When Linkin Park released its greatest hits compilation, Papercuts – officially titled Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023) – fans of the group were thrilled to hear anything coming from the marquee rock act. The group had been on hiatus since the death of frontman Chester Bennington some years prior, and there had been no word about whether another chapter would ever take place.
What made Papercuts so special was not the inclusion of many of the band’s most famous hits, but several previously unreleased tunes, including “Friendly Fire” and “Qwerty.” Longtime followers had no idea at the time that the outfit’s comeback set From Zero would arrive before the end of the year.
Since it was unleashed, Papercuts has remained hugely successful, as it is the go-to project for most people who want to hear many of Linkin Park’s most celebrated cuts on streaming platforms. Papercuts once again appears in impressive positions on multiple charts in the United Kingdom, and it becomes another long-standing win for Linkin Park.
As of this frame, Papercuts has lived on the Official Albums chart, the U.K.’s ranking of the most consumed albums, compilations, and EPs in that country, for 104 weeks. That’s exactly two years, and it is a milestone the group has only seen once before.
Papercuts is the second release by Linkin Park to live on the most competitive albums roster across the pond for at least two years. The band’s debut full-length Hybrid Theory managed 194 stays on the 100-space roster, beginning in January 2001. Coincidentally, both Hybrid Theory and Papercuts peaked at No. 4.
Two other titles by Linkin Park have managed year-plus-long runs, though they are months away from making it to a triple-digit week-long stay. Meteora, which followed Hybrid Theory, held on for 67 periods, while Minutes to Midnight occupied one of the 100 slots for 53 weeks – just over a year.

Papercuts appears on a pair of rosters in the U.K., and it makes it to the same landmark on both of them at the same time. The compilation is Linkin Park’s first to reach 104 stays on the Official Albums Streaming chart, which looks only at the most-played collections on Spotify, Apple Music, and several other competitors.
For a project that has now been a charting success for two years, Papercuts is performing extremely well. The collection sits just outside the top 10 on the Official Albums Streaming chart, where it holds at No. 12. On the main list of the most consumed efforts, where both streams and sales matter, Papercuts climbs one peg to No. 18.
Papercuts is Linkin Park’s highest-rising set on some of the most important albums rosters in the U.K., but Hybrid Theory appears on a greater number of lists. That introductory studio LP, which changed the sound of rock music, improves on the Official Albums, Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and the Official Rock & Metal Albums charts.
Papercuts does not appear on the Official Rock & Metal Albums list, but three proper studio albums by Linkin Park do. As Hybrid Theory rockets to No. 5, Meteora improves its standing from No. 31 to No. 24. At the same time, From Zero breaks back in at No. 33.
