50 years later and Paul still has the girls scurrying after him.

Frankly I would be embarrassed talking about my musical career (If I had one) sitting next to Paul

[gordonsmith]

Sir Paul McCartney the only musician to be number 1 as a solo artist, duet, trio, quartet & quintet. It's not looking likely anyone else will score that!

[swifty]

What I really like about Paul is that he's so humble for someone so famous.

[benpsmith]

McCartney was number one when being number one actually mattered.

[clarencetheguitar]

She was obviously just poking fun, and Paul was such a good sport about it. Love him. <3

[myrin]

"is it more than 10?"
"yes"
"ok good"

[sammyhoffman]

The fact that he didn’t know those facts about his own music shows how humble and incredible this guy is. He’s in it just for the music

I feel like Paul wanted to say "Yes but in my day we had Elvis, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, The Rolling Stones & Jimmy Hendrix. Now you have Mans Not Hot topping the charts it's not hard." Nowadays a album goes platinum if it sells 500, 000 copies." Paul McCartney and many other veterans sell more copies than this in their whole catalogue even if it's been out for 40 years.

And how many of those did you write yourself Katy?

[mysteriousvideomaker]

i wouldn't mind a gif of katy crawling after paul.

[mattstazza]

in 50 years time people will still be listening to the beatles, cant say that for katy perry or most of the crap out today

[icytea]

hes still number 1 his music were timeless

[germanrosero]

Paul, 34 number ones, Billboard, Most number ones in Music History.

who knew that james and paul would make history with the greatest carpool karaoke 5 years later

[robertmiller]

Sir Paul is so cool. He has really given us all the gift of music.

[Fordham]

Actually, for the US charts the correct number is 29 #1's, which includes Beatles, Wings, solo, and duets with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson.And if you include cover versions by other artists of songs that Mccartney wrote or co-wrote that went to #1, it's 34.

[pennavedc]

5 years later, 2 of these guests will make the BEST carpool karaoke ever!!!

[Esterferreiradecastro]

I would literally have guessed about 100 songs in number one, they are all so good

[thomassomeone]

I like how Paul literally guessed "20"
