ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Linkin Park

Linkin Park developed under the earlier names Xero and Hybrid Theory before releasing the album Hybrid Theory in 2000. The lineup associated with that debut included Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington, whose performances helped establish songs such as One Step Closer, Crawling and In the End. Later projects ranged from Meteora to A Thousand Suns and One More Light. After Bennington's death in 2017 and an extended pause, the band returned with From Zero, introducing Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain in a new recording phase.

About this artist collection

The retained band identity is eligible through actual annual rows. Mike Shinoda solo work, Jay-Z collaborations, remixed albums, demos and live performances remain distinct. The 2024 recording is the later band lineup, not a recreated Chester Bennington performance.

First released means the earliest documented official public release of the selected recording. A year-only date does not assert a month or day. Later singles, chart years, compilations, remasters and reissues do not replace that date.
