Paul McCartney returns to Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart, snagging his first top 25 hit as a solo artist on the July 11-dated ranking, following a busy week that saw him release two new solo songs and perform Beatles classics on the latest edition of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke series on June 21.

McCartney ranks highest on Hot Rock Songs via The Beatles' 1970 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "Let It Be," which debuts at No. 18; older songs are able to re-enter the Hot 100 or its corresponding genre-based hybrid charts, like Hot Rock Songs, if they have meaningful reasons for their return and rank in a chart's top half.

After McCartney performed "Let It Be" on Carpool Karaoke with Corden, it debuted thanks to 1.5 million U.S. streams (a 68 percent gain) and 10,000 downloads sold (up 973 percent) in the week ending June 28, according to Nielsen Music.

McCartney also debuts two new songs on the ranking, led by "Come On to Me," which starts at No. 24 with 799,000 U.S. streams, 631,000 radio audience impressions and 10,000 sold. The uptempo track concurrently enters at No. 34 on the Adult Alternative Songs airplay chart, marking McCartney's sixth solo appearance on the ranking, which began in 1996.

A second new McCartney song, ballad "I Don't Know," debuts at No. 39 on Hot Rock Songs (428,000 streams, 207,000 in airplay audience and 4,000 sold).

In all, six Beatles tunes chart on Rock Digital Song Sales, joining McCartney's two new solo songs; "Come On to Me" starts at No. 4 and "I Don't Know" opens at No. 12.

Behind "Let It Be" at No. 6, the other Beatles songs re-entering Rock Digital Song Sales are "Blackbird" (No. 10, 5,000 sold), "Hey Jude" (No. 11, 5,000), "Penny Lane" (No. 15, 4,000), "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" (No. 18, 3,000) and "Here Comes the Sun" (No. 24, 3,000). 

Egypt Station, McCartney's first album of new solo material since 2013's New, is due Sept. 7 on Capitol Records and features production from Greg Kurstin and Ryan Tedder.

Paul McCartney, “See Your Sunshine” From Memory Almost Full (2007): One Track Mind

Wrapped in a very public and bitter divorce, Paul McCartney embraced everything he did matter in the first place in the burning memory almost full, published on June 5, 2007. That's perhaps more than ever in this terrible setback.

Overall, the album took more in retrospect that bitter introspection expected. It is fully realized in "See Your Sunshine" a cunning Alas tune redo ending as anachronistic but somehow more attractive way of registration.


 
Background vocals, bright and cyclic, as strongly reminiscent of Denny Laine and late wife Linda as for completely new transport in 1976. ("Silly Love Songs", after all, went to No. 1 during the last week of May of that year.) This is the kind of pure pop that Paul McCartney became a soundtrack immediately after the ugly decade Beatles own division. And just as welcome.

Memory Almost Full, as a group of very committed fans discovered, was an anagram of "my soul mate LLM", the initials of Linda Louise McCartney. Asked the question, Paul would have said: "Some things are better left a mystery." But he is not one of them. Paul McCartney is supposed to sound just like the song.

That meets that standard, so fully inhabits its own cliché, for a period of overwhelming adversity is part of the charm of Paul. Always it has been.

That said, "See Your Sunshine" is not necessarily representative of Memory Almost Full, who insisted (on grinding industrial riff, the "Vintage Clothes") that we should "live in the past. Not cling to something that is changing quickly "Nostalgia Comfy but also fit with the then recent departure of Paul McCartney Capitol - where, after all, had been recorded since the early 60s McCartney subsequently signed with a stamp of Starbucks for this, his solo CD 21, and He agreed to release Memory Almost Full, for the first time in digital format on the website.

Still, it was comforting to know that just as Paul McCartney tried to embrace this new world daredevil, who had not forgotten what came before. In a statement released in advance of the album chart, McCartney said the title came after the "Memory Almost Full" message appeared on her cell phone. "In modern life," he wrote, "our brains can get a bit overloaded".

Paul McCartney Appears On New Kanye West Single ‘All Day’

Kanye West's new single contains a blast from the past of Paul McCartney, delivered by none other than former Beatle himself.

Continuing a recent series of collaborations that has seen McCartney chip in the West "Only One" and "FourFiveSeconds" singles (and McCartney brought its greatest success in the years down the road), the duo worked together on "All Day" The latest version from western So help me God next LP, and the results can trigger a jolt of recognition among fans always familiar with more unreleased material from Sir Paul.


As noted by Rolling Stone, McCartney first heard towards the end of "all day" when the song deviates from established and agreed on a softer section led by acoustic guitar and whistling. This bit seems to be a new recording of a song by McCartney first worked in 1969, when - as he explained in an interview - which was inspired by a Picasso painting try to write a song using chords only two fingers on the guitar.

This composition, while never released later became "When the wind blows," a theme that has worked and finally discarded during sessions Ram LP 1971. Its tranquil mood, bucolic seems to contradict with a song whose lyrics include lines like "Ball so hard, man, this s- cray," but on the other hand, many have said the idea of working together McCartney and West didn’t not make sense either.

A number of officers uploads "All Day" have come and gone since the launch yesterday of the studio version, but it seems likely that the surface on the video page Vevo West soon. Meanwhile, the single is now available for purchase.

Hear Paul McCartney And Kanye West's Emotional Ballad 'Only One'

The new runway surprise is the first in what is the rapper rep calls "a prolific musical collaboration between these two legendary artists"

Paul McCartney and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards 2009. The two collaborated for the surprise new track "Only One".



D'Angelo however, no surprise Beyonce-esque albums by the end of 2014. However, when the clock became another year Wednesday night, Kanye West released "Only One" minimal new track, moving with Paul McCartney on the keyboard. The song is available for listening on the website of West or through the iTunes store.

Written from the perspective of Kanye's late mother Donda, who died in 2007 from complications of surgery, "Only One" sounds like a bittersweet bonus track 808s and heartbreak Kanye. "Remember how I say one day / you be the man I always knew it would be," the Auto-Tuned voice sings west. "And if you knew how proud he was / you never shed a tear / having a fear / No, do not do that." McCartney, meanwhile, avoided any histrionics in favor of a simple and plaintive style commensurate with emotional lyrics. "My mom was singing to me, and through me to my daughter," West said in a statement, noting also that the name "Kanye" means "Only one".

The surprise track seems to be the starting point for the two icons randomly once. According to a spokesman for West, "Only One" is the first "publicly available record of what has become a prolific musical collaboration between these two legendary artists."

McCartney and West began working at the track early last year in Los Angeles, from, like notes state, "a simple brainstorming session ideas between the two, with McCartney improvising on keyboards and Kanye vocally drawing and shape ideas into a stream of -consciousness riff.

"Kanye sat there with his family, with his daughter on his lap North and heard his voice, singing," Hello, my only ... '"said the statement." And at that time, could not only remember having sung those words, but realized that maybe the words never had come from him. The process of artistic creation is one that does not involve thinking, but often the pipe. He understood then that his late mother, Donda West doctor, who was also his mentor, confidant and best friend, had spoken through him that day. "

As complex notes, the wife of West Kim Kardashian called "Only One", his favorite song by her husband.

"People always ask me what my favorite song Kanye is and is alone. Kanye feels like his mother sang through it for our daughter."
