On December 15, Glenn Miller was killed when his plane crashed in the English Channel on the way to a USO show in France. His death is generally considered to be the end of the swing era. In early 1945, the music business was still highly profitable despite the government-imposed paper shortage due to the war. After the war, a combination of factors such as demographic changes and rapid inflation made large bands unprofitable, so popular music in the United States was dominated by traditional pop and pop singers as well as bebop and jump blues bands, including Salt Peanuts by Dizzy Gillespie and The Honeydripper by Joe Liggins , Caldonia by Louis Jordan and Who Threw the Whiskey in the Well by Lucky Millinder and His Orchestra with Wynonie Harris as singer.

For the music industry, the beginning of the post-war period brought the unknown effects of television and new recordings with it. The changes in public taste led to the end of numerous big bands in the 1940s. The chart winners were no longer the big orchestras of the Dorsey brothers , Benny Goodman , Harry James or Artie Shaw , but vocalists such as Bing Crosby with “Don't Fence Me In” (together with the Andrew Sisters ), who in turn “ Rum and Coca Cola "were successful, furthermore Doris Day (" Sentimental Journey "), Johnny Mercer & The Pied Pipers (" On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe "), Perry Como (" 'Till the End of Time ") ), Sammy Kaye ("Chickery Chick"), Doris Day & Les Brown ("My Dreams Are Getting Better All The Time") and Dick Haymes and Helen Forrest in a duet with "I'll Buy That Dream". In 1945 Billboard first published an album chart.
