Linkin Park Goes ‘From Zero’ to Chart Hero with ARIA No. 1 Debut

Linkin Park have made a triumphant return to the top of the ARIA Albums Chart with From Zero (via Warner Records and Machine Shop), their eighth studio album and the first release since 2017’s One More Light.

Their latest milestone Down Under is especially poignant as it marks the debut of their new lineup, featuring Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, Emily Armstrong, and Colin Brittain, following the heartbreaking loss of former frontman Chester Bennington in 2017.

From Zero adds to Linkin Park’s storied ARIA legacy, with every studio album they’ve released landing in the top three. This new chart-topper joins the ranks of Hybrid Theory (2000), Minutes to Midnight (2007), and A Thousand Suns (2010), cementing their place as one of the most successful rock acts in ARIA history.

Australian rapper Illy also delivered a standout performance on the charts, landing at No. 4 with Good Life. As his seventh studio album, Good Life marks his fourth trip to the Top 10, following the successes of Cinematic (No. 4 in 2013), Two Degrees (No. 1 in 2016), and The Space Between (No. 1 in 2021).

On the international front, Shawn Mendes debuted at No. 24 with his fifth studio album, Shawn. The Canadian hitmaker, who previously claimed the No. 1 spot in 2018 with Shawn Mendes and reached No. 2 with 2020’s Wonder, remains a force to be reckoned with on the ARIA charts.

In a posthumous triumph, U.K. hip-hop icon MF Doom makes his first-ever ARIA Albums Chart appearance. The 20th-anniversary edition of his classic MM.. Food enters at No. 29, proving the late legend’s music continues to resonate with fans old and new.

On the ARIA Singles Chart, Gracie Abrams is ruling the airwaves, holding steady at No. 1 for a second week with her track That’s So True.

She joins the ranks of powerhouse female artists like Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish who have dominated the top spot this year, with female artists claiming the No. 1 position for 25 weeks in 2024, including an unbroken streak of 16 weeks.
