Linkin Park finally returned to the recording studios in 2006 to work on new material. Despite initially stating the album would debut sometime in 2006, the album was pushed off to 2007.[33] The band recorded nearly thirty to fifty songs in August of 2006, when Shinoda stated the album was halfway completed.[34] Bennington later added that the new album would stray away from their previous nu-metal sound.[35] Warner Bros. Records officially announced that the band’s third studio album, entitled Minutes to Midnight, would be released on May 15, 2007 in the United States.[36] After spending fourteen months working on album, the band opted to further refine their album by removing five of the original seventeen tracks.[33] Minutes to Midnight sold over 600,000 copies in its first week, making it one of the most successful debut week albums in recent years. The album also captured the top spot on the Billboard Charts.[9]
The albums first single, What I've Done was released on April 2, and later premiered on MTV and Fuse within the same week.[37] The single was acclaimed by listeners, reaching the Billboard Hot 100 days after its debut, and later was the top ranked song on the Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.[38] Billboard has reported that two other singles, Given Up and Shadow of the Day, are scheduled to be release later in the year.[39] However, such details have yet to be officially confirmed by the band. Bleed It Out was confirmed to be the second single from Minutes to Midnight[40], and will be released August 20, 2007. Linkin Park will release a Greatest Hits/Box Set album titled The Document On September 18, 2007.[citation needed]
