McCartney hits # 1 at 76?

[CoolCat]

morning news said McCartney hit another # 1 with Egypt Station.

hes like 76 yrs old and so isnt this a Guiness World Record or something?

I checked out 3 of the songs on free youtube and they are fresh recordings, pop with guitars etc...
the recordings sound great, clear and punchy.

Billboard 200 is weekly rating, sales and streaming . the 200 is over all genres combined or something.

it must be nice to have a job you dont want to retire from, I assume thats the situation, I dont think he needs the money.
I work with a couple old 77 yr olds who could retire but they dont want to go home to their wife 24hrs a day. They said they did it once and it was horrific, so they came back to work until death.

not that theres anything wrong with that.

Eminem seems to have hit # 1, hes up there in the age too, Drake sat at # 1 for a long time....

a # 1 at 76 yrs old in the Billboard 200, isnt that a first?

edit> googled age is a young 76, not 80

The last demo, I Don't Know, was nice. I see Paul squeezed in a few retro flourishes on the bass here and there - those sounded like different guitars, apart from the main body of the songs.
