On the latter, Linkin Park pulls into sole possession of the sixth-most top 10s in the chart\u2019s 35-year history. Foo Fighters lead with 30.<\/p>\n \n\tAs \u201cFriendly Fire\u201d was released Feb. 23, the song is also expected to appear on the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs ranking via its first-week streams and sales, in addition to its radio airplay.
