    Here are the chart positions for "Meteora", "Numb" and "Faint" on the Billboard charts for the week of December 19th - 25th;

    <div align=center>
    Billboard Top 200 Albums Charts
    "Meteora" - #23 (Last Week - #32)
    "Live In Texas" - #46 (Last Week - #51)
    Billboard Modern Rock Charts
    "Numb" - #1 (Last Week - #1)
    "Faint" - #14 (Last Week - #14)
    Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts
    "Numb" - #1 (Last Week - #2)
    Billboard Hot 100 Singles Charts
    "Numb" - #24 (Last Week - #27)
    </div>

    Christmas sales have proven to be effective for Linkin Park this holiday season. "Meteora" jumped nine huge spots to #23 and "Live In Texas" re-entered the top fifty at #46 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums charts. "Numb" is enjoying it's seventh straight week atop the Modern Rock charts as "Faint" also stalled at #14. "Numb" is also number one on the Mainstream Rock charts after jumping one spot from #2 and also leapt three spots to #24 on the Hot 100 Singles charts.

    In other news, "Live In Texas" is now gold. The RIAA recently certified the live CD/DVD as a gold album, signifying shipments 500,000 units. It has taken only five weeks to complete this task. Congratulations, Linkin Park!

    <span style='color:red'>Good news but...

    I'm not trying to take away from the Good News but an album being certified, has nothing to do with sales. It's based 100% on shipments (to music retailers) [ex. Madonna's "American Life" album is certified Platinum but only sold around 600k]. I've been tracking sales for "Live in Texas" and it has sold between 300-375k so far, but I do think it will sell over 500k by the time "Meteora" is done.</span>

    That's true.

    P.O.D.'s new album, Payable On Death, hasn't even sold 600,000 copies and the RIAA has certified it platinum. It's all based on shipments, not sales.

    That's why RIAA needs a new system.

    I can't help but Agree with you, I mean it really amazing when an artist can sell 3 million albums but be Certified 5x Platinum b/c they've got 2 million sitting on the store shelves collecting dust.

    Another thing that's kinda un-related is Double-Cd's, they get twice the Certification b/c there are 2 discs! It's not like the buyer has a choice, they have to take both but Outkast (6x Platinum) and Shania Twain (10x Platinum = Diamond) are really abusing the system. Especially Outkast they've only sold around 2 million units.

    They're not letting Linkin Park cheat w/ Meteora & Live In Texas with the bonus discs included or anyone else who releases a bonus disc, so it's not cool.
