The second album by Linkin Park Meteora was originally released in 2003 and made the band not only newcomers in the hard rock genre, but stars. It built on the incredible success of their debut album, Hybrid theory, and produced a series of hits that remain popular to this day.

In 2023, the now largely disbanded band released a 20th anniversary edition of the title and returned to the charts around the world. In the year since then Meteora has stuck in the minds and ears of Linkin Park fans, causing the record to continue to rise and fall in the rankings as they continued to buy and stream the set.

Meteora returns to two charts in the US this week as long-time Linkin Park fans have made the set a hit again. It wasn’t long ago that the track was last featured in some of billboard, But as sales figures increase, the project reappears on several lists at the same time.

The hard rock set storms back into the charts of best-selling albums and vinyl albums this week. Meteora appears again on the former at No. 43 and on the latter at No. 21.

Meteora has dominated both of these lists before. It has now spent an incredible 120 weeks on the Top Album Sales chart, which ranks the country’s best-selling LPs. In stark contrast to this long-running success, the same project has only managed four spots on the Vinyl Albums chart, which focuses exclusively on the best-selling titles on vinyl.

In the last tracking week Meteora According to Luminate, 2,600 copies were sold. That number is more than 33% higher than the same period last year, when there were just under 2,000 purchases. Based on Luminate’s numbers, it’s not clear how many of those sales were on vinyl or in another format.

Since it returns to two diagrams, Meteora is also on the rise on four other counts in America. Linkin Park’s classic is rising on the Billboard200 (No. 66), Top Rock & Alternative Albums (No. 15), Top Rock Albums (No. 12) and Top Alternative Albums (No. 7). It remains unchanged at No. 3 on the Top Hard Rock Albums list.
