It was a big year for such acts as the Steve Miller Band, Peter Frampton and Fleetwood Mac, who each placed three songs in high charting positions over the course of the 1976 calendar year. Paul McCartney's band Wings, Aerosmith, Queen and Electric Light Orchestra also had multiple entries.

First, it should be noted that "rock radio" was not technically a thing yet in the mid-1970s, at least not in terms of quantifying the popularity of rock songs.
The Mainstream Rock chart didn't even start until 1981, so back in 1976 the success of rock songs was largely measured on the Hot 100 against all other forms of music as well.
