Ranking All 35 Billboard #1 Singles 1976. 35 singles hit #1 in 1976- what a mediocre bunch- it was very hard to rank them. A handful stood out but I am certain that If I were to rank my 200 favorite songs ever-none of these #1’s would get any consideration for that list. It wasn’t a poor year overall.
