With Motion City Soundtrack for a Winter/Spring tour. "Hey There Delilah" was first released on their second album "All That We Needed". This was only released on the Hey There Delilah EP - a compilation of b-sides, a live recording, plus music videos. In addition, Hollywood Records also signed the band in 2006 and they began recording the album, Every Second Counts. The album was released in September, and was preceded by the first single, "Hate (I Really Don't Like You)", and was their first single to chart on the US Billboard charts.
Hollywood Records re-released "Hey There Delilah" on Every Second Counts in late spring 2007. On July 28, 2007, "Hey There Delilah" became the group's first #1 in the US for two weeks running. After re-releases, the group also claimed the #1 in Canada and Germany, followed soon after with top 5 positions in Austria, Ireland, Belgium, United Kingdom and Australia and hitting the top 10 in Sweden, World singles, Dutch singles, New Zealand and Swiss singles.
Shortly after their commercial break-through, the band released a third single off Every Second Counts, "Our Time Now" on November 6, 2007 in US and Canada. The band appeared in the third episode of the first season of ABC Family's GRΣΣK performing the songs "Our Time Now" and "Hey There Delilah". They also appeared on the 11th episode of the first season of Nickelodeon's iCarly, performing "Our Time Now". They appeared on 'The Young Wild Things' tour, along with Fall Out Boy, Cute Is What We Aim For and Gym Class Heroes, to promote their new single. "Making a Memory" was featured in a scene from the 2008 flick Prom Night. "Making A Memory" was played for the departing scenes of Katy Fox (Hannah Tointon) in Hollyoaks, soon leading to lots of request for the name of the song on the Official Hollyoaks Forum.[What is that song?!?!? - Topic Powered by eve community]
