"Numb/Encore" is a Grammy Award-winning song by nu metal band Linkin Park and rapper Jay-Z from their 2004 mash-up album Collision Course.
It was also released as a single that year, combining the Jay-Z song "Encore" (taken from his 2003 album The Black Album) and the Linkin Park song "Numb" (taken from their 2003 album Meteora). It was the only single from Collision Course to become widespread.
In the UK Singles Chart, the single broke the record by staying the longest in the top 20 without ever reaching the top 10. The video for the mash-up was nominated for the MTV VMA Viewer's Choice award in late July 2005. "Numb/Encore" won Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the Grammy Awards of 2006. The show featured a performance of the song, during which Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance and came onto the stage to perform a duet with Chester Bennington of The Beatles' song "Yesterday," which McCartney wrote. "Yesterday" replaced "Numb" after the first rap verse of the mash-up.
