"One Sweet Day" now holds the record for the longest running song at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 with 16 weeks and continues to hold it. Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" became the first single to debut at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 and holds the Guinness World Record as the first song in the 37-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 to debut at number one.
