Maybe because they actually released the acapellas and instrumentals? Other albums also have remixes but some songs are tougher to do because multitracks and acapellas are hard to find in good quality. At least that's my guess.
If you're talking official commissions, each of Linkin Park's studio albums to date have generated a good amount of remixes ... except for "Meteora" and "Midnight". There are far fewer official remixes of songs from those albums than from the others. Overall, though, whether or not resources for creating remixes were commercially released wouldn't matter.
Yeah. New Divide is when LP got some new fans cause of Transformers. But Numb, What I've done and In The End are catching up in views. My disappointment was in Waiting for the End. An amazing song and perhaps the best video the band has had for a song. I used to follow the chart since I wanted to know how BID was doing and the song actually held on for quite sometime. BID always stayed around the 30 to 40 mark for weeks. Maroon 5 song was dominating the itunes but when that song went down, eventually, BID was still around the 40s mark.
Despite BID peaking at #8 and ALTNC peaking so far at #17, it's ratio is still better since as of this posting it has only dropped 10 spots in a week, which was better than BID at this time. I just have a feeling that it will fair a little better in the long run.
i mean just like the burning in the skies single and video the Castle of glass single and video we know those songs and videos because we are die hard fans but those got zero impact outside the fanbase but it all makes sense, just remeber what mike said some months ago they rather be associated as an underground related band again than going in the mainstream flow, with the gaga/taylor/kanye now, what i mean is that with all the global aperture to the indie, they need to be a lot more creative they need more punch because out here we have a lot of talent right here at our lpassociation dont believe me???? then answer what separetes the burn it down (RAC remix) from the burn it down (some guy remix) or the ALTNC(lot of remixes) coming soon almost nothing only the name/person behind the remix (the fame in other words) what i mean is just look the reliving things album a great compilation of remixes profesional produced it went unnoticed because the large amount of living things remixes out there i invite you to compare it with recharged in octuber and i bet you that recharged wont be so different please, dont misunderstand me again i fully support LP but i am a demanding fan ALTNC is good but they can do better songs and to go with the thread better single releases (about content)
You think COG video had zero impact? 52+ MILLION views in less than a year, OVER The Catalyst which has 49M and 3 years of age. CASTLE OF GLASS had its first few million views in just a couple of days and we all here saw it was doing amazingly well for being a bit folky song. And that wasn't "just the fanbase" SMH.
I'm not 100% sure how this ^ works into the context of your argument but I think you misunderstood what Shinoda said a little bit. He did not express a desire for Linkin Park to be "underground" but said that the band likes where they are now; Linkin Park are up there, so to speak, but they're not so high as to spark trending topics, and they're more than comfortable with that. Nonetheless, the band will obviously always want their music do as well as it can. On the whole, the official "Living Things" remixes are definitely not getting anywhere near the amount of attention that "A Light That Never Comes" is getting. There is absolutely no reason to believe that they are, and hardly any reason to actually compare them in the first place. "Reliving" was put together and released by only a small group of Linkin Park fans, essentially for fun. Nobody expected it to match any official Linkin Park release at all in terms of how many Linkin Park fans it could reach. Even in this day and age, that idea is simply ridiculous. In terms of sales and video view counts, I personally think that "Recharged" has a good chance of living up to "Living Things" but, obviously, we'll have to wait and see. There is no "large amount" of "Living Things" remixes unless you want to dive into the world of unofficial works. If you want to go into whether or not "Reliving" has been sufficiently "noticed" among those, then, I ask: what is your baseline for that? And, in any case, it's irrelevant to what you're trying to argue, unless you seriously believe that the success of "A Light That Never Comes" as a single could be diminished by the existence of unofficial remixes of Linkin Park songs. Definitely not. There was crossover with the "Medal Of Honor" fans.
ok i think im using the wrong word change noticeable/impact for transendence despite the million of views some song/video gets what really matters is to transend
I'm not sure how much it makes sense if we're talking about how big ALTNC is when it has only been out for one week. Anyway, talking about charts, I noticed that newer LP singles have been practically unnoticed in the UK while especially in Germany LP singles seem to be more popular than ever. I really wonder why.
