Paul McCartney has been named the U.K.’s most successful albums act of all time. The former Beatle was awarded the Official Chart Record Breaker Award, which is presented to artists achieving the greatest sales feats, by the Official Charts Company. McCartney has scored 22 number one albums over the course of his career while selling over 700 million albums worldwide. “Okay, you know how it really feels? It feels unbelievable, because when you write your songs you don’t count how well they’re doing,” McCartney said in statement. “I remember when Please, Please Me went to number one, that was our first number one record, and it’s a beautiful feeling to suddenly get this [award], I mean it’s amazing. So thank you to the people for giving it to me, I love you. And thank you to everyone who made it possible by buying the records, we love you too.” “It is a huge honor for the Official Charts to pay tribute to Paul McCartney’s incredible achievements with this special award,” chief executive of the Official Charts Company, Martin Talbot, added. “Over more than 50 years, Paul has been a fixture on the British and world music scene – so to recognize his contribution as part of the UK Albums Chart’s 60th birthday feels absolutely appropriate.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com.
