Linkin Park has set a new Billboard chart record with their comeback album, From Zero. The entirety of the top 10 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart consists of songs off From Zero, marking the first time a single act has occupied every spot from #1 to #10 on that particular ranking since it began in 2020. Lead single “The Emptiness Machine” currently sits at #1, followed by “Heavy Is the Crown,” “Two Faced,” “Over Each Other,” “Cut the Bridge,” “Stained,” “Good Things Go,” “Overflow,” “Casualty” and “IGYEIH.” The only From Zero cut not currently charting on Hot Hard Rock Songs is the 22-second introductory title track. From Zero marks the first Linkin Park album since the 2017 death of frontman Chester Bennington, and their first with new singer Emily Armstrong. It debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200.
They also announced a world tour, which includes two U.S. headlining legs, running from April 26 in Austin, Texas, to May in Greenville, South Carolina, and from July 29 in Brooklyn, New York, to Sept. 24 in Seattle. Along the way, LP will play the festivals Sick New World, Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville, and will also play dates in Mexico, Canada, Asia, Europe and South America. Depending on the date, openers include Queens of the Stone Age, AFI, Spiritbox, Architects, PVRIS and grandson, among others.
