Crosby’s biggest musical hit was his recording of Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” which he introduced through a 1941 Christmas-season radio broadcast and the movie Holiday Inn. Bing’s recording hit the charts on 3 October 1942, and rose to #1 on 31 October, where it stayed for 11 weeks. In the following years Bing’s recording hit the top-30 pop charts another 16 times, even topping the charts again in 1945 and January of ‘47. The song remains Bing’s best-selling recording, and the best-selling single and best selling song of all time . In 1998 after a long absence, his 1947 version hit the charts in Britain, and as of 2006 remains the North American holiday-season standard. According to Guinness World Records, Bing Crosby’s White Christmas has “sold over 100 million copies around the world, with at least 50 million sales as singles.”
