Linkin Park are certain to repeat the success of their last album and once again debut at number one atop the US chart later this week.
Hitsdailydouble.com is predicting sales of between 250-260k for the first week of the Rick Rubin produced ‘A Thousand Suns’ album.
The site also points out that their last Linkin Park record, ‘Minutes To Midnight’ from 2007, sold 623k in week one.
‘A Thousand Suns’ is the forth album for Linkin Park. It is a concept album about nuclear war. The title came from Hindu Sanskri text Bhagvad Gita “If riddance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like splendor of the mighty one”.
The first Linkin Park album ‘Hybrid Theory’ was released in 2000. It has sold more than 10 million copies in the USA.
The band released the second record ‘Meteora’ in 2003 and third ‘Minutes To Midnight’ in 2007.
