On May 29, 1942, Bing Crosby recorded "White Christmas", the world's best-selling single with an estimated 100 million copies sold worldwide. I remember the song being on a jukebox in Germany my first Christmas overseas. From the article:

"His version of “White Christmas,” written by Irving Berlin, remains the bestselling recording of all time with The Guinness Book of World Records reporting worldwide sales of over 50 million singles. Total estimated sales of the song are near 100 million. “White Christmas” has entered the American pop charts 20 separate times and reached the No. 1 spot three times, in 1942, 1945 and 1947."
