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 | url = http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/49th_Show/list.aspx | title = 49th Annual Grammy Awards Nominee List | publisher = The Recording Academy | date = [[2006-12-07]] | accessdate = 2006-12-07 }}</ref> Though a planned music video was scrapped in the post-production stage,<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.theninhotline.net/news/archives/backissue.php?y=06&m=4#1144942551 | title = EDIETS Video to Air TODAY on MTV! | publisher = The NIN Hotline | date = [[2006-04-13]] | accessdate = 2008-01-10 }}</ref> "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" still topped [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'s 2006 year-end [[Hot Dance Singles Sales]] chart, it has so far spent 94 weeks on the chart.<ref> {{cite web | url = http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/yearend/2006/charts/dsl_singl.jsp | title = Billboard 2006 Year in Music | publisher = ''Billboard'' | date = [[2006-12-17]] | accessdate = 2006-12-17}}</ref> ==Track listing== All songs by [[Trent Reznor]]. ===U.S. CD EP=== <!-- Interscope(?) catalog # here --> # "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" – 4:57 # "[[The Hand That Feeds]]" ([[DFA Records|DFA]] Mix) – 9:03 # "The Hand That Feeds" ([[Photek]] Straight Mix) – 7:47 # "[[Only (Nine Inch Nails song)|Only]]" ([[El-Producto|El-P]] Mix) – 4:22 # "Only" ([[Richard X]] Mix) – 7:25 # "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" ([[Sam Fogarino|Sam Fog]] vs. [[Carlos Dengler|Carlos D]] Mix) – 5:03 ===Japan CD EP=== <!-- Record label name & catalog # here --> # "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" – 4:57 # "[[The Hand That Feeds]]" ([[DFA Records|DFA]] Mix) – 9:03 # "The Hand That Feeds" ([[Photek]] Straight Mix) – 7:47 # "[[Only (Nine Inch Nails song)|Only]]" ([[El-Producto|El-P]] Mix) – 4:22 # "Only" ([[Richard X]] Mix) – 7:25 # "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" ([[Sam Fogarino|Sam Fog]] vs. [[Carlos Dengler|Carlos D]] Mix) – 5:03 # "The Hand That Feeds" (Photek Dub Mix) – 7:52 # "Love Is Not Enough" (Live at Rehearsals) – 3:51 ===Promo 12"=== (Remixes By Sam Fog And Carlos D.

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 | url = http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:dpftxqudldfe~T00 | publisher = [[Allmusic]] | title = Every Day Is Exactly the Same EP > Overview | accessdate = 2008-07-10 | first = Stephen Thomas | last = Erlewine}}</ref> [[Pitchfork Media]] was not as positive towards the last mix, however, labeling it as the most disappointing track on the release and calling it "cold and ordinary".<ref name="Pitchfork review">{{cite web | url = http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/20397/Nine_Inch_Nails_Every_Day_Is_Exactly_the_Same_EP | title = Every Day is Exactly the Same EP | publisher = [[Pitchfork Media]] | first = David | last = Raposa | date = [[2006-04-10]] | accessdate = 2008-07-10}}</ref> Pitchfork was more positive towards the other tracks however, labeling the El-P mix as "a harrowing (and somewhat cloying) experience" and concluding of the DFA mix that "the treatment works beautifully."<ref name="Pitchfork review" /> ==Chart positions== {| class="wikitable" !
