According to Guinness World Records, “White Christmas” is not only the best-selling single in history but also one of the most covered. Here are the ten best versions
Just a few weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Bing Crosby publicly broadcast “White Christmas” for the first time. After playing the track on his radio show, it became an immediate symbol of a simpler, safer time — an emblem of Christmas that may or may not have ever existed but one that many of us, even now, desperately cling to.
Composed by Irving Berlin in 1941 and recorded by Crosby in an 18-minute session, “White Christmas” was part of a broader trend in the so-called golden era of songwriting, when prosaic topics were treated perspicuously and rendered into plainly expressed refrains. There’s hardly a simpler sentiment than wishing someone a Merry Christmas — a bright Christmas, a white Christmas — and it’s one that has been repeated a record-breaking number of times.
