Happy B'day today Sir Paul, #68: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCartney

You may have read this week that Michael Jackson's biggest record was not one of his solo hits, or with the J5, but 1983's "Say Say Say" with Paul, six weeks at # 1, 18 weeks in the Top 40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqBgn_sN94Y

Songs were ranked on overall performance in the Hot 100, the higher the chart position over time, the more points a record earned, so # weeks at #1, #wks in Top 10, #wks in Top 40 would naturally earn more, that's how Say Say Say beat out Billie Jean, Black or White, others.  Article:
