    Exclamation Help! Top 30 songs from specific week

    :icon_exclaim: I'm hoping someone can help. I want to make a compilation cd for a friend who is turning 30 this weekend. I'm need the names and artists of the top 30 songs from Billboard for the week ending August 14, 1976.
    Can someone help me out?

    Thanks,
    Rick

    I've got this at home and will try to remember to bring it in tomorrow (I don't have internet access at home right now).
    Make that feeling come again!

    Re: Help! Top 30 songs from specific week

    Do you want the Pop chart or disco chart? There wasn't a National Disco chart until 8/28/76....I can give you the Top 10 for August 7, 1976--I've typed out that chart...most of these should be around the next week...

    August 7, 1976

    Billboard Pop Chart Top 10:
    1) DON'T GO BREAKING MY HEART - Elton John & Kiki Dee (1st week @ #1)
    2) LOVE IS ALIVE - Gary Wright
    3) MOONLIGHT FEELS RIGHT - Starbuck
    4) LET 'EM IN - Wings
    5) YOU SHOULD BE DANCING - Bee Gees
    6) ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC - The Beach Boys
    7) GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE - The Beatles (from a 1966 LP)
    8. KISS AND SAY GOODBYE - The Manhattans ( #1 for the last 2 weeks)
    9) YOU'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER LOVE LIKE MINE - Lou Rawls
    10) AFTERNOON DELIGHT – Starland Vocal Band ( previously #1)

    that's a start
