Linkin Park Score Career-Best UK Chart Position With ‘The Emptiness Machine’

Linkin Park have just made history with their latest single, The Emptiness Machine, reaching an unprecedented No. 4 on the UK Top 40 chart. This marks the band’s highest ever chart position in the UK, surpassing their previous peak with What I’ve Done, which hit No. 6 back in 2007. The single also stands as this week’s highest new entry, cementing the band’s enduring influence in the global music scene.

The track, which introduces new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, is the first release from their highly anticipated album From Zero, set to drop on November 15th. It’s a significant moment for Linkin Park as they embrace a new chapter in their musical evolution while continuing to connect with their devoted fanbase.

Linkin Park launched their comeback with a special livestream on September 5th, followed by their first official live performance of this era at LA’s Kia Forum on September 11th. The band are scheduled to perform additional shows in major cities such as New York, Hamburg, London, and Seoul throughout the month, reigniting excitement for both longtime fans and new listeners.
