"It's Been Awhile" [sic] is a single from 2001 off the album Break the Cycle by the alternative metal band Staind. The song is probably the band's best-known song, becoming a #5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, their only song to reach the pop Top 10. The song spent a second-best 20 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart (behind only "Loser" by 3 Doors Down) and a then-record 16 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, beaten in 2007 by Foo Fighters with "The Pretender". The song is stylistically different from the other tracks on the album, which are Nu metal/Alternative metal songs and is considered by many critics and fans to be the first sign of Staind's transition from a nu metal to post-grunge band which would evolve on the band's next three albums.
