Billboard Top 100 Albums of 1976

 In the previous post I covered the Top 100 songs of 1976, so now here directly from Billboard Magazine the Top 100 Albums of 1976.  This list is topped by Peter Frampton who was red hot that year with his #1 album "Frampton Comes Alive".   Even to this day he doesnt know why that album took off  the way it did but he is so happy about it.
