Every Second Counts, the fourth studio album from Plain White T's, arrived on September 12, 2006, and it's the sound of a band that spent its early years winning over Chicago basements, clubs and bars stepping up to a bigger room. It was their first release through Hollywood Records, working alongside Fearless Records, and the pop rock inside is built for the jump: bright guitars, sticky hooks and heart-on-sleeve choruses from the group that high school friends Tom Higgenson and Dave Tirio had started in Lombard, Illinois, back in 1997.
The title comes from a line in "Let Me Take You There", and the snotty "Hate (I Really Don't Like You)" is the one rock radio grabbed hold of. The album climbed to number ten on the Billboard 200, then just kept moving copies until the RIAA finally certified it platinum in March 2025.
