Selections from Going My Way is a studio album of phonograph records by Bing Crosby released in late 1945 featuring songs that were presented in the American musical comedy-drama film Going My Way. This was the first release of one of Crosby's best songs throughout his career, "Swinging on a Star", on shellac disc record.
The album quickly went to the top of the Billboard Best-selling popular record albums chart in October 1945 and remained there for several weeks.
These newly issued songs were featured on a 3-disc, 78 rpm album set, Decca Album No. A-405.
