Paul McCartney heading for first solo Number 1 album in over 30 years with McCartney III

Sir Paul McCartney is on course for his first UK Number 1 album as a soloist in over three decades with McCartney III.

The Beatles legend’s 18^th solo studio album is the third and final chapter in a trilogy of albums including his debut album McCartney from 1970 and McCartney II which followed ten years later in 1980; the former reached Number 2 on the Official Albums Chart, with the latter charting at Number 1.

McCartney III scored almost 25,000 chart sales over the weekend and may mark the artist’s first solo Number 1 album since 1989’s Flowers in the Dirt.
