HELL YES. Glad to see ATS is doing so well. I love the album.

does anyone know if they are schedule to play any late night shows?

Deserved it! Congrats!

Interesting what are the sales quantities.

An excellent result. The people took the album, ATS - great.

i like what i see :-) happy for lp!!!

I really love that ATS is so good on the charts, cause the record is really awesome
Maybe one of the best records.
Musically it's the best!!! You can really see that LP is growing up from record to record

NICE this is vary good
I knew that LP only could be number 2 i Denmark..
The same day as ATS was relased, the danish Rock band Volbeat relased Beyond Hell/Above Heaven..
Maybe you have heart about them, they was touring with Metalica in US.
you can hear the first single from they here

Great numbers Rock on LP!!!!!

I think the record MTM sales, will be broken album ATS 

Congrats to LP!

Damn us Irish with only a #3. Sorry bout that LP, some folk are gonna be getting slapped as punishment! HA

On that note, does anyone know how the ATS orders direct from LP.com are counted?
I mean, do they go towards the US charts or because I ordered one, does it go towards the Irish charts?
Do direct orders from LP.com even count at all towards chart positioning???

it's #1 in my place, im from hong kong
but hong kong is not a "country" though

This is dedicated to the haters...

Congratulations LP !!!

I'd like to see what the haters have to say now lol

Keep rocking LP!!

like always number 1 here, but we never get any shows :/

Great numbers, its amazing that LP its #2 here in mexico, i dont know where i can find the web with Mexico chart position , i wish it was at #1 but considering there are a lot of mexican/latinoamerican/spain artist, to me its a great position

2010-2011 will be the year:) i promise you LP will visit SA soon

...and in my little country, Hungary, it came to the 3rd place in the MAHASZ record list Nice work, Linkin Park!

Where's Taiwan!!!
they are No.1 Too!!

WTF only at #4 : No wonder my country is on the brink of chaos

kudos to LP for another splendid debut

Edit: Belgians are getting their sanity back, up to #2 this week

Nicee!!! Was hoping for this!!

LP just gets better and better amidst all those player haters. (rhymed. haha)

ATS remained at #1 in Australia in its second week. Still no gold/platinum accreditation, but it can't be far off

I'm predicting a bit of a decline in the next chart update though ): (due on Sunday)

so i'm happy to announce i was wrong...

A Thousand Suns remained at #1 in Australia for its third week in the charts and has now been certified GOLD!

My congratulations to the band .....

I would like to think I did my bit here in Australia. I got myself a copy, my little brother a copy and my three best mates a copy each.

nice work good to hear i'm not the only one who went a little overboard on buying copies

i bought 2 of the deluxe fan editions (one for me, one for the bro)
2 of the special editions (one to play, the other to keep sealed)
one of the regular editions (to give to my aunty)
and one of the itunes special editions (to check out the 'unique visualisations' - which ended up being the album booklet with small amounts of animation )

not to mention a couple of orders from the states

Nice work dude! That's a real effort!

thanks man


happy to announce that linkin park held on to the #1 album spot in australia for a FOURTH consecutive week!!!

i must add that this doesn't happen a lot here these days... so well done to the guys for having a kick-ass CD that people are clearly digging!
