In the UK, "McCartney" debuted at number 2, where it remained for three weeks behind the best-selling album of 1970, Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water". By 15 May, "McCartney" had sold over 1 million copies in the US, and from 23 May, began a three-week stay at number 1 on the "Billboard" Top LPs chart, eventually going double platinum. Despite "Maybe I'm Amazed" receiving considerable airplay on US radio, McCartney refused to issue it or any other song from the album as a single.
