Flashback: Paul McCartney & Wings' 'Band On The Run' Single Tops The Charts

It was 48 years ago this week that Paul McCartney & Wings' "Band On The Run" hit Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, topping the charts for one week. The song marked McCartney's third post-Beatles chart-topping single, following 1971's "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" and 1973's "My Love."

By that point, McCartney's chart-success was way ahead of his former-bandmates, with a total of eight solo U.S. Top Ten hits under his belt, with John Lennon only scoring two, George Harrison with three, and Ringo Starr coming closest with a total of five American Top Ten smashes.
