Linkin Park’s ‘Lost’ Launches at No. 1 on Hot Hard Rock Songs Chart

  For the first time in over a decade, there’s a No. 1 debut on  Billboard ’s  Rock & Alternative Airplay  chart. Linkin Park ’s “Lost,” recorded during the sessions for the band’s 2003 album,  Meteora , and released Feb. 10, bows at No. 1 on the all- rock -format, audience-based Rock & Alternative Airplay list dated Feb. 25. In the Feb. 10-16 tracking week, “Lost” earned 10.1 million audience impressions, according to Luminate. That’s the best weekly impression count for any song since  Lana Del Rey ’s “Doin’ Time” earned 10.5 million in its sixth and final week at No. 1 (Oct. 12, 2019). The last song to debut with a higher audience total than “Lost”? “Jumpsuit” by  Twenty One Pilots  (10.2 million, July 21, 2018; it opened at No. 4 that week). “Lost” is one of just four songs to bound in at No. 1 on Rock & Alternative Airplay dating to the chart’s June 2009 inception – and Linkin Park is the first act to achieve the feat twice.

JAY-Z hopes Chester Bennington’s death serves as ‘wake-up call’ for mental health awareness

JAY-Z believes the heartbreaking loss of late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington could serve a greater purpose by helping to spread awareness about mental health. Bennington — who famously collaborated with JAY-Z for the 2004 megahit "Numb/Encore" — took his own life in July. "Hopefully his death serves as a wake-up call," Jay-Z said during a recent interview with  BBC Radio 1 . "Mental health is a real thing. You never know what people are going through, and you think because they're performers and he sold 14 million records — that doesn't equate to happiness. Money or fame doesn't mean anything if you're not happy inside." JAY-Z performed his crossover hit with Linkin Park during his time at the BBC studios as a tribute to Bennington. He also played a new song, "Family Feud," during his appearance, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of the British outlet's Live Lounge. The rapper recently performed ...

Chester Bennington’s Bandmate & Widow Read Final Texts: ‘He Was In A Life Or Death Battle’

Chester Bennington Late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington was honored by his Dead By Sunrise bandmate Ryan Shuck at a recent tribute event. Shuck discussed his final conversations with Bennington, and reading the final texts with Chester’s widow Talinda. “A mentally and emotionally healthy Chester would have never meant to hurt any of us, I can promise you that. Never. He was not himself when this happened, and he was not in control. We often spoke at length about the power of our darkness, in an effort to repel it and understand it, not invite it in and let it have its way with us. There’s no easy way to say this, but this was not an act of selfishness, he didn’t mean to hurt us, it was an act of illness. Upon re-reading some of my last texts with Chester, Talinda and I sat there and read them all together. I realized that while he was lovingly encouraging me with my own battle with addiction, and the dark passenger as we called it, he was also clearly describing his o...
