The song, which served as the lead single from the band’s 2003 sophomore album Meteora, opens at No. 193 on this week’s Billboard Global 200. The chart ranks the most-consumed songs worldwide using a combination of streaming and sales data, underscoring the continued international appeal of the Grammy-winning rock group.
Released at a time when expectations for Linkin Park were exceptionally high, Meteora followed the massive success of Hybrid Theory, an album that helped push nu-metal into the mainstream and produced enduring hits such as “One Step Closer,” “Crawling,” and “In the End.” “Somewhere I Belong” was unveiled just weeks before Meteora arrived, setting the tone for an era that would further cement the band’s global status.
With the debut of “Somewhere I Belong,” Linkin Park earns its 18th entry on the Billboard Global 200. The band last appeared on the chart less than a year ago with “Up From the Bottom,” a track from the deluxe edition of From Zero, which briefly peaked at No. 58 in April 2025.
Although its No. 193 debut represents the lowest peak of any Linkin Park song on the Global 200 to date—surpassing “One Step Closer,” which previously held that distinction at No. 184—the chart appearance highlights sustained listener interest in the band’s early material.
Linkin Park currently occupies three positions on the Billboard Global 200. Alongside “Somewhere I Belong,” long-running hits “In the End” and “Numb” posted notable gains, each climbing more than 20 spots week over week to settle at Nos. 78 and 124, respectively.
Those two songs are also charting on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. list, which measures worldwide performance excluding the United States. On that ranking, “In the End” stands at No. 84, while “Numb” jumps 25 positions to No. 135, reflecting strong international streaming activity.
The resurgence extends beyond global charts. “Somewhere I Belong” also reached a new peak on Billboard’s Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart in the U.S., rising to No. 8 in its 26th week on the list. Linkin Park dominates that tally as well, placing three songs simultaneously: “In the End” remains at No. 2, “Numb” moves up to No. 7, and “Somewhere I Belong” follows closely behind.
Taken together, the chart activity points to a broader revival of interest in Linkin Park’s catalog, as longtime fans and new listeners alike continue to stream and rediscover the band’s formative work more than two decades after its release.
