Yeah and none of her #1s (LFN got a 2nd week at #1, full price). Thank you for proving my point.

Remixes wise, same for the discount, the remix didn't help LFN's 2nd week at #1.
E.T.'s remix was the single version, not a remix released in order to get a #1 (and anyway she would have been #1 with or without Kanye).
Dark Horse was not a remix.

I mean, you guys are the one bringing my fave because you have nothing else to say and you even fail at doing it properly/knowing what you talk about.

EDIT: Not sure about the discount in LFN's 2nd week but still, it would be one #1 got with a discount, it still was #1 on radios.

Mariah + Boyz II Men separate slayages during the 90s and when come together, it was game over

The attempts in here to discredit the song

Ofc it doesn't get recurrent airplay now, it's a song for someone who passed away ffs! This vs a 90s dance bop, which one you'd think would get played radio today

This song was huge in Europe and South America as well tho.

The song was big enough during those 16 weeks at #1 over its competition:

Week 1: #1 Sales, #2 Radio
Week 2: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 3: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 4: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 5: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 6: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 7: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 8: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 9: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 10: #1 Sales, #1 Radio
Week 11: #1 Sales, #1 Radio

Week 12: #2 Sales, #1 Radio
The #2 song (Everything But The Girl, Missing) was #12 Sales, #2 on Radio

Week 13: #2 Sales, #1 Radio
The #2 song (Mary J. Blige, Not Gon' Cry) was #1 Sales, #36 on Radio

Week 14: #3 Sales, #1 Radio
The #2 song (Mary J. Blige, Not Gon' Cry) was #1 Sales, #25 on Radio

Week 15: #2 Sales, #2 Radio (Grammy performance effect)
The song that was at #2 (Brandy - Sittin' Up In My Room) was #3 on Sales and #9 on Radio.

Week 16: #4 Sales, #2 Radio
The song that was at #2 (Brandy - Sittin' Up In My Room) was #3 on Sales and #8 on Radio.

Ummmm almost half of those are not from the 2000's

It wasn't 75% airplay and 25% airplay until 1998/9

Before then it was 50% each I believe.

It was released in the fall.

If you notice even #1s from Bruno mars/Rihanna/Beyonce that went #1 for 10 weeks were released in the fall before the charts were frozen in January.

So if you could keep the song #1 through the holidays you'd have less competition in January because people rarely release at those times

See Uptown funk, irreplaceable, we found love, tik tok and other long standing #1s that started out in the fall

Well, it's a beautiful duro with the hottest artists at that moment Mimi and Boyz II Men, and songs about death always smash hard, it's incredible. But yeah, it had a crazy longevity on both sales and airplay. Very underrated smash.

Both Mariah and Boyz II Men were huge in the 90s + the song is amazing + great timing I think

2 of the biggest artists coming together to collaborate

while i love OSD, it is not as memorable as their other lesser hits - End of the Road, Fantasy, It's So Hard To Say Goodbye, Vision of Love, I'll Make Love To You, Hero, etc.
