These are my personal top 76 singles of those that peaked on the Billboard charts in 1976.  The list is solely my opinion.  Using Joel Whitburn's book, Pop Annual 1955-1999, I started with the 527 singles that charted on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 chart in 1976. An initial pass through that list narrowed it down to about 140 tunes.  The list was then narrowed to 95, then listening, ranking, and editing began.  The top 76 are presented here, in order.
