Formed in 1996, Linkin Park rose to international fame with their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory (2000), which became certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Released during the peak of the nu metal scene, the album's singles' heavy airplay on MTV led the singles "One Step Closer", "Crawling" and "In the End" all to chart highly on the US Mainstream Rock chart. The lattermost also crossed over to the nation's Billboard Hot 100. Their second album, Meteora (2003), continued the band's success. The band explored experimental sounds on their third album, Minutes to Midnight (2007). By the end of the decade, Linkin Park was among the most successful and popular rock acts.
The band continued to explore a wider variation of musical types on their fourth album, A Thousand Suns (2010), layering their music with more electronic sounds. The band's fifth album, Living Things (2012), combined musical elements from all of their previous records. Their sixth album, The Hunting Party (2014), returned to a heavier rock sound, and their seventh album, One More Light (2017), was a substantially more pop-oriented record. Linkin Park went on a hiatus when longtime lead vocalist Bennington died in July 2017. In April 2022, Shinoda revealed the band was neither working on new music nor planning on touring for the foreseeable future.
Linkin Park is among the best-selling bands of the 21st century and the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 100 million records worldwide. They have won two Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, 10 MTV Europe Music Awards and three World Music Awards. In 2003, MTV2 named Linkin Park the sixth-greatest band of the music video era and the third-best of the new millennium. Billboard ranked Linkin Park No. 19 on the Best Artists of the Decade list. In 2012, the band was voted as the greatest artist of the 2000s in a Bracket Madness poll on VH1. In 2014, the band was declared as "The Biggest Rock Band in the World Right Now" by Kerrang!.

26 Lettaz In Da Alphabet
Linkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was trying to figure out how many letters was in the alphabet
It took me all day, but you know I did it
You wanna know how many letters there are?
26 letters in the alphabet!
26 letters in the alphabet
I wear a shower cap so I don't get wet
And go to the floor with Ernie and Bert
When I'm on the floor, I'm singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
When I'm on the floor, I'm singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
I got lots of friends, so I don't need pets
26 letters in the alphabet
Ernie got wasted and Bert went flat
They got kicked out and they can't come back
So they're standing outside, singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Yeah, they're standing outside, singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Yeah, you know they outside
Do the Ernie (Who's inside?)
Do the Bert (Who's outside?)
Shake your milky (Who's upside?)
Chocolate shirt (Who's downside?)
Do the Ernie (Who's inside?)
Do the Bert (Who's outside?)
Shake your milky (Who's upside?)

Man, I didn't know I was so smart...my brain hurts
My brain hurts!
The lyrics to Linkin Park's "26 Lettaz In Da Alphabet" are nonsensical but catchy. The song begins with the singer discussing his accomplishment of determining that there are 26 letters in the alphabet. He then goes on to describe mundane tasks such as wearing a shower cap and shoes to protect himself, and going to the floor with characters from Sesame Street. The chorus features the singer singing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," a word from the movie Mary Poppins, while dancing on the floor with his friends.
The second verse is a bit more chaotic, with Ernie and Bert from Sesame Street getting kicked out from the floor and singing outside. The rest of the lyrics consist of various instructions for a dance, such as "Do the Ernie" and "Shake your milky chocolate shirt." The song ends with the singer remarking at how smart he is for figuring out the alphabet, while also noting that his brain hurts.
Overall, the lyrics can be interpreted as a playful and nonsensical celebration of childhood and nostalgia. The use of characters from Sesame Street and Mary Poppins emphasizes a sense of carefree fun and innocence, while the various dance instructions create a sense of unity and camaraderie among the friends on the floor.

Some said that In The End, Numb and What I've Done are Linkin Park's best songs. Clearly, those people never heard of this masterpiece before.
