Background

Although it has never been released as a single, it has charted on a few occasions when other Eminem albums have been released.[2] In 2012, it was certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling 2,000,000 copies in the United States.[3] This was followed by quintuple-platinum in 2018 and octuple-platinum in 2022.[3]

The song interpolates the 1977 song "We Will Rock You" by British rock band Queen; as a result, Brian May is credited as a songwriter.[4]

When Eminem's single "Shake That" (also featuring Nate Dogg) was released in 2006, several Eminem songs re-charted that same week, including "'Till I Collapse". It charted in the UK at number 192 on April 15, 2006.[2] In 2008, it appeared in HBO's series De La Hoya/Pacquiao 24/7.[5]

In 2009, it was used in an advertisement for the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. It raised digital download sales of the song worldwide considerably,[6] but in Britain the song sold so many copies after the ad aired that it re-charted that week (November 21, 2009) at number 73, a new peak. Major League Baseball pitcher Jesse Litsch used the song as his entrance music during the 2011 season.[7] Major League Baseball pitcher Justin Verlander uses the song as his entrance music.[8]
