Great article written about a wonderful song. As you mentioned Jason, "White Christmas" is the best selling single ever, but it also has the distinction of being the only single to top the Billboard Hot 100 on three separate occasions. It was #1 in 1942, '45, and '46. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for sharing that information! I love little facts like that. Guess I missed it.

Well, you and I are probably the only two guys in the United States researching daily trivia on such a deep level. I had compiled a fair amount of notes when my gut told me that you were doing the same, especially since your page has a Christian angle to it, and the song is White Christmas. Funny how sometimes you just get a gut feeling and it turns out to be correct. LOL Loved your article!

Wait...you mean that someone other than Bing Crosby recorded "White Christmas"?! I'm kidding, of course, but honestly, even if I've heard someone else's recording, I have no idea who it might have been. For this song, there's only Bing.

I think of it like a favorite pair of jeans. Other jeans are nice. Some fit well. But none of them feel quite as perfect as that favorite pair.
