I'd rather they be consistent on the issue tbh, 3 songs per artist maximum no matter the circumstances is better than the OCC picking and choosing when to relax the rules and when to strictly enforce them.

In The End is one of those iconic tracks most would assume went #1 or at least top 3 with ease. #8 is astonishing.

and looking at that week's chart, I'd say it's more remembered than most of the songs that were ahead that week. Perhaps moreso than everything except for Kylie.

I think "In The End" was the 4th single from the "Hybrid Theory" album so by then a lot of people would have bought the album instead, if streaming was around back then, it's possible that it might have peaked higher.

 

I grew up listening to Linkin Park, they were HUGE back in the day, when I was at school I just remember everyone was listening to the "Hybrid Theory" album. "Crawling" was always a favourite of mine.

Oh yeah forgot about the 3 track rule - it should really be for each album but I'm pretty sure it's per artist.

I hope that they relax the new rule for LP, it would be a fitting tribute to have some songs re-enter without the cap

Not really moreso than Hey Baby or Chain Reaction/One For Sorrow

the Linkin Park effect on iTunes! has been much much bigger than I expected... by comparison there was barely any effect when Chris Cornell died... and let's not forget the small effect for George Michael, only 1 song going top 10, Careless Whisper peaking at #10 for a couple hours

I think the George Michael death effect would've been a lot bigger had it not coincided with gift card week.

Indeed, but let's not forget that George Michael died during one of the busiest weeks possible, with gift card effects in full swing, so his songs will have made less of an impact on the charts than if he had died during the summer months. Still, a huge achievement for LP, still in shock.

 

Edit: someone beat me to it :P

I think it was the timing that George passed plus the fact he has had several huge greatest hits albums previously and people went for those rather than individual tracks.

 

I guess Linkin Park were more currently relevant? They just completed a UK tour and their new album was released 8 weeks ago.

14. Enrique Iglesias - SÚBEME LA RADIO (REMIX) [feat. Sean Paul & Matt Terry]

'Castle of Glass' now top 100 :wub:

 

I think his death has had much more of an impact due to Linkin Park being many of this generations "first". Whether that's first metal group they got into, first album they ever brought and the fact their songs stand alone as genuine millenial classics. He was literally the voice of a generation. They managed to stay relevant even with changing their sound a couple of times.

Sorry to ask again but does anyone know how the ENRIQUE song will be credited by the OCC. as the 3 versions on iTunes have different featured artists

no one knows for sure until we see it on their website, but I imagine it'll be credited to the Spanglish remix (Sean Paul/Matt Terry) or to just Enrique.

I think the other band of the same era who'd have the same impact if one of the members passed would be blink-182 - the pair of them were everyone's favourites (unless you hated anything with a guitar!)

What about Green Day? They were certainly the biggest band of my childhood anyway, if Billy Joe Armstrong were to pass that'd be a huge upset to many I imagine.

I was about to say, Green Day would definitely be up there

Fair shout actually.

Ah those were the good old chart days of the held back release. Unlike now when "Donda low, donda low, donda low, I said bum bum and then we bum bum" or whatever it is that Daddy Yankee says can get a song to #1 for a tediously long amount of time.

 

The chart looked so much fresher back then compared to now.

We're just in that era and at that generation now tbh. I'd say the same for Muse too!
