Everyday is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Dave Matthews Band. It was released on February 27, 2001 through RCA Records. It is the band's first album to be produced by Glen Ballard, who also co-wrote all twelve of the album's songs with guitarist and vocalist Dave Matthews. The album marked a shift in the band's sound, prominently featuring electric guitar and concise pop arrangements.
Everyday was a commercial success, becoming the band's second number one album in the US. Three singles were released ("I Did It", "The Space Between", and "Everyday"), with "The Space Between" becoming the band's first top 40 hit in the US. Reviews were mixed to positive; some critics disliked the band's change in sound while others welcomed the more accessible material.




Background


In the summer of 2000, the band began sessions with longtime producer Steve Lillywhite for a new album. However, the dark nature of the recordings combined with a feeling of stagnation by the band members led to the sessions being abandoned. Matthews instead flew to Los Angeles to meet with Ballard with the intention of finishing the new material. Instead, Matthews and Ballard began a productive writing partnership that resulted in an album's worth of new songs in less than two weeks. This material ended up being included on Everyday instead, while most of the songs originally recorded with Lillywhite were re-recorded for Busted Stuff in 2002.




Critical reception



Initial critical response to Everyday was generally mixed to positive. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 67, based on 16 reviews.




Commercial performance


Everyday became the band's second album in a row to top the Billboard 200. The album has since been certified 3× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales exceeding 3,000,000 copies. It also became the band's first number one album in Canada.
"I Did It", the album's lead single, peaked at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was more successful on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart, where it peaked at number one for a week. The album's second single, "The Space Between", became the band's first top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at number 22. Like its predecessor, it also topped the Triple A chart for a week. The title track was released as the album's final single; despite failing to chart on the Hot 100, it topped the Triple A chart for eight weeks, the band's longest stay at the top of the chart until it was surpassed by "Funny the Way It Is" in 2009.
