<P> Chester Bennington said this about the success of the single in an interview with MTV on February 7, 2011: </P> <P> It took two years for us to make that record, and it took that whole process for us to really digest the new music, so we knew that it was going to take people time to really let it settle...And' Waiting for the End' is a perfect example of that...it's taken it a while for it to elevate up the charts, and it went to No. 1 at the Alternative charts, and then kinda went back, and then went back to #1...People are getting it now . And I think, especially for our fans in the States, it was important for it to marinate for a little while before we came back and started playing these shows . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> <H3> Weekly charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2010--2011) </Th> <Th> Peak position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Austrian Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Belgium Flanders Ultratip </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canadian Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 55 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Czech Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> German Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 29 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Japan Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Polish Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 48 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Slovakia Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 64 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Swiss Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 58 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> UK Singles Top 100 </Td> <Td> 90 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 42 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Rock Songs </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Alternative Songs </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks </Td> <Td> 37 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Pop Songs </Td> <Td> 21 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Adult Pop Songs </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> <Td> <H3> Year - end charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2011) </Th> <Th> Position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Alternative Songs </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Rock Songs </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Td> <H3> Weekly charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2010--2011) </Th> <Th> Peak position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Austrian Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Belgium Flanders Ultratip </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canadian Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 55 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Czech Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> German Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 29 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Japan Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 34 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Polish Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 48 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Slovakia Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 64 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Swiss Singles Chart </Td> <Td> 58 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> UK Singles Top 100 </Td> <Td> 90 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 42 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Rock Songs </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Alternative Songs </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks </Td> <Td> 37 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Pop Songs </Td> <Td> 21 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Adult Pop Songs </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> <Td> <H3> Year - end charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2011) </Th> <Th> Position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Alternative Songs </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Rock Songs </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr>
