exhibit and the game although he's only
released three studio albums under his

highest paycheck a musician has
ever got also being the same business

dollars
and here we are viewers down to the
number one spot
sir paul mccartney has been a legend in
the music industry for
over 60 years now he has seen and done
it all so it's villainous that this
shouldn't be a surprise
both he and john lennon share the
writing credits for all the songs made
by the beatles
and considering they're the most
successful band of all time that pretty
much guarantees a lifetime of breaches
as of 2020 this super talented artist

that made it number one on the billboard
hundred also
his song yesterday has been remade by
over 2200
artists which technically makes it the
most covered song of all time

mind-blowing numbers paul mccartney is
reported to have under his belt
over 25 000 copyrights yes you have that
right
at the age of 77 he's still touring and
still collaborating with other artists
most recently with kanye west which adds
up to his massive gross endings
he has also been knighted and honored in
pretty much every way possible
musically or otherwise like we said
he's seen and done it all and dear

course
