Originally posted by M!X I really don't know I LOVE her discography and this song is so bad and boring, there are at least 15 of her singles that deserved those 16 weeks @ #1 instead.

Do you live there? How can you know?
If it was forgotten as you are trying so hard to make it seem, it wouldn't have 20 million streams on Spotify and 60 million views on YouTube. I bet a good percentage of those are from the US and some people in here love to label Mariah as a local artist. Who understands you people in here?

Originally posted by Costa Its not. Its a big song and not forgotten at all. Especially not in the R&B world. But you prob dont know anything about that since youre stanning for the most white act in the freaking world. Now get the **** out >

Originally posted by Squall I'm not surprised. I read she got most of her #1s by manipulating the charts back in the 90s.

And so do many pop girls nowadays by having radio deals, Spotify payola and releasing remixes to push the original songs.

Originally posted by Shinning It's super forgotten though, I don't know anyone that knows it.

Disown everyone you know.

Originally posted by Squall Who are you even talking about? Playing the race card for what reason exactly? iTunes Top 1000: NC Youtube: 60,000 views a day WW Spotify: 20 million WW (even Always Be My Baby has the double with 40 million) I'm sorry but according to the RECEIPTS, it's forgotten.

We're discussing US stats and chart peaks here, not worldwide ones. Stay on topic. It still holds the record for most weeks atop, deal.

Originally posted by Squall So? The fact it's awful even WW means a lot for the US since the numbers must be even smaller, what a dumb logic.

It is a 90s song. What do you expect? Younger generations only listen to what's hot and current, they don't care about old songs at all. One Sweet Day was huge in airplay back then and it was huge in physical sales as well. It sold 2+ million singles in the US during its run in the Hot 100 and that's how it managed to stay atop.

Originally posted by Squall A lot of 1990 songs do WAY better, and they didn't stay at #1 for 16 weeks, stop the excuses already.

They're better to you, stop the bitterness, deal with it and move on.

Originally posted by Darren Lots of heavily discounted singles. She was the Katy Perry of the '90s.

Originally posted by Squall I said they were doing better, what the hell are you even saying?

I thought you were saying they were better. Still, the other two sentences apply.

The fax is not the only way Columbia helped push "One Sweet Day" to No. 1, where it has remained for nine weeks. The label also encouraged a rush of sales in the early weeks by giving out free copies to stores reporting to Soundscan or by offering them four singles for the price of one. Stores could then put "One Sweet Day" on sale for 49 to 99 cents, more than $2 below the average price of a single. This has become a common practice for promoting high-priority releases.
