In the US, the single's run atop the chart was the longest of any of McCartney's post-Beatles works, and second longest career-wise (behind the Beatles' "Hey Jude"). For Wonder, it was his longest-running chart-topper and made him the first solo artist to achieve a number-one single in the US over three consecutive decades. It marked the first time that any single released by any member of the Beatles placed on the "Billboard" R&B chart. It was McCartney's record 28th song to hit number one on the "Billboard" Hot 100.
