Year chart 1976

What is the best record of 1976 in the Dutch Top 40?

Dancing Queen by ABBA tops the 1976 year chart, with 471 points from 15 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. Dancing Queen (ABBA), 2. Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel (Tavares), 3. Love Hurts (Nazareth), 4. Mon amour (BZN), 5. Kiss and Say Goodbye (The Manhattans).

How is the 1976 year chart calculated?

Every weekly entry in 1976 earns points: 41 minus the position, so 40 points for a number 1 and 1 point for number 40. The sum of those points sets the order; on a tie the peak position counts, then the number of weeks, then the earliest week. Only the weeks of 1976 count, also for a record that entered the year before or stayed on into the next year.

Is the number 1 of the year chart also the record that spent longest at number 1?

Not necessarily. The year chart counts every week in the chart, including the weeks lower in the Top 40; a record that stayed high for a long time can therefore end above a shorter-lived number 1. The number ones of 1976, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 1976 year page.

How many weeks does the 1976 year chart cover?

52 weekly charts, with 327 different records between them, 21 of which reached number 1. Every week can be viewed separately from the year page.
