Linkin Park has made a triumphant return to the music scene with their latest release, Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023), which has quickly climbed the Billboard charts. The compilation of greatest hits has resonated well with the band's dedicated fan base, propelling it to success across multiple rankings.
Papercuts debuted impressively, entering the top 10 on various Billboard lists and even securing the number one position on several tallies. However, despite its strong performance, Linkin Park was narrowly edged out of the top spot on the Top Album Sales chart by Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter, which reclaimed the number one position this week.
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter saw a notable increase in sales, with a 37% surge compared to the previous week, driven by the availability of the album on CD and vinyl through all major retailers. Initially, the country project was exclusively sold on Beyoncé's website, but its wider release contributed to its resurgence in sales.
Although Papercuts fell just short of securing the top spot on the Top Album Sales chart, it did achieve number one rankings on the Vinyl Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Additionally, the compilation debuted at second place on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Alternative Albums tallies, showcasing its broad appeal across different music genres.
Linkin Park's latest release has reaffirmed their enduring popularity and musical influence, as evidenced by the enthusiastic reception from fans and its strong performance on the Billboard charts. With Papercuts, the band continues to captivate audiences with their signature sound and timeless hits, solidifying their status as one of the most iconic rock acts of the 21st century.
