Linkin Park's meteora reaches historic milestone on Billboard 200

In the United States, Linkin Park's album Meteora has recently achieved a significant milestone by spending 208 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, marking it as the band's second album to remain on the chart for four full years. This notable achievement follows a successful trajectory for the band since they first released their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which also experienced extensive chart presence. Meteora has seen a slight decrease on the Billboard 200, dropping from No. 108 to a lower position but still selling 11,800 equivalent units during the latest tracking period. The album continues to hold its ground across multiple Billboard charts, finding placements on categories such as the Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums, which speaks to its enduring popularity despite being released over two decades ago. In addition to Meteora's accomplishments, Linkin Park's latest album, From Zero, has also gained traction in the U.K. music charts as it reenters the Official Vinyl Albums list at No. 38 and the Official Physical Albums chart at No. 63, thanks to a surge in sales. This comeback is especially significant for the band following the tragic death of lead singer Chester Bennington, which led to a long hiatus before the band's recent return to the music scene with new members. Despite its ups and downs, From Zero has so far proved to be a bestseller, reestablishing the band's presence in the music industry. The album's success is attributed to increased sales, particularly in vinyl formats, which enhance its overall performance across various charts. Linkin Park's continuous presence on multiple albums in the charts highlights the band's commitment and resilience in the music landscape, solidifying its legacy as a significant powerhouse in rock music. Both albums demonstrate Linkin Park's significant discography while resonating with new and long-standing fans alike, showcasing their adaptability in a competitive market over the years.
