It's not because it was never known outside the US in the first place that it's not forgotten there.

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

How is it forgotten? It's a classic song. You and the people you associate with are probably too young.

Talent always stays on top.

I didn't know it existed until I joined atrl.

Must have listened to it twice. Both acts have much better material.

How is it a classic when no one mentions it/it's getting 0 airplay/not charting anywhere?

Diversity

Seriously, I'm not trolling. I'm 26 and I had never heard of it.

Was only when someone said it was the longest-charting No.1 that I heard of it. It's not even worthy let's be real.

Title should be Why did not How did. Sorry Lambs.

[sadnews]

it had huge airplay and I heard there was dumping. a dollor for single cd.

[Beatz]

One of the biggest songs of the 90s beautiful lyrics as well.

No one knows that song, and especially outside the US. For example, it's UNKNOWN in France, is that so hard to deal with it?

Doesn't it take like 2k to go #1 in France?

How do people not know this song. I hear it at karaoke every time I go out to sing. Everyone sings along and it makes you just want to ball your eyes out. Do you guys literally spend all your time on this cite? I live in the Country Music Meca, but songs that are always played/song are:

1. Living on a Prayer
2. I'll make love to you
3. Dance with Somebody
4. One Sweet Day
5. Like A Prayer.

You literally cannot come for those songs as not being remembered.

Edit: Wait, someone coming for the song being 26 and I'm 22. You were actually 5 when this song was popular with me being 1. You should have known this song before ATRL when I was hearing it play right after Who let the Dogs Out.

What does it even have to do with it?

[Darren]

Part of what helped it is that it debuted at #1, I'm pretty sure

[Feetree]

Talent.

But as a lamb even I would say I don't use this song 💀 it is so boring

Clock the hater.

I also know a couple of "hits" by his favorite singer that are not known in my country but we are not discussing charts from my country here, we're talking about Hot 100.

[Mezter]

Idk. That is too long

[superben]

Timing and radio.

Its sales is not that great compared to its charting position.

It doesn't change the fact it's forgotten in the US though.

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.
