I heard on the radio that Toby Keith's Shoulda Been a Cowboy was the most played country song in the 90's.

Does that count?

One Sweet Day - Boyz 2 Men and Mariah Carey. They still hold the record for most weeks at number 1.

Damn. Never even heard of it. Seems like several other B2M songs might be candidates as well, as they are the biggest selling r and b act of all time I believe.

I have to say I haven't heard of any of these songs.
I have heard Wonderwall and Smells Like Teen Spirit. The latter is okay.
