Hybrid Theory is an album by nu metal band Linkin Park, released on October 24, 2000 (see 2000 in music). The album was the best-seller of the year 2001 in the United States, and was one of the most popular of the early-2000s hip hop/metal (rapcore) bands like Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock. Hybrid Theory is certified 10x Platinum in the US by RIAA. It is also the 21st century's highest selling debut album selling 14 million albums worldwide. It is notable for its absence of profanity, in contrast to many other nu metal bands' songs.
The name Hybrid Theory was originally that of the band. After a copyright issue with a British band named Hybrid, it was changed to Lincoln Park then Linkin Park. Hybrid Theory was kept as the album title.
