If I Ever Fall in Love


"If I Ever Fall in Love" is a song by American R&B-soul quartet Shai. The song reached number two in the US in 1992, and peaked at number one on the US R&B chart. Its eight weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, which was held off from the top slot due to the massive success of "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, meant that it held the record for the second-most weeks at number two in the chart's history at the time, behind Foreigner's "Waiting for a Girl Like You". The record has since been equalled and surpassed, and "If I Ever Fall in Love" is now in joint ninth place with a number of more recent songs.
The song was also their only Top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at number 36.
