Paul McCartney discography

The discography of Paul McCartney consists of 27 studio albums, 5 compilation albums, 10 live albums, 50 video albums, 4 extended plays, 132 singles, 2 remix albums, 7 classical albums, 4 electronica albums, 6 box sets, 13 archival box bets, 110 music videos and 15 limited release albums. Before his career as a solo artist, McCartney, a founding member of the Beatles, enjoyed unprecedented success.

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). McCartney is the first artist to hit number one on the Billboard charts under five different names: the Beatles, Paul & Linda McCartney, Paul McCartney & Wings, Wings, Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.

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

In 2010, McCartney started releasing archival album box sets in the Paul McCartney Archive Collection. As of 2020, there have been 14 multi-disc sets released for 13 of his best albums, mostly the first half of his solo career and Wings. These deluxe edition coffee table books include visual materials on DVD, Blu-ray, streaming and limited theatrical engagements.
