Linkin Park’s “One Step Closer,” “What I’ve Done,” and “Heavy Is the Crown” reenter the U.K.’s … More
In just a few days, Linkin Park will release the deluxe edition of the album From Zero. The full-length dropped in November 2024, and an updated take is expected on May 16. Ahead of that exciting release, several of the hard rock outfit’s most popular tracks have returned to the same chart in the United Kingdom, as fans in that country are still enjoying both the tunes that made the band a global phenomenon decades ago and some of its most recent cuts – including one from the expanded From Zero tracklist.
Three Linkin Park Hits Return to the U.K. Rock Chart
Three tracks by Linkin Park reenter the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart this week. They all land just a few spaces from one another on the 40-spot roster, which measures the bestselling individual tunes in those genres.
Among the trio, “One Step Closer” is the highest reentry, as it breaks back in at No. 30. Fellow years-old cut “What I’ve Done” lands at No. 34 after not appearing on the tally at all last week. From Zero single “Heavy Is the Crown” is also back on the rock and metal list, just barely managing to find space as it settles at No. 39, coming in second-to-last place.
All Three Comebacks Have Reached the Top 10
All three of Linkin Park’s returning tracks have previously spent time inside the uppermost reaches of the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart. Among them, only “What I’ve Done” has hit No. 1. “Heavy Is the Crown” missed out on doing so by just one space, while “One Step Closer” peaked at No. 3.
“What I’ve Done” is fast approaching 500 weeks on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, while “One Step Closer” will soon hit 150 frames. “Heavy Is the Crown” has remained largely present on the list since it arrived in late 2024, racking up 32 appearances in just a few months.
Linkin Park Occupies Seven Spots on the Rock Chart
In addition to those three returning favorites, four other Linkin Park cuts remain on the same chart. “Numb” sits at No. 9, “The Emptiness Machine” follows at No. 13, “Faint” is down at No. 28, and “Up from the Bottom” makes space at No. 35. Some of these compositions are climbing, others are declining, and the highest-ranking among them stays steady from last time.
