Linkin Park Reclaims Top Spot on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums Chart

In an impressive comeback, Linkin Park has once again ascended to the No. 1 position on a Billboard chart. This week, the renowned rock band’s latest compilation album, Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023), has reclaimed the throne on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, dethroning another prominent act in the genre.

Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023) has surged back to the top, overtaking Bring Me The Horizon’s Post Human: Nex Gen, which had secured the No. 1 spot just last week. Bring Me The Horizon’s latest offering has now fallen to No. 7 in its second week on the chart, marking a significant drop after its initial success.

This marks the fifth week that Papercuts has dominated the consumption charts, solidifying its status as one of Linkin Park’s most enduring leaders. The compilation includes a mix of the band’s greatest hits and some new tracks, which has captivated both long-time fans and new listeners alike.

According to data provided by Luminate, Papercuts amassed 21,284 equivalent units in the past tracking week, reflecting a notable increase of over 13% from the previous period. This resurgence underscores the album’s growing popularity and enduring appeal.

As Post Human: Nex Gen descends the rankings, several other albums have moved up. The top six spots on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart now feature a range of artists including Queen, Nickelback, and Guns N’ Roses, each advancing one position.

The success of Papercuts can be attributed to its broad appeal. The compilation debuted at No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart with considerable ease earlier this year, driven by the inclusion of both classic hits and new material. Fans eagerly embraced the album, relishing the opportunity to revisit beloved tracks and discover fresh content from the largely inactive group.

Linkin Park’s enduring influence in the hard rock genre is unmistakable, and their latest achievement on the Billboard chart is a testament to their lasting legacy and the unwavering support of their fans.
