With the song's Hot 100 advance, McCartney makes history: he returns to the chart's top 10 after more than 29 years, ending the longest break between top 10s in the Hot 100's 56-year archives. He'd last graced the top 10 with "Spies Like Us" (the title theme from the Chevy Chase/Dan Aykroyd spoof), which reached No. 7 in 1986. McCartney passes Santana, who waited more than 28 years between top 10s from 1971 to 1999.
Let's take an updated look at the acts to return to the Hot 100's top 10 after the five longest gaps:
Paul McCartney, 29 years, 2 weeks
Feb. 8, 1986, "Spies Like Us"
Feb. 21, 2015, "FourFiveSeconds" (with Rihanna and Kanye West)
Santana, 28 years, 7 months, 2 weeks
Jan. 23, 1971, "Black Magic Woman"
Sept. 4, 1999, "Smooth" (feat. Rob Thomas)
Roy Orbison, 24 years, 5 months, 2 weeks
Oct. 31, 1964, "Oh, Pretty Woman"
April 15, 1989, "You Got It"
This time, Rihanna relaunched the career of the old men. Surprised ?
this song is basically mccartney's style so yeah.. rihanna and kanye singing a paul mccartney tune.. but yeah, the hight chart position is because of rihanna
