RPM was a Canadian music magazine that published the best-performing singles chart in Canada from 1964 to 2000.
"How Deep Is Your Love" by the Bee Gees held the top position from 1977 into 1978, and Gino Vannelli achieved the final number-one hit of the year with "I Just Wanna Stop".
Nine acts had their first number-one hit, such as Player, Dan Hill, Samantha Sang, Donny Hathaway, Bonnie Tyler, Gerry Rafferty, the Commodores, Nick Gilder and Gino Vannelli.
Four Canadian acts, Dan Hill, Anne Murray, Nick Gilder and Gino Vannelli, had one number-one song each in the chart that year.
Three singles, Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street", the Commodores' "Three Times a Lady" and Anne Murray's "You Needed Me", stayed at number one for four weeks each that year.
