The single initially failed to chart in 2005.

Despite numerous low peaks in different charts, the song was used extensively in the media, particularly at sports events, and eventually received a Platinum certification by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] in 2009 and by the [[British Phonographic Industry]] in 2024. In 2018 the RIAA certified the song 4× Platinum.

==Background==
"Remember the Name" was leaked onto the [[Internet]] on August 20, 2005, several months prior to the album's release. The song brought positive reviews from the [[hip hop]] community. It was also planned to be the first single from ''[[The Rising Tied]]'' but this changed just before the album came onto the shelves. Eventually, "Petrified" and "Remember the Name" were released together in one vinyl, CD or digital download in October 5, 2005.

==Music video==
The music video directed by [[Kimo Proudfoot]] is simplistic; it shows Mike Shinoda and Tak/[[Takbir Bashir]] and Ryu/Ryan Maginn of [[Styles of Beyond]] walking around in a bar. Ryu is noticeably wearing an official [[Jay-Z]] t-shirt (Jay-Z is an [[executive producer]] to ''The Rising Tied'').
The music video, directed by [[Kimo Proudfoot]], shows the song's three vocalists, Mike Shinoda and hip-hop group [[Styles of Beyond]] members [[Takbir Bashir]] and Ryan Maginn, walking around a bar. The video has [[cameo appearances]] from [[Chester Bennington]], [[Brad Delson]], and [[Rob Bourdon]] of [[Linkin Park]], singer [[Skylar Grey|Holly Brook]], [[Rob Dyrdek]] and [[Christopher Boykin|Christopher "Big Black" Boykin]] of MTV's ''[[Rob & Big]]'', [[DJ Cheapshot]] and Vin Skully of Styles of Beyond, and rapper Sixx John.

Numerous [[cameo appearances]] appear in the video. Many [[Linkin Park]] bandmates of Shinoda appear: lead vocalist [[Chester Bennington]] is seen at the end of Shinoda's first verse playing [[pinball]] and shakes his hand; [[Machine Shop Recordings]] [[A&R]] and guitarist [[Brad Delson]] can be seen during Tak's first verse; and drummer Rob Bourdon appears during the last chorus at a bar when Tak goes to get a drink. [[Skylar Grey|Holly Brook]], who is a featured artist on "[[Where'd You Go (Fort Minor song)|Where'd You Go]]", another song by Fort Minor, also makes an appearance, leaning on the wall during verse. [[Rob Dyrdek]] and [[Christopher Boykin|Christopher "Big Black" Boykin]] of MTV's ''[[Rob & Big]]'' can be seen at the end of the video right after Shinoda's last verse.
