Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men - One Sweet Day (A Cappella - Official Audio)

[@karlzarate]

THIS WILL STILL BE LONGEST #1 SONG IN THE MUSIC HISTORY. #Timeless Despacito & Old Town Road can never....

[@diegotorresperez7569]

Truth!

[@ajhornell]

Those two songs only got popular because of internet clout and memes. This song stayed #1 without any of that simply because it's literally the most relatable song in existence. We all have had someone who has passed on or will someday soon that we all hope we'll see again.

[@fervidamidthedandelions3405]

@@andrese9805 That's not what the article you linked is saying. What it is saying is that Columbia engaged in normal record selling practices that all the major record labels were doing at the time, yet OSD bested all the other major singles releases then meaning what exactly? That despite the fierce competition, the public liked OSD better than the other reduced-priced singles. Here's the last part of the article that sums it up nicely "One thing that Soundscan has proven is that you can fake it some of the way up the chart but you can't fake it all the way ... [u]ltimately, if the record doesn't work with people, no matter how much you pervert the figures it doesn't matter. What these things can only do is help expose a record. From that point on, it's up to the public to decide."

Queen of harmonizing. Mark of a TRUE MUSICIAN. This is better than the regular version with all the instruments, in my opinion.🦋💖🇵🇭

Period

[@zoev930]

Boys to men are actually the ones harmonizing. She sings the lead note. BUT I agree, sounds way better than the radio version 😍

[@lancejamesbeyotch]

Definitely prefer the Acapella version.

[@lancejamesbeyotch]

The counterpoint with a sub-melody as a harmony is brilliant. Similar to broadway musicals but obviously not exactly.

[@jujub4553]

Still the longest running #1. I don’t even count that other song that “fake knocked out” Mariah’s record. Mariah’s record was achieved when music was real and people had to call into radio stations and actually go to stores to buy cassette tape and cd singles. None of this “most digital streams” bs. We all know Mariah is the record setting queen.

@@jasonjoven4184 at one point, Sony was giving away OSD singles for free. They also placed OSD scan bars on old albums to pass them as Mariah's sales.

@@andrese9805 _I'll still say, sit down. So you copy a link which is a writers' opinion. Then you try and come for this song _*_One Sweet Day_*_ right here. Perhaps you weren't even alive when this song hit the air waves? And perhaps you didn't even go out to a record store to buy the CD, or CD single(s)? No matter, this song is a hit, and had staying power because it was/and still is the best music collaboration in music history. Come on, _*_BoyzIIMen & Mariah Carey!_*_ BTW, a music trend is 'collectively'. The song OSD was requested by the listening public(you can't fake that), bought by the listening public(you can't fake that either). What confuses me the most is Mariah has had a stellar career for thirty years! Honestly, if you weren't listening to her album _*_Daydream_*_ when it released, then you wouldn't understand._

This song makes me think of my sweet, beautiful, loving mama. I lost her in 2020 to a massive stroke. It also, reminds me of my 1st husband. He was a great man and loved me till the day he passed away in 2016 of a seizure behind the wheel of his truck

[@germanshepherd5314]

I bought this CD single when it came out and this version became my favorite. The original EP is the album version, Sweet Acapella version (voices not mixed as loud with some light instrumentation in the background), this Acapella version, the live version and another track that escapes my mind right now. Not sure if this Acapella version was done at the same time but surprised this was not the version released for the single. Boys II Men are on point all through this (as is Mariah) and it was the perfect mix to also have shot up the charts like the album version.

[@jamesanthonyfoley]

I believe track 4 was 'Chucky's Remix' and 5 was 'Live version' and track 6 was Famtasy (Def Drums Mix)

@@jamesanthonyfoley I need to pull it off the shelf, I forgot the Chucky mix but need to double check the B-Side. The two Acapella versions (one with barely any instrumentation and the other true Acapella and mixed hotter) Chucky version, album version and the live version from MTV. As for the so called B-Side song it escapes me
