"'''Every Day Is Exactly the Same'''" (also known as '''''[[Halo numbers|Halo 21]]''''') is the third [[single (music)|single]] by [[United States|American]] [[industrial rock]] band [[Nine Inch Nails]] from their album ''[[With Teeth]]''. It is the twenty-first official [[Nine Inch Nails]] release. The commercial single was released on [[April 4]], [[2006]] as an [[Extended play|EP]]. It was also billed as the companion [[remix]] disc to ''[[With Teeth]]'', much to the chagrin of Trent Reznor.
The song is featured in the 2008 [[Timur Bekmambetov]]-directed film ''[[Wanted (film)|Wanted]]''.
The radio single reached #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock singles chart in the [[Modern Rock Tracks]] category and #12 in the [[Mainstream Rock Tracks]] category. The song also reached number one on the [[Canadian Singles Chart]], and received a nomination for ''Best Hard Rock Performance'' at the 49th annual Grammy Awards.<ref>{{cite web

==Video==
According to [http://www.nin.com/thespiral/ The Spiral], the [[music video]] for "Every Day Is Exactly the Same", directed by [[Francis Lawrence]], was canceled in post-production. An image of a [[clapperboard]] and in the background what appeared to be [[water tank]] with tubes appeared on the official website, but was later taken down. It is the first Nine Inch Nails single not to have a video.
There is also a studio cut video for the song. The video seems to be set in the area where
the video for "The Hand That Feeds" was filmed. It can be seen on [[Beside You In Time]].
==Critical reception==
[[Allmusic]] gave a generally favorable review of the EP, describing its various remixes as "actually better than the original versions". Allmusic described the "Sam Fog vs. Carlos D Mix" of "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" as "sleekly ominous", and concluded that the track rendered "NIN's increasingly claustrophobic, insular music sound fresh again".<ref>{{cite web
