Just for some interest…And my another one of my facts:
- In Australia, Minutes to Midnight has gone Platinum, according to ARIA charts, which means it has sold 70000+ copies – Congrats crew!
- Apparently in the USA, Minutes to Midnight has gone Platinum too, selling over 1,000,000 copies (Still to be verified though)!
When you consider these figures in this day and age of music, that’s an awesome feat for a band to achieve. Congratulations Linkin Park!
Oh I’ll give you one more fact I suppose.
Apparently, as this is the way they always did it, Linkin Park was somewhat oblivious to the fact that when they recorded their music, it was much like what a rap group recorded, in that first the tune is done, and then the lyrics are laid over the top to match the tune, and lyrics can be swapped constantly between songs. Rick Rubin did mention this in one of their first meetings that it was probably why alot of their music had the stereotypical Rap/Rock vibe.
Food for thought…

Comment by Koza June 17, 2007 @ 6:19 amOh come one guys. I’m sure everyone has friends who are LP fans. Let them in so we can start this shit already!
Comment by Koza June 17, 2007 @ 7:57 amHey Emcee, not that ur a bit more “in the know”, do you know if there is an actuall prize or just the membership to the LPA thing?
Comment by Mitch June 17, 2007 @ 8:51 amyeh man whats our prize and lets get this show on the road!!!
Comment by Edison June 17, 2007 @ 11:54 amkeep in mind that lp sold that many records in just about ONE MONTH
Comment by linkin0827 June 17, 2007 @ 1:14 pmlinkin0827, that is true. Even more of an amazing feat when you factor that in.
Comment by EmceeMaster June 18, 2007 @ 1:37 amAnd people, I do know that if you don’t get all the beta spots registered, then it will be a little longer until you know the prizes.
I will tell you that it will be blatently obvious when all the beta spots have been used up (Like it will probably tell you when you submit the form)
You will know the prizes in due time. I will attempt to find out for you. Lets tentatively say the end of the week (as Friday morning is my last exam)
Can’t wait ’til these codes are all found.
Comment by Mixtape June 18, 2007 @ 2:01 amKoza seems very eager to get this over and done with.
http://www.forfeitthegame.com has a similar list, but with A LOT more countries on it.
Comment by linkin0827 June 18, 2007 @ 4:54 amGrrr I’m getting of tired of waiting. I’ve gotten a few of my friends in who are big LP fans so thats a few down. Emcee, do you have an exact number on how many Beta’s we need for all the spots to be taken up?
Comment by Koza June 18, 2007 @ 8:52 amKoza, Everyone, Just keep trying to get everyone and anyone signed up to beta.
I will stress this again…I do have an education to get – I’m paying enough money for it so like I said above, you can expect some progress around midday this FRIDAY!
Until then, I will advise you that people WILL KNOW when there has been enough users signed up to beta (The submission tool will tell you so)
Now: That being said….People to make Beta – Yourself (Check), Your fellow LP-fan-friends (Check), Your family (Check), People who like free stuff and music in general (NOT CHECK)…There are some ideas for more betas.
Comment by EmceeMaster June 18, 2007 @ 9:29 amYeah I’ve only been helping my friends who are Linkin Park fans. Why would they want to be in anyway if they weren’t lol
Good luck on your exams Emcee and i look forward to Monday!
