Two ’90s powerhouse acts joined forces on “One Sweet Day” and made chart history. Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men released this emotional ballad in 1995 as a tribute to loved ones lost, blending Mariah’s soaring vocals with Boyz II Men’s lush harmonies. The heartfelt lyrics (“I know you’re shining down on me from heaven”) offered comfort to millions, and the song spent a record-breaking 16 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. “One Sweet Day” became a staple at memorials and tributes, uniting listeners in grief and hope. It remains one of the decade’s definitive ballads — a poignant reminder that love endures beyond goodbye.
