Linkin Park’s music is surging once again in the United Kingdom, which happens regularly. The band is in the middle of its From Zero World Tour, which recently wrapped a European leg that included stops in Germany, France, and England. Several of the Grammy winner’s projects are climbing the charts, with fans in the United Kingdom focusing on Hybrid Theory, as the group’s debut full-length mounts an impressive comeback.

Hybrid Theory Returns to Three Charts

This week, Hybrid Theory appears on six different U.K. albums rankings. The project returns to half of them, doubling the number of charts where it’s found.

It’s a top 40 seller again on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, reentering at No. 37. The set also returns to both the Official Album Downloads and Official Albums rankings, landing at Nos. 65 and 87, respectively.

Linkin Park Surges Into the Top 10

At the same time it reappears on those three tallies, Hybrid Theory jumps on the other three it already occupied last frame. The set breaks back into the top 10 on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, climbing from No. 11 to No. 6. It also reaches the top 40 on both the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums lists, improving by more than 10 spaces on each to Nos. 36 and 39, respectively.

Hybrid Theory Has Hit the Top 10 Everywhere

In the past, Hybrid Theory has reached the top 10 on every U.K. chart it’s touched, though it has only managed to lead one: the Official Rock and Metal Albums list. Its lowest peak remains the No. 6 position, where it stalled on the Official Vinyl Albums roster.

The album’s chart longevity varies widely from list to list. It has only just passed the half-year mark on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, where it is now up to 27 weeks. On the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, however, it has logged more than 1,000 frames and is almost always present somewhere on the tally.

Four Linkin Park Albums Chart Together

Hybrid Theory is one of four Linkin Park releases that are currently charting in the U.K. The band’s comeback set From Zero, which arrived less than a year ago, reenters three lists and rises on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, where Meteora can also be found. Papercuts, a compilation of many of its biggest hits from before the group’s most recent era, is also climbing on several rankings at the same time.
