Linkin Park’s new single “Unshatter” debuts inside the top 10 on four Billboard charts, marking … More
On May 16, Linkin Park will release the deluxe edition of From Zero. The standard version of the album dropped in the fall of 2024 and was promoted with a slew of hugely successful singles. The collection proved that the band, which had been out of the spotlight for years, could still produce radio smashes and continued to command a massive fanbase.
Two tracks from the upcoming expanded project have already been shared, and one of them debuts inside the top 10 on multiple Billboard rankings this week in the U.S.
“Unshatter” Becomes Another Billboard Success
“Unshatter” is the second official single from the deluxe edition of From Zero. It arrives just about a month after “Up from the Bottom,” which also became a big Billboard success. This week, “Unshatter” lands on five tallies published by the music magazine. It opens inside the top 10 on all but one of them, thanks largely to about 1,400 pure purchases, according to Luminate.
Linkin Park’s “Unshatter” hits No. 3 as it arrives on both the Alternative Digital Song Sales and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts. That’s the highest position it reaches on any list.
On the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart, it’s bested by Sleep Token’s “Damocles,” which also leads the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales ranking. On the former list, “Messy” by Lola Young drops from No. 1 to No. 2, while former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar debuts his tribute to Eddie Van Halen titled “Encore (Thank You, Goodnight)” in the runner-up spot on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart.
“Unshatter” also begins its time on both the Rock Digital Song Sales and Hot Hard Rock Songs charts, kicking off at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively.
Linkin Park’s Modest Opening on the Rock Chart
The same new Linkin Park single is also present on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, Billboard’s most important tally dedicated to individual tunes in those genres. The band’s track barely becomes a top 40 win, as it gets its start at No. 38.
Linkin Park Continues to Dominate
Throughout the decades, Linkin Park has collected dozens of smashes on most of these rankings. It has accrued the fewest appearances on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, as “Unshatter” marks the band’s twenty-first placement. The group has earned the most entries on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs list, where it has collected a total of 51 placements.
