The emotional ballad—which was released on Nov. 14, 1995, as the second single from the pop songstress' album Daydream, and told the tale of grieving lost loved ones—debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed put for 16 weeks, from Dec. 2, 1995, to March 16, 1996, making history at the time as the longest-running Hot 100 No. 1 ever. In total, "One Sweet Day" spent 27 weeks on the Billboard chart.
The 16-week record stood untouched for nearly 25 years until broken by Luis Fonsi's reggaeton smash hit "Despacito" in 2017.
Other longest-leading Billboard Hot 100 chart toppers include Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" featuring Billy Ray Cyrus (2019) and Shaboozey’s 2024-released “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” each notching 19 weeks, Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” at 14 weeks, and Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road” with 13 weeks. "(Songs began logging longer No. 1 stays after the Hot 100 adopted electronically tracked data, according to Luminate, in late 1991)," per Billboard.
