A more reliable source would be a well-conducted survey. Or, honestly, having worked for one of the big shared hosting providers, by the numbers small sites outnumber big sites to a staggering degree. One could get a pretty representative sample of overall share by asking the huge providers what appears to run the sites hosted on their services by percentage.
I have no particular reason to doubt more than half of sites are run by PHP considering the portion of sites that are WordPress. However, I also have no particular reason to trust that 77% is an accurate proportion.
