Episode 163: ”Ranking The #1 Songs!”

Macca has had 11 #1 Songs between the US and UK Charts: 'Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey' (US) 'My Love' (US) 'Band on the Run' (US) 'Listen to what the Man Said' (US) 'Silly Live Songs' (US) 'With a Little Luck' (US) 'Mull of Kintyre' (UK) 'Coming Up' (live) (US) 'Ebony and Ivory' Both 'Pipes of Peace' (UK) 'Say Say Say' (US) For fun this week Tom & Andy decided to rank these 11 based on their favourites and why. We also discuss differences between chart placements on other songs, near misses. How some songs went higher in the US (in the 70s) but in the 80s (in certain instances) Paul performed better in his native homeland. And the oft discussed "songs that weren't right for the US market" which record labels stupidly thought was important regarding songs written by Paul McCartney when it came to releasing them or pushing them. As Tom says: "It's Friggen Paul McCartney!" We know most will agree.   How do you rank Paul's #1 Singles between the US/UK? Let us know and Ram ON!
