From Linkin Park’s debut album Hybrid Theory, “In The End” blends Mike Shinoda’s rap verses with Chester Bennington’s emotionally charged vocals in a way few songs have ever matched.
Released as a single in 2001, it quickly became one of the band’s biggest hits, climbing all the way to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. More than two decades later, “In The End” remains one of the defining anthems of 2000s rock, one of those songs people still turn to when they need to feel something, whether it’s anger, melancholy, or just pure nostalgia.

The track became No Doubt's first major U.S. hit (#23 on the Billboard Hot 100) and helped Tragic Kingdom sell over 16 million copies worldwide.
