Linkin Park’s Breakout Single Brings The Band To A Special Landmark

Linkin Park’s “In the End” became a worldwide hit almost a quarter century ago. The hard rock tune crossed over and was played on pop radio, which helped it become the group’s biggest hit to date and the kind that turned the band into household superstars. Decades later, and after multiple album releases and dozens of singles, “In the End” remains a staple in any rock lover’s rotation and, to this day, a hit all around the world.

“In the End” Rises on the Billboard Global 200

“In the End” inches up one spot to No. 65 on the Billboard Global 200. The cut becomes Linkin Park’s first to rack up triple-digit stays on Billboard’s ranking of the most consumed songs all around the planet, as it reaches 100 weeks on the tally.

Linkin Park likely won’t score another 100-week charter for months. “Numb” is the band’s second-longest running win on the Billboard Global 200, and it is up to 66 frames on that list, a figure it adds to this time around as it jumps to No. 111.

“The Emptiness Machine,” the lead single from Linkin Park’s comeback album From Zero, has only amassed 36 turns on the Billboard Global 200 – so far – but it already ranks as the group’s third-longest charting success.

“In the End” Nears Another Milestone

“In the End” can also be found on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which operates in much the same way as the Billboard Global 200, but excludes any activity generated in America. “In the End” has spent 98 weeks somewhere between Nos. 1 and 200, so two weeks from now, it will almost surely become the group’s first 100-week winner.

“In the End” Remains a Hit in America

“In the End” is also a hit specifically in the U.S., not just when looking globally. The track declines slightly on the Alternative Streaming Songs chart, dipping to No. 22, while at the same time leading the Hard Rock Streaming Songs ranking once more.

Linkin Park has ruled that tally 11 times with “In the End” out of the 264 weeks it has spent somewhere on the roster of the most played hard rock cuts in the nation on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and others.
