	"Numb" on YouTube

"Numb" is a song by American rock band Linkin Park. It was released as the third single from their second studio album, Meteora (2003), and is the closing track on the album. One of Linkin Park's most well-known and critically acclaimed songs, "Numb" topped the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart for 12 weeks in 2003 and 2004.^[10] The song also spent three weeks atop the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song was remixed as "Numb/Encore", a collaboration between the band and American rapper Jay-Z. It was a massive hit for both artists that was featured on the extended play Collision Course and earned them the Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. "Numb" was ranked number 95 on Rhapsody's list of the "Top 100 Tracks of the Decade".^[11]

On March 15, 2022, "Numb" became the second song by the band after "In the End" to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify.^[12]^[13]

Music video

Directed by band member Joe Hahn, the "Numb" music video was filmed in June 2003^{[failed verification]} in Prague and features scenes in Johannes Kepler Grammar School (Gymnázium Jana Keplera),^{[failed verification]} and the famed Charles Bridge.^[14] The band's performance section was filmed afterwards in the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, due to vocalist Chester Bennington suffering from severe abdominal and back pains at the time.^[15]^[14] The final video was released alongside the single in early September 2003.^[16]

The video's plot follows a day in the life of an outcast teenage girl, portrayed by Briana Evigan, interspersed with scenes of Linkin Park performing the song in a cathedral. The girl, an aspiring artist, is shunned and ridiculed by her mother, teachers, and peers. She is shown with self-inflicted cut marks on her arms that spell out "NUMB". At the song's climax, she throws paint at a canvas in anger, then runs into the cathedral that Linkin Park were performing the song in as if she heard them, only to find that they have disappeared.

In November 2018, "Numb" became Linkin Park's first music video to reach over one billion views on their YouTube channel as well as the first song released in the 2000's to do so.^[17] In March 2023, the video was remastered in 4K resolution. In June 2023, "Numb" became the first song by the band to surpass two billion views, and currently holds the title of the most viewed rock video on YouTube.^[18]

Commercial performance

The track became one of Linkin Park's most critically acclaimed songs^{[citation needed]}, as well as one of their most commercially successful. It peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on February 24, 2004, spending 3 weeks on top of the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and 12 weeks on top of the Modern Rock Tracks chart. "Numb" was the 33rd best-performing single on the Billboard Hot 100 during 2004 and was listed at number 15 in the alternative songs decade-end chart. As of June 2014, the song had sold 2,036,000 copies in the US.^[19]

The song was also successful in Oceania, peaking at number 10 in Australia and number 13 in New Zealand. "Numb" is Linkin Park's longest-running single in France, spending 23 weeks on the chart, peaking at number 19; it was also successful in Greece, topping the singles chart. However, it only ranked for one week in Italy and on the Belgian Singles Chart.^[20]

The song re-entered the charts in July 2017 after the death of Chester Bennington, together with "In the End" and the band's new song "Heavy".

In late 2023, for the 35th anniversary of Modern Rock Tracks (since renamed Alternative Airplay), Billboard ranked "Numb" as the 59th-biggest hit in the chart's history.^[21]^[22]
