Bing Crosby had many hit songs but one of which was the song "Only Forever". If you are looking for how many hit songs he had during the 1940's I really have no clue but I would look around.
The song was first a hit by Chauncey Olcott in 1914. It was included in Bing Crosby's movie GOING MY WAY, where he sang it to a weary Father Fitzgibbon. Bing recorded the song for Decca on July 7, 1944. It quickly became another million seller for Bing and aspent 12 weeks on the Billboard charts in 1944, reaching as high as #4. For reasons unkown, Bing Crosby re-recorded the song on July 17, 1945. Both versions appear on the MCA CD "TOP O' THE MORNING: BING CROSBY'S IRISH COLLECTION."

There's many songs that celebrate the Christmas holiday. But, unless the record chart history has changed, there's only 1 Christmas song that hit #1 on the charts. That would be pop artist Bing Crosby, with the song "White Christmas." Bing introduced the song to the world by singing it in the movie, "Holiday Inn," back in 1942. Now, many artists in various fields of music, including country, have release Christmas music. Many have been hits on various charts. But, I don't know of anybody that has passed Bing Crosby, in having a Christmas single to hit #1 on any chart ~ including the country charts.
