Linkin Park The Catalyst Review: Fitting for the game

Alternative rock band Linkin Park – who have won two Grammy Awards and sold over 50 million albums worldwide – chose a completely different way of releasing their new single “The Catalyst” recently, by debuting it via a video game trailer.

According to an article at thaindian.com by Madhuri Dey, “The Catalyst,” which is the first single from the band’s highly-anticipated new album “A Thousand Suns,” was recently released in the trailer for the upcoming video game “Medal of Honor,” for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

The actual trailer for the video game – due out on October 12th – has been directed by Linkin Park band member Joe Hahn. Linkin Park’s bassist David “Phoenix” Farrell said that the song has a few dark undertones to it, and believes that the track is rather fitting to the game.

Linkin Park Edges Out Trey Songz for Top Spot on Album Chart

Linkin Park and the R&B singer Trey Songz lead a wave of new releases on the latest Billboard album chart as the music industry gears up for its all-important fall sales season.

Linkin Park notches its fourth No. 1 with “A Thousand Suns” (Warner Brothers). It sold 241,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, just a hair more than the 240,000 copies Trey Songz had for his new “Passion, Pain & Pleasure” (Songbook/Atlantic). It was the best sales week of Trey Songz’s four-album career but far from Linkin Park’s best; its last record, “Minutes to Midnight,” had 623,000 in its first week out in 2007.

Eminem’s hit “Recovery” (Aftermath/Interscope) sold 89,000 copies to land at No. 3, but much of the rest of the top 10 this week is new. the country singer Jamey Johnson is No. 4 with 63,000 sales of his two-CD set “The Guitar Song” (Mercury Nashville); Robert Plant is No. 5 with “Band of Joy” (Rounder), which sold 49,000; Weezer’s “Hurley” (Epitaph) is No. 6 with 45,000; and Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of the Killers, sold 41,000 copies of his first solo album, “Flamingo” (Island), to reach No. 8.

Several artists, including Eminem, got sales boosts after appearing on MTV’s Video Music Awards last week. the most notable might be the British band Florence and the Machine, whose debut album, “Lungs” (Island), jumped 30 slots to No. 14 on the current chart, with 21,000 sales, a 165 percent increase over what it sold the week before.
