1976 is een van mijn favoriete jaren.
Het jaar waarin ik als basisschool kid liedjes van de radio oppikte
om ze daarna fonetisch na te zingen of ijverig mee te neuriën.
Het jaar waarin Abba ook definitief de wereld veroverde.

Frank Farian had een nummer 1 hit in Duitsland
met een Duitstalige versie van Rocky (van Don Mercedes).
Amerika vaart in de jaren 70 een opvallend eigen koers.

Dit zijn de 18 voor 1976.

1. en 2. echte alltime-favorieten van mij.

Een schitterend hitjaar, 1976! Ik heb dan zoveel moois moeten schrappen! Ik heb gekozen voor slechts 1 nummer van ABBA. CHUBBY CHECKER en FATS DOMINO heb ik ook niet opgenomen (het waren grote hits van vroeger).

Met het lijstje van LucM kan ik leven, maar ik zou er aan toe voegen;

Let ' em In (Paul McCartney & Wings)
Silly Love Songs (Paul McCartney & Wings)
This Song (George Harrison)
Crackerbox Palace (George Harrison)
I Wish (Stevie Wonder)
The Fez (Steely Dan)

Het zijn enkel nr.1-hits die dazzler heeft geselecteerd.

I'm very sorry, ik dacht wat je dacht dat nummer één hits zouden moeten geweest zijn of iets van die strekking, of je eigen nummer énen uit dat jaar....
