Nine Days – “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” (2000)
“This is the story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world…”
“Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” appeared on Nine Days’ fourth studio album and gained significant commercial success, reaching the number six position on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching the top spot on the Mainstream Top 40. The tracks also reached number 83 on the UK Singles Chart.

Although the track was catchy, Nine Days never managed to achieve similar success with their subsequent albums. The band is reportedly still together today, but the last time they released an album was in 2016. John Hampson, the lead singer, is now an English teacher practicing at Long Island High School.
