Linkin Park Blocked From A Historic No. 1 Hit

Linkin Park’s winning streak continues this week, thanks largely to the growing popularity of one single, which is on the rise across a handful of Billboard rankings. The group’s latest cut “Up From the Bottom” remains a major player at rock-focused radio stations in the United States at the moment. While the tune nearly earns the Grammy-winning act another No. 1, it’s currently held back from claiming the top spot, but that could easily change in the coming days.

“Up From the Bottom” Hits a New High

“Up From the Bottom” climbs to a new all-time high on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, which tallies the tracks that reach the largest total audience at stations focusing on the harder side of the genre. This frame, the cut ascends one space from No. 3 to No. 2. In the days or weeks ahead, there’s a very good chance Linkin Park will notch another chart-topper — and in doing so, make history.

Linkin Park’s Dozen No. 1s

So far, Linkin Park has scored a dozen No. 1s on the Mainstream Rock Airplay tally. The group currently stands alone in ninth place on the list of the acts that have accrued the most champions. If the rockers can notch a lucky thirteenth leader, they will tie with Van Halen, Godsmack, and Disturbed, all of which jointly hold the record for the sixth-most rulers.

Volbeat Blocks Linkin Park From No. 1

“By a Monster’s Hand” by Volbeat leads the Mainstream Rock Airplay list for a second frame at the moment, and it is currently keeping Linkin Park from the summit. That track recently became Volbeat’s eleventh No. 1, placing the act just one champion behind Linkin Park.

Linkin Park Rising on Multiple Radio Rankings

“Up From the Bottom” is also moving up on the Alternative Airplay chart, and just like on the Mainstream Rock Airplay tally, it could soon advance to No. 1. This frame, it lifts from No. 5 to No. 3.

Meanwhile, Linkin Park remains steady at No. 1 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay ranking with “Up From the Bottom.” The single has now dominated that tally for five of the seven weeks it has spent somewhere on that roster. Meanwhile, “By a Monster’s Hand” rises to a new peak of No. 6 on that same list.

Radio is Keeping “Up From the Bottom” Alive

While “Up From the Bottom” continues climbing on radio, it slips on general consumption rankings. This frame, the track dips to No. 10 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart and to No. 41 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs list.
