Hall of Fame by The Script feat. will.i.am is featured in All or Nothing, the twenty-second and final episode of Season Four. It is sung by the New Directions, with solos from Artie, Jake, Joe, Ryder, and Sam.
Before the New Directions take the stage, the group, including Santana, Kurt, Mike, and Mercedes, has a show circle in The Choir Room. This is the first song to be sung in the New Direction's Regionals Setlist. The boys lead the song as the girls assist with back-up. At the end of the song, the girls leave the stage, leaving the boys to sing the final notes as the next song, I Love It, is led by the girls.

Trivia
- Blaine is the only New Directions Boy without a solo part. Since season 2, Darren Criss had been requesting to have fewer solos as he believed the show was being over-saturated with Blaine songs, and he didn't think this was fair to other characters and cast members.
- This song has the final solo by Joe, since he left New Directions after Regionals.
- This is the second performance led by the New Directions Boys that's performed as part of a competition. The first one was Man in the Mirror in Hold on to Sixteen.
