Longest Number One Song
The longest number one song, counted in weeks, to be on top of the billboard hits is the song “One Sweet Day” by the illustrious Mariah Carey and the popular group Boyz II Men.
Released in 1995 and written by Mariah Carey, Walter Afanasieff and the boys of Boyz II Men themselves, the song hit the top of the charts and stayed there for 16 weeks at the number one spot – the longest time for any song to be on that throne.
The song talks about love and taking the ones we love for granted, loss and having the chance to see them again in heaven.
Although the song revolves on that thought, it was actually inspired by those who suffer AIDS, which was a prevalent epidemic that time.
