LPLStaff Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Congratulations to Linkin Park! 'One More Light' has passed 1 billion streams on Spotify, becoming LP's fourth album to reach the feat after 'Hybrid Theory', 'Meteora', and 'Minutes to Midnight'. Spotify, which was launched in 2008, really gained in popularity with the shift to streaming that occurred in the last 5-7 years. Four albums reaching 1 billion is quite impressive.

Somebodyangry Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It’s insane, this gives the dimension on how big LP still is, despite being a rock act who surpassed their peak more than a decade ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that in the MTM era it was much harder for a rock band to achieve that kind of commercial success. Pre-MTM, rock was still hip.

Yeah MTM is their best charting record, and WID was more successful than, say, Papercut or OSC or SIB and Faint chart-wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coizu Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 MTM was also the time when they started headlining all the big festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not in terms of charting record (I actually don't know that) but the promotion of it was massive, the single had 6 officially released physical versions (including Limited Japan edition and not 1 but 2 Premium editions) and I don't remember them doing something like that with any other single.

Yeah chart wise it didn’t do that well but I remember the song all over on the radio and on MTV, it was pretty massive, in Italy is one of the best known songs by the band among the occasional fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numb, Faint, Waiting For The End, The Catalyst, Burn It Down and ALTNC saw two releases I think. Don't know about the MTM era with the picture vinyls and stuff but I mean, that's why I'm grateful for ppl like you martinez, you kept track of stuff like this did all the physical releases get digital releases too? like if I wanted a b-side from a Meteora or MTM single that's not been released elsewhere (if that's even the case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically only Somewhere I Belong is available and it's missing the live version of My December. At least now we have all the Hybrid Theory b-sides available on HT20.

Stuff like WID, BIO LOATR and SOTD were (and are) a lot more popular than The Catalyst, WFTE or Iridescent among the occasional LP listeners 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cesar656 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 MTM was a thousand times bigger than ATS to the casual fans and charts. And overall, its actually a really good record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the biggest single on ATS was WFTE but (sadly, because it’s super awesome) it didn’t reach half of the success of stuff like SOTD or BIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
