In the United States, Linkin Park has recently achieved significant success with their new single 'Up From the Bottom.' This track has climbed to No. 1 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart within just three weeks of its release. The band's rapid ascent in the charts is attributed to a notable 28% increase in the track's radio audience impressions. This latest achievement makes Linkin Park's eighth No. 1 on this particular chart, tying them with Green Day for the second-most chart-toppers in the ranking's history, following only the Foo Fighters who lead with eleven No. 1 singles. Linkin Park's journey to this milestone began back in 2009 with their first No. 1 hit, 'New Divide.' The band continued to build on their radio success with hits such as 'The Catalyst' and 'Burn It Down.' After a long hiatus from chart-topping success over nearly a decade, they returned with a string of successful singles, including the recently released 'Up From the Bottom.' This resurgence showcases the undeniable demand for Linkin Park's new material and highlights their ongoing relevance in the rock music scene. Accompanying the release of 'Up From the Bottom' is 'Unshattered,' another recent single that has debuted at No. 2 on iTunes, immediately following its release. 'Unshattered' is tied to the band's upcoming deluxe edition of their album 'From Zero,' which originally launched in the fall of 2024. The anticipation surrounding this deluxe edition suggests that Linkin Park is gearing up for a continued presence in the music industry, especially considering the enthusiastic reception of their singles. Overall, Linkin Park's recent successes indicate a robust return to form for the band, highlighting their capability to connect with fans and perform well on prominent music charts. As they build their discography further, it will be interesting to see how they navigate the evolving music landscape and if they can surpass the record currently held by the Foo Fighters in the near future.
