Linkin Park Makes An Impressive Debut On The World Charts with LIVING THINGS

Fuck yeah Australia. Certified Gold already.

Just to you know, LIVING THINGS peaked at #1 on iTunes here in Australia.

 

Wow it was very close. Glad I bought my album

 

Absolutely delighted. Well done LP and of course the fans!

 

So, it sold 235k copies only in America, it sold much more worldwide, right?

 

strange, i thought that it was 2th in Italy

EDIT: http://www.apple.com/euro/itunes/charts/top10albums.html

 

Just like ATS, Living Things enters the charts at #4 in Flanders (Belgium).
ATS did better in its second week reaching #2 so there's still a chance that Living Things will reach #1 in Belgium, fingers crossed!


@Derek The Infamous or @Mark:

Your list about Belgium is not complete. You actually should divide Belgium into two parts. Other language = other charts...
- Flanders (dutch speaking): LT at #4, source: http://www.ultratop.be/nl/weekchart.asp?cat=a
- Wallonia (french speaking): LT at #3, source: http://www.ultratop.be/fr/weekchart.asp?cat=a

 

Doesn't this mean that the final first week sales of LIVING THINGS would have to include the above value for physical sales plus whatever the digital sales were?
And wouldn't that mean that LT outsold ATS (cause im assuming there were more than 6000 digital sales).

...or am I missing something?

 

Congrats to the band!!

I don't know but I think the apple link is a little bit off. It doesn't even show Overexposed by M5.

This one is more accurate to me:

And we still are #1 in iTunes worldwide sales

LT reach #2 in iTunes Brazil

Edit: Today's list http://kworb.net/itunes/linkinpark.html

 

in India..its a Vh1 big hit so far..and burn it down is 1st on top10single list i think

 

YAAAAAAAAAY

Cradle, don't forget your promise.

By the way, DEREK U STOLE ME JOB

 

LP is #11 on Spotify

Good to see them doing well.

 

235,000 is just USA, right? It sold more worldwide?

 

The main post has all the numbers...take a look!!!

 

Yep, that 235k quantity is US only. The fact that it sold that many years after A Thousand Suns should mean that it outperformed it IMO. As the years progress, fewer and fewer people pay for music so it's pretty astonishing that they debuted with that big a number in the US.

Does anyone remember if A Thousand Suns went gold in its first week in Australia?

 

I did. I just wanted to make sure what I think is right.

Well done, LP! Really proud to see this

 

It will be great this week when I open Billboard and see my favourite band on top.
