On March 16th, 1996, Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day" spent its 16th and final week atop the Billboard Hot 100, wrapping the longest reign for any title in the chart's history.
The song's success was hardly surprising, given Carey and Boyz II Men's track records in the '90s. It became Carey's 10th No. 1 (of 18 total) and Boyz II Men's fourth (of five). The song had already passed the prior-record 14-week commands of two titles: Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You." (Three songs have since also led for 14 weeks each, including Carey's "We Belong Together," in 2005.)
