Nine Days are an American rock band from Long Island, New York who landed one sunny, indelible hit at the turn of the millennium. "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)", released in 2000, was a bright, hook-laden piece of power pop with a chorus almost everyone of a certain age can still sing, and it became a major radio hit and their lasting calling card.
The band kept recording for their fans, but the wider pop audience moved on quickly, and no other single came close to that breakthrough.
On streaming, "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" sits near 182 million plays, and one of their other top entries is an alternate version of the same song. Their next distinct track trails far behind. That sends the ratio above 11, far past our 5.0 line.
By our measure Nine Days are a certified one-hit wonder. Theirs is a classic turn-of-the-millennium pop-rock story: a band who connected with one impossibly catchy single that became a fixture of the radio, then settled into the working-band life as the spotlight faded, leaving that single bright song standing far ahead of everything else they made.
