The Rising Tied is the debut album of hip hop ensemble Fort Minor, the side project by Linkin Park rapper Mike Shinoda. The album was released on November 22, 2005 (see 2005 in music) through Linkin Park's Warner Bros. Records imprint label Machine Shop Recordings. The Rising Tied was produced by Shinoda and executive-produced by Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. The Rising Tied charted and peaked at #51 on the Billboard 200 chart. Promotional music videos have been filmed for the songs "Remember the Name," "Petrified", "Believe Me", and "Where'd You Go." As of 2008, the only song that has garnered much mainstream success and airplay is "Where'd You Go". "Remember The Name" was used by Turner Network Television as the theme for the 2006-2007 NBA playoffs, and achieved success among Alternative hip-hop fans and competitive athletes.[citation needed] Despite the low peak, the album has managed to hold on, selling 250,000 copies in the USA and 400,000 copies worldwide.
