Record labels rejected Linkin Park again and again.

They said the music was too strange, too emotional, and would never find a mainstream audience.

Then came Hybrid Theory.

Featuring “In the End,” “Crawling,” “One Step Closer,” and “Papercut,” the album became one of the best-selling debuts of the 21st century, selling more than 30 million copies worldwide.

More than two decades later, its impact can still be heard across rock, metal, and alternative music.
