Saturday Night topped the charts

January 3, 1976
The Bay City Rollers single, Saturday Night reached the No. 1 position on the US Billboard Charts (their only US No. 1 single,) on this date.

This song was first recorded in 1973 with original Rollers vocalist Nobby Clarke, but this version tanked when it was released in the UK. The band, as well as songwriters Bill Martin and Phil Coulter, had faith in the song and re-recorded it for US versions of their 1975 album Wouldn’t You Like It.
