American rock band Linkin Park has released eight studio albums, four live albums, four compilation albums, two remix albums, two soundtrack albums, 4 video albums and 28 extended plays. Linkin Park was formed in Agoura Hills, California, in 1996 by Mike Shinoda (vocals, keyboards, samplers and guitars), Brad Delson (guitar), and Rob Bourdon (drums). Joe Hahn (turntables) and Dave Farrell (bass) were later recruited, and in 1999, Chester Bennington (lead vocals) became a member, staying with the band until his death in 2017. Before Bennington joined the band, Mark Wakefield was their lead singer.
Linkin Park rose to international fame in 2000 with their debut album Hybrid Theory, which peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200. It was the seventh best-selling album of the 2000s, and certified Diamond in US and quadruple platinum in Europe. The fourth single from the album, "In the End", peaked at the second spot on the Billboard Hot 100 (the highest of Linkin Park's career), and stayed on the chart for 38 weeks. With first-week sales of 810,000, Linkin Park's second album Meteora (2003) entered the Billboard 200 at number one, becoming the third-best-selling album of the year.
In 2007, their third studio album, Minutes to Midnight, also debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200, selling 623,000 copies in its first week. A Thousand Suns (2010) became Linkin Park's third studio album to debut at the top of the Billboard 200, but its first-week sales were less than half of its predecessor—240,000 copies. Living Things followed in 2012, selling 223,000 copies in its first week and becoming the band's fourth studio album to debut at number one. The Hunting Party (2014) was their first album since Meteora not to debut at number one, debuting at number three, while One More Light (2017) peaked atop the chart and was the last album to be released before frontman Chester Bennington's sudden death in July 2017 and Rob Bourdon's departure in 2023. The band's eighth studio album From Zero was announced on September 5, 2024, and was released on November 15, 2024, with vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain subsequently replacing Bennington and Bourdon respectively.
Linkin Park has sold 70 million albums and 30 million singles worldwide, as well as selling over 29.4 million albums in their home country alone. The band has produced fourteen number-one singles on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, and is the second-ever act to have at least ten weeks with three or more tracks on that chart. Two of these singles, "Crawling" and "Numb/Encore", earned the band two Grammy Awards. Linkin Park Underground, the band's official fan club, annually released EPs with rare tracks, demos, live recordings and remixes until 2017. Since Chester Bennington's death in July 2017, the band has not put together an LPU release.
