It's something I'd say is totally out of left field. And no, not Jolson.

I'd guess "The Jolson Story".  I had one so it must have sold a lot.

You'd have thought Oklahoma as I did. Nope, Oklahoma is 9-6. Bearing in
mind
that these all probably came out in one batch, you'd still expect one
of
their
biggest sellers to have the first number.  But noooooo!

Next guess?

My guesses: Oklahoma or a Bing Crosby album. After all, Columbia's
first
pop 10" LP was Sinatra.

When Decca began issuing album sets on 45s in 1949, their second box
set
was
"Manhattan Tower", a steady seller since 1946. Anyone know what was
the
first,
i.e. album 9-1? The answer may surprise you.
