Melody of the Year 1977 | Мелодия на годината 1977

Previous edition: 1976
Next edition: 1978

The 11th edition of the Melody of the Year TV song contest was held in January or February 19781 at the Konstantin Kisimov Musical and Drama Theatre in Veliko Tarnovo.

12 songs competed to be selected as the song of the year 1977. Each of them was already chosen as the song of the corresponding month by radio listeners. As usual, the state-owned Balkanton record company released an LP with the songs (BTA 10150) – this collection follows its tracklist, and each song's order corresponds to the month it was chosen as the melody of.

The winning songs of this edition are:

• Песен за октомври ("Song About October") by Margarita Hranova and Стари мой приятелю ("My Old Friend") by Lili Ivanova – both selected by the jury (76 points each)
• Най-хубавият лъч ("The Most Beautiful Ray of Sunshine") by Lili Ivanova and Asen Gargov – selected by the audience

• 1. I couldn't find any details as to when exactly the event happened, at least on the Internet. Once I do, I'll update the information accordingly.
