Silent Night vs. White Christmas sales
Although it is recorded that Bing's versions of White Christmas and Silent Night are the 1st and 3rd best selling songs of all time on Wikipedia, I just heard some information about Silent Night that makes me wonder. I was just listening to a rerun of, what I believe to be, the 1971 Christmas version of American Top 40 and it was reported that Silent Night had sold 50 million copies, right where White Christmas is believed to be right now although there are reports of 100 million copies. Do they mean overall sales of the song in general with those larger numbers, or Bing's version(s) specifically.
