In the United Kingdom, there are a handful of charts that are focused on the bestselling songs in sometimes one genre and in other cases multiple related styles. It\u2019s not unusual for the same singles to hold on those lists for months, if not years, at a time, and some of the biggest tracks in hip-hop or rock can continue to perform well enough to appear for incredible lengths of time. <\/p>\n
Linkin Park<\/a> is often one of the most successful acts on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart. The nu metal and hard rock group usually claims several slots at once, and a handful of tunes by the Grammy winners have racked up hundreds of stays on those lists. This time around, one of Linkin Park\u2019s biggest smashes reaches a very rarely-seen milestone \u2013 one which the band has only reached once before.<\/p>\n Linkin Park\u2019s \u201cWhat I\u2019ve Done\u201d Hits a Decade as a Bestseller<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I\u2019ve Done\u201d<\/a> declines slightly on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart<\/a> this week, slipping from No. 21 to No. 23. As it holds on, the cut reaches 520 frames, or exactly a decade, as one of the 40 bestselling rock, hard rock, or metal tracks throughout the U.K.<\/p>\n \u201cNumb\u201d Remains the Band\u2019s Longest-Running Hit<\/p>\n For most acts, keeping any song on any list for a decade would be a once-in-a-lifetime showing, but Linkin Park has managed the feat before. \u201cNumb\u201d remains the group\u2019s longest-charting success, and it is in a very distant first place. That tune, which currently ranks as the group\u2019s loftiest placement on the tally, is up to 942 stays somewhere on the style-specific roster.<\/p>\n \u201cOne Step Closer,” \u201cNumb,” \u201cFaint\u201d and \u201cCrawling\u201d<\/p>\n Another four songs by Linkin Park have lived on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart for triple-digit weeks, but none have come close to matching the success of either \u201cWhat I\u2019ve Done\u201d or \u201cNumb.\u201d \u201cOne Step Closer\u201d is up to 191 frames, and it is followed by \u201cNew Divide\u201d (158), \u201cFaint\u201d (143), and \u201cCrawling\u201d (112).<\/p>\n Linkin Park\u2019s \u201cNew Divide\u201d Ruled For 13 Weeks<\/p>\n Linkin Park is one of the most successful acts of all time on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart in many regards, and that\u2019s certainly the case when it comes to the total accumulation of No. 1s. The band has racked up 14 champions, including \u201cWhat I\u2019ve Done.\u201d The single, which will turn 20 next year, spent five of its 520 weeks on the tally ruling. That is one of the longer runs at the summit for any Linkin Park track, though it does not stand out as the group\u2019s longest-running leader. That honor belongs to \u201cNew Divide,\u201d<\/a> with a lucky 13 turns in the spotlight. <\/p>\n Here are all of Linkin Park\u2019s No. 1s on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart.<\/p>\n “Bleed It Out””Burn It Down””High Voltage \/ Points of Authority””In the End””Lost””New Divide””Numb””Papercut””Rolling in the Deep””Somewhere I Belong””The Catalyst””The Emptiness Machine””Until It\u2019s Gone””What I\u2019ve Done”Linkin Park Claims Six Current Hits in the U.K.<\/p>\n Linkin Park scores more hits on this week\u2019s Official Rock and Metal Singles chart than any other artist. The group claims half a dozen wins this frame, and all of them have spent more than a year on the tally. \u201cNumb\u201d<\/a> is the outfit\u2019s only top 10 and highest-rising smash, while \u201cWhat I\u2019ve Done\u201d fits somewhere in the middle. <\/p>\n Here are all of Linkin Park\u2019s current smashes on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart.<\/p>\n No. 7 – \u201cNumb\u201dNo. 13 – \u201cSomewhere I Belong\u201dNo. 14 – \u201cFaint\u201dNo. 23 – \u201cWhat I\u2019ve Done\u201dNo. 27 – \u201cThe Emptiness Machine\u201dNo. 33 – \u201cOne Step Closer\u201dQueen, Bon Jovi, and Guns N\u2019 Roses Live Inside the Top 10<\/p>\n Smashes that reach the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart tend to either live on the list for a few weeks or years, and the tally lends itself to incredibly long stays. Of the 40 tunes that are present at the moment, 24 have spent a decade or more as bestsellers. That includes the entirety of the top 10, where cuts by artists like Queen, Bon Jovi, and Guns N\u2019 Roses, among others, have held on for 900 frames or more.<\/p>\n
