"257 Weeks" by Nine Days

Nine Days was one of many post-grunge bands gaining attention in the late 90s. They scored a major label debut and big hit in 2000 with "Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)." The track went to #6, but this promising band from New York failed to land another hit. Their second single, "If I Am," stalled at #68.

To be fair, Nine Days might have become more than a one-hit wonder if the record label never dropped the ball. The band's follow-up record, "So Happily Unsatisfied" was constantly delayed and poorly promoted. It's a shame, because it is filled with great songs like "Marvelous," "The Joneses," and "Don't Look Back."

"257 Weeks" is from their landmark 2000 effort, "The Maddening Crowd." A terrific slice of pop rock, this one could have helped the band become a permanent fixture on radio in the naughts.
