"Sweet" added its final and, until this week unmatched, 16th week at No. 1 on March 16, 1996.

truly vile, cant believe america let this happen.

[Dominic]

but one song was successful bc people had to actually go to the store and buy it rather than streaming it for free so we all know who wins

[RileyH]

mess

[reece(:]

[lewis111]

I feel like In people's minds the record is still Mariah's
Like you just know that One Sweet Day is the longest running number 1 for some reason - you just know
Hardly anyone is talking about Despacito tying the record

[Wizard.]

Not worthy!

[Withano]

Only one of those have that achievement on sales alone. Some only one of those count imo.

[LukeB]

At least she won't lose it because Taylor will stop them

[Smithy]

Honestly I'm not even mad bc OSD is one of Mariahs weakest songs imo

[Littlegreen]

Shouldn't be allowed to happen, tbh.

Mariah's record meant something and was a huge achievement.

She only stayed so long because of Boyz II Men

Talent won ? best song of all time

[Shaun]

tbh One Sweet Day isn't that good a song either so no loss

[Jamie89]

I mean our longest running #1 is Bryan Adams so it's not as if it really says that much anyway tbh

[LeatherTrumpet]

it just shows you that the lumpenproletariat have no taste and are vile plebs
