→‎Solo and Wings: Current consensus 3-1 based on most current discussion, 6-3 based on past discussions in favor of keeping it to McCartney and not Wings. If there is an argument other than McCartney owned/had total control over Wings - not how discographies work - bring it to our attention on the talk page please.

The discography of English musician Paul McCartney consists of 19 studio albums, four compilation albums, nine live albums, 33 video albums, two extended plays, 111 singles, seven classical albums, five electronica albums, 4 box sets, and 78 music videos.

Before his career as a solo artist, McCartney had success as a member of the rock band the Beatles. After their break-up in 1970, McCartney released his eponymous debut album, 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 released several successful albums including Band on the Run (1973), Venus and Mars, (1975) and Wings at the Speed of Sound (1976). Since the break-up of Wings in 1981, McCartney has continued his career as a solo artist.

In 2012, McCartney was ranked eleventh best selling singles artist in United Kingdom with 10.2 million singles sold.[3]
