Days of Wine and Roses and Other TV Requests is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in April 1963 by Columbia Records.[3] It made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated April 20 of that year and remained on the album chart for 107 weeks, spending 16 consecutive weeks at number one.[4] The album received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America on September 19, 1963, becoming his first to do so, while his 1962 album Moon River and Other Great Movie Themes followed suit one month later.[5] For its release in the UK, the album was retitled Can't Get Used to Losing You and Other Requests, and it spent its only week on the album chart there at number 16 in 1965.[6][7]

The single from the album, "Can't Get Used to Losing You," made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on March 7, 1963, eventually spending four weeks at number two during its 15-week stay.[8] The single performed even better on the Easy Listening (or Adult Contemporary) chart, spending four weeks at number one.[9] Its B-side, "Days of Wine and Roses" reached number 26 on the Hot 100 and number nine, Easy Listening.

The album was released on compact disc for the first time (and under its UK title) by Sony Music Distribution in the mid-90s as tracks 1 through 12 on a pairing of two albums on one CD with tracks 13 through 24 consisting of Williams's Columbia album from October 1967, Love, Andy.[10] It was also released (under its original title) as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on January 16, 2001, the other album being Williams's Columbia album from December 1966, In the Arms of Love.[11]
