(TeamRock Radio) Mike Shinoda has shrugged off the fact that Linkin Park's recent album The Hunting Party was their first since debut Hybrid Theory to miss the US No.1 spot.

It reached No.3 on its release in June, and made No.2 in the UK - but the mainman isn't downheartened. Shinoda tells the Pulse Of Radio: "Some friends of mine said, 'Sorry you guys didn't get to No.1 on the chart.' I said, 'I feel like the Billboard chart is for one thing: first-week album sales.

"This is not really a first-week sales kind of album; it's a statement album. It's meant to be taken to the stage, and that's exactly what we're planning to do."

The Hunting Party was created after Shinoda decided to harden up the band's sound. Read what he had to say here.
