Linkin Park Dons ‘Crown’ Atop Rock & Alternative Airplay Chart
The band lands its seventh No. 1 with “Heavy Is the Crown.”
Linkin Park earns its seventh No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart and second from the band’s new album From Zero, as “Heavy Is the Crown” jumps three spots to the top of the Jan. 25-dated survey.
“Heavy Is the Crown” reigns with 4.7 million in audience, up 11%, in the week ending Jan. 16, according to Luminate.
The takeover follows the 15-week rule of “The Emptiness Machine,” From Zero’s lead single, beginning last September.
On Rock & Alternative Airplay, which began in 2009, Linkin Park first led with “New Divide” that year, followed by “The Catalyst” (2010), “Burn It Down” (2012), “Lost” (2023) and “Friendly Fire” (2024).
The group claims sole possession of the third-most No. 1s in the chart’s history, after sitting in a three-way tie for the mark.
Most No. 1s, Rock & Alternative Airplay:
- 11, Foo Fighters
- 8, Green Day
- 7, Linkin Park
- 6, Cage the Elephant
- 6, Twenty One Pilots
- 5, The Black Keys
- 5, Imagine Dragons
- 4, Red Hot Chili Peppers
- 3, Weezer
Of Linkin Park’s seven No. 1s, two are with new co-lead singer Emily Armstrong, who joined the band in 2024. She replaced Chester Bennington, who died in 2017 and provided vocals on the band’s first five rulers (including the posthumous releases “Lost” and “Friendly Fire”).
Concurrently, “Heavy Is the Crown” lifts 3-2 for a new high on Mainstream Rock Airplay and shoots 26-17 to a new best on Alternative Airplay. “The Emptiness Machine” ruled the charts for six and five weeks, respectively.
On the most recently published multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs chart (dated Jan. 18, reflecting data accrued Jan. 3-9), “Heavy Is the Crown” held at its No. 2 high (as “The Emptiness Machine” ruled for an 18th week). In addition to its radio airplay, the song earned 1.9 million official U.S. streams.
From Zero debuted at No. 1 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart dated Nov. 30, 2024, and has earned 266,000 equivalent album units to date.
All Billboard charts dated Jan. 25 will update on Billboard.com on Wednesday, Jan. 22, a day later than usual due to the Jan. 20 Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in the U.S.
