CSPC: Linkin Park Popularity Analysis

Physical Singles Sales

As with every other rock band, Linkin Park hardly relied on physical singles sales. This became even truer with this format quickly collapsing after the group’s debut. All in all, the band sold over 3 million physical singles.

As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 3 to 1 ratio between one album and one physical single.
