Okay, so The Hunting Party sold ~110k physical, One More Light will be ~85k. That seems like a pretty natural drop-off. But according to the True...
Okay that makes way more sense. There's still time for things to even out. Obviously One More Light was going to sell less physical copies than...
So what I'm getting at is: The Hunting Party managed to sell over 100k physical its first week, and that number did NOT include streaming. One...
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. When The Hunting Party came out, album streams were not yet being including as an "album sale." So that...
Does anyone remember when "album sales" began to include streaming numbers as well? If I remember correctly, that wasn't the case when The...
Yeah, I guess I should clarify. I am in NO WAY trying to suggest that you somehow benefit monetarily from the relationship between...
As far as Jayhov's point about Derek, he's technically right. Being the owner/founder/mod of a Linkin Park fansite, while also being a...
The implication of this video is that One More Light was a more calculated move than the band has been letting on. "Our intention is to make a...

I believe it's "wings," as in he's looking out the window of a plane, thinking of his family back on the ground.
My reaction to Nobody Can Save Me was very Big Quint-esque. When Chester described the album as "sexy," he was definitely referring to this song.
So do I, to an extent. I'm not saying One More Light isn't risking the band's reputation with some of their hardcore fans. That's a fact. I'm...
...Yes? How is doing exactly the thing you've been doing a risky artistic move? The difference between now and 2007 is 10 years and 4 albums....
The stuff in bold is basically the issue of intention vs outcome. I am not suggesting that Linkin Park sat down in a room, maybe with a white...
I'm inferring that if the band doesn't intend to make an album that caters to the pop masses, but they do end up making an album that caters to...
I pretty much agree with this post. My main issue is: if we're not talking about whether or not the final product, the art itself, is a risk, then...
Right. I don't think mainstream audiences are holding their breath for the new Linkin Park songs in the same way they are Drake or Bieber. But the...
