Worldwide the album has sold more than 7 million copies, making it the best selling Extended play Worldwide. == Overview == Due to its short running time at 19:95, with six tracks in total included on the disc, the release has been identified as an EP. All of the tracks included are mashups combining songs by both artists. The DVD contains behind-the-scenes new footage of the making of the album, as well as the second take of all of the Collision Course songs at The Roxy Theatre on July 18, 2004.
