The following is a compilation of the number one songs (in the U.S.)
that were played on the day a Bewitched episode originally aired
as listed here.
Of course, some of the songs were #1 for several weeks. The longest
record for a song during the run of Bewitched was "Hey Jude"
by The Beatles during the first part of season five. The Supremes had
seven different songs appear on this bewitching chart. One song had
its run of number one broken up by the Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations."
That was "Winchester Cathedral," which was number one for three weeks
during the third season.
There were two bands from television shows that had number ones
during Bewitched's run and they were the Monkees and the Partridge
Family. The same television studio, Screen Gems, produced these two
musical shows as well as Bewitched. Speaking of the Monkees,
it should be noted that "Last Train to Clarksville" was written by Boyce
& Hart who appeared as themselves in #192
of Bewitched. They sang Serena's composition "I'll Blow You a
Kiss in the Wind" at the Cosmos Cotillion making it a number one in
the witch world. Samantha, as Serena, also had another number one hit
with "Iffin, Iffin" from the fourth season. Also of note for I Dream
of Jeannie fans is the number one song from the beginning of season
five, "Harper Valley PTA" sung by Jeannie C. Riley. Barbara Eden, who
played Jeannie, went on to star in the television show named after this
song.
