Linkin Park has secured their eighth overall No. 1 and fifth consecutive chart-topper on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, as “Up From the Bottom” climbs three spots to reach the summit on this week’s ranking. Linkin Park’s latest hit extends their record for the most consecutive number ones on the chart since its inception in June 2009. “Up From the Bottom” reached No. 1 during only its third week on the tally, wrapping the shortest trip to the top since Linkin Park’s own “The Emptiness Machine” hit No. 1 in its second week last September during its 15-week reign at atop the chart. With their eighth total Rock & Alternative Airplay No. 1, Linkin Park ties Green Day for the second-most overall chart-toppers, trailing only Foo Fighters‘ record of 11. “Up From the Bottom” is featured on the deluxe edition of Linkin Park’s eighth studio album, From Zero, which is set to be released on May 16.
