Quick Facts Studio albums, EPs ...

After the Beatles disbanded, he debuted as a solo artist with the 1970 album McCartney and went on to form the band Wings with his first wife, Linda, and Denny Laine. Under McCartney's leadership, Wings became one of the most successful bands of the 1970s. He wrote or co-wrote their US or UK number-one hits, such as "My Love", "Band on the Run", "Listen to What the Man Said", "Silly Love Songs", and "Mull of Kintyre". He resumed his solo career in 1980 and has been touring as a solo artist since 1989. Apart from Wings, his UK or US number-one hits include "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" (with Linda), "Coming Up", "Pipes of Peace", "Ebony and Ivory" (with Stevie Wonder), and "Say Say Say" (with Michael Jackson). When "Say Say Say" hit number one, McCartney became the first artist to hit number one on the Billboard charts under five different names: the Beatles, Paul & Linda McCartney, Paul McCartney & Wings, Wings, and Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.

In 2012, McCartney was ranked eleventh best selling singles artist in United Kingdom with 10.2 million singles sold.[1]
