By David aka Dr. Bombay

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.
