If you turned on the radio 25 years ago, there's a great chance you would hear this Billboard Chart #1 song from 1996:
"One Sweet Day" - Mariah Carey (feat. Boyz II Men)
This song was #1 for a record sixteen weeks on the Billboard Charts. "One Sweet Day" held that record from 1996 to 2017 when Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" took over. "Despacito" was then dethroned in 2019 by Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road".
Movies from January of 1996:
"Dead Man Walking" - Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon
