Linkin Park's 'Numb' Music Video Hits 1 Billion View Milestone on YouTube

Linkin Park's "Numb" is now part of the three comma club.  

The music video recently surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube. "Numb" is featured on the band’s 2003 album Meteora and features Chester Bennington on vocals. Since the singer's death last year, fans have made it a goal to hike the video's views up to 10 digits, and on Thursday (November 8) Linkin Park announced the achievement via Twitter. 

"Our music video for “Numb” just passed 1 BILLION views on @YouTube. Thank you for all the support over the years!" the tweet reads before directing fans to help the video garner even more views. At time of publication, "Numb" has amassed 1,001,030,597 views.

Check out the celebratory post below.

Bennington tragically took his own life over a year ago. The band's Mike Shinoda has talked openly about the band's future, saying he wouldn't be opposed to playing more Linkin Park shows. Right now, however, the producer/multi-instrumentalist is on the road supporting his solo album, Post Traumatic.

Over the summer, the surviving Linkin Park members shared a note to Bennington on the first anniversary of his death. The message reads:

To our brother Chester,

It has been a year since your passing — a surreal rotation of grief, heartbreak, refusal and recognition. And yet it [still] feels like you are close by, surrounding us with your memory and your light. Your one-of-a-kind spirit has authored an indelible imprint on our hearts — our jokes, our joy, and our tenderness. 

Eternally grateful for the love, life, and creative passion you shared with us and the world. We miss you more than words can express.

Love,

M, J, D, R, B
