Linkin Park’s Catalog Grows Ahead Of An Exciting Re-Release
by Hugh McIntyre · ForbesNext week, Linkin Park's From Zero will likely surge on charts around the world. The rock band dropped the deluxe edition of the collection on Friday (May 16), and fans are already streaming the full release again — and some are sure to purchase another copy as ell. The title was supported by several new singles, including "Up From the Bottom" and "Unshatter," both of which became at least minor global hits.
In anticipation of the expanded edition, several standouts from Linkin Park’s catalog are already climbing in the United Kingdom, and the coming frame could be even more impressive for the Grammy-winning act.
Linkin Park’s Albums are on the Rise
This week, four of Linkin Park’s albums appear on U.K. musical rankings. All but one of them are featured on multiple tallies, and two are tied with three placements apiece. In every case, the band’s efforts are ascending.
From Zero and Hybrid Theory Hit the Top 10
While From Zero is not currently the group’s top-performing title, it is tied with Hybrid Theory — Linkin Park’s debut full-length — for the greatest number of appearances. Both sets are featured on three tallies each: the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, as well as the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart.
On the latter, both projects are living inside the top 10. Hybrid Theory rebounds from No. 13 to No. 10, while From Zero climbs from No. 10 to No. 8.

Papercuts by Linkin Park is a Big Win Again
Papercuts – Singles Collection 2000–2023 currently gives Linkin Park its highest placements overall. It’s the only release of the bunch to appear on the Official Albums chart — the all-genre top 100 list of the most popular full-lengths and EPs in the U.K. On that tally, it holds at No. 25.
While sales appear to be powering From Zero and Hybrid Theory, streaming activity is fueling the ongoing success of Papercuts. The compilation is the lone title from the band present on the Official Albums Streaming list, where it bumps up one spot to No. 17.
Meteora Gains Ground
Linkin Park’s sophomore effort Meteora may be present on only one ranking, but it still makes meaningful progress. The early-career win leaps four rungs to No. 33 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, which ranks the bestselling titles in those styles alone.
