Paul McCartney Charts A New Top 10 Smash In America
Paul McCartney ranks as one of the most successful rock musicians of all time. He has earned that honor in several ways, as multiple acts he’s been a part of — The Beatles, Wings, and of course McCartney as a soloist — have enjoyed years-long runs as hitmakers and powerful sellers.
Later this spring, the celebrated rocker will deliver a new album titled The Boys of Dungeon Lane. The set, expected in late May, will mark his first solo release in more than half a decade, and it is bound to do great things on charts globally. The first single from the project, “The Days We Left Behind,” arrives on one Billboard tally this frame, and it earns the superstar one more American top 10.
“The Days We Left Behind” only manages to appear on a single list published by Billboard this frame, and while McCartney and his label were surely hoping for a more impressive response in America, the fact that the cut debuts inside the top 10 should be counted as a win. This frame, “The Days We Left Behind” opens at No. 7 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, which details the bestselling tunes classified by Billboard specifically as rock via platforms like iTunes and Amazon.
