RPM was a Canadian music magazine that published the bestselling singles chart in Canada from 1964 to 2000. In 1977, thirty-seven singles reached number one in Canada. The first number one single was from Rod Stewart, with "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" which reached number one in December 1976, and the last was "How Deep Is Your Love" from the British-Australian trio Bee Gees. Twenty acts had their first number-one hit, such as Marilyn McCoo, Billy Davis Jr., Samantha Sang, Leo Sayer, The Sylvers, Rose Royce, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Mary MacGregor, David Soul, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger, Alan O'Day, Shaun Cassidy, Andy Gibb, Pablo Cruise, Rita Coolidge, the Electric Light Orchestra, Meco, Debby Boone and Crystal Gayle. Six acts, Leo Sayer, Stevie Wonder, the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Shaun Cassidy and KC and the Sunshine Band scored two number-ones each in 1977. No Canadian acts had any number-one song in the chart that year.

The longest-running number-one single of 1977, and also the best-performing single of the year, was Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life", which spent five weeks at number one. Barbra Streisand's "Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)" and Andy Gibb's "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" stayed at number one for three weeks that year.
