LP M2M

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…
