Curtain Call: The Hits is the first greatest hits album by American rapper Eminem. It compiles his most popular songs, as well as four new tracks, including a live version of "Stan" featuring Elton John from the 43rd Grammy Awards, and new songs "Fack," "When I'm Gone," and "Shake That" featuring Nate Dogg. The album was released on December 6, 2005, under Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. It became certified double-platinum in the US, triple-platinum in Australia and the UK, and quadruple-platinum in New Zealand. It reached number one on several charts, including the UK and US Albums Chart.
The deluxe version of the album included a second CD, Stan's Mixtape, which is a collection of Stanley Mitchell's favorites from Eminem, D12, and other artists such as Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G. The CD was produced on classic industrial CD's with only a few changes (the logos printed at the top of the disc).
It would later be followed by a sequel, Curtain Call 2 (2022), which covers Relapse through Music to Be Murdered By.
