Paul McCartney discography

The discography of English musician Paul McCartney consists of 25 studio albums, four compilation albums, eight live albums, 37 video albums, two extended plays, 99 singles, seven classical albums, two electronica albums, two box sets, and 74 music videos. Before his career as a solo artist, McCartney enjoyed success as a member of the rock band the Beatles. After their break-up in 1970, McCartney released his eponymous debut album McCartney, the 1971 single "Another Day" and Ram with wife Linda McCartney, all of which were commercial successes,[1] with the latter being supported by his first number one single "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey".[2] After Ram, the duo formed Wings and recorded music until 1981.
