It achieved mainstream success with its debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2005.

Its following studio album, Meteora, continued the band’s success, topping the Billboard 200’s album charts in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world.

In 2003, MTV2 named Linkin Park the sixth greatest band of the music video era.
