American Top 40 Vault 1976 Part 2 (Size: 3.43 GB)
Description Whatever you were doing in 1976 and whoever you were doing it with (or to), these are the songs you were doing it to, presented by the host who played the hits from coast to coast , Casey Kasem! What I’VE been doing lately is working on other AT40 shows (actually, I'm trying not to turn my new gal into a computer widow), so these shows are from the Vault, meaning I haven’t had time to listen to all of them. This is what they look like before I “Rocketize” them, and I’m quite sure I will get back to them just because that’s what I do. I left out the January 3rd show as it was the second part of the 1975 year-end countdown. The only other show that is midssing is February 7th. And I thank you. [ ]--Original Date of Entry Into Top 40 ( )--Peak Position on Chart "Sit Around the House, get h**h and watch the tube" As America celebrated her 200th Birthday, Rock music fans celebrated 30 years of...television! Fueled by Mike Post's The Rockford Files in 1975, TV show themes lit up the charts in '76, with the Rhythm Heritage's Theme From S.W.A.T. and former Lovin' Spoonful's lead singer John Sebastian's Welcome Back (Theme to the popular show Welcome Back, Kotter) reaching number one. Other hit TV shows to have hit themes during the year in include Baretta (Baretta's Theme-Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow by Rhythm Heritage), the Theme to Laverne and Shirley, and the Theme to Happy Days. Arguably, other songs sported a sound similar to TV show themes, as this seemed to be the trend in 1976. The 2-Million Selling Man: On April 22, Johnnie Taylor's Disco Lady became the first single ever to sell 2 million copies! On May 1, it was the first single to be certified Platinum, an award created on January 1, 1976. It turned out to be Taylor's only number one hit (for 4 weeks), but what a hit it was! Frampton Comes Alive...Instantly: One of the most remarkable stories of '76 was the nearly instantaneous rise to fame of English star Peter Frampton with the release of his live album Frampton Comes Alive in the United States. Previously little known in the U.S., Frampton became an overnight sensation with his live album, as it quickly rose to the top of the album chart and went on to be the number one album of the year. Frampton sold out concert after concert and achieved a level of success in one year that most Rock artists never see! This Year's the Year for Rod Stewart: Rod Stewart's mega-hit Tonight's the Night became the story of the decade following its run at number one. Its 8-week stay at the top of Billboard's Hot 100 made it the 1970's number one song up to that point. It was also the most weeks any single had spent at number one since the Beatles' Hey Jude lasted 9 weeks in 1968. Rod Stewart had the biggest hit of his career, and helped reverse the trend of more than 30 songs at number one during each of the two previous years.
