Plus Paul actually WROTE his songs.
So did KATY
Sure.. go with that.
She did write them herself or else how can they be about her own personal life experiences? Yes, she had help from co-writers with most songs but the majority of it is written by her.
+CapAnson12345 Though many of her songs have co-writers or many co-writers she has written all of her songs and quite a few give her sole writing credit going back to her christian album when she still going by Kate Hudson. Katy can write music despite being a big pop star, it's not that outlandish a thought.
+Rachel Hobson Paul used to have a co-writer when he started out, but I think he died.
50 years later and Paul still has the girls scurrying after him.
Yep, and he could had Katy Perry right then and there if wanted to......lol!
Lmfaoo oooooooo!!!
sir paul mccartney silly titles from the undemocratic monarchy , who live in palaces pontificating claptrap and propagating a feudal society lennon gave his mbe title back , sir mbe obe dames all so wrong not relevant at all today
MLK I have a dream everyone child woman and man is equal ....
Stella Mccartney also designed Meghan Markle's second wedding reception dress at £ 80 000 it's been a hard days night ..
Onthemarket Blog: If I was a British citizen, I would love to have a title of a Sir. It would be a honor to have a title like that attached to my name.
Dude your Ganja was evidently bad. Like, Real Bad.
McCartney was number one when being number one actually mattered.
cubomania3 oh god don’t start
@John Ashtone *Peter And Gordon - World Without Love
I don't really get this comment, because music is so much more competitive nowadays so being number one is actually more impressive i guess. Or is there something im missing i don't know maybe but to me it seems like it's more impressive nowadays.
Being number one now matters to some people. The older generation didn't like your music and tried to crap on it when you were young and now you return the favor by doing the same to today's youth. Well done.
@@ayylmao5664 Had to actually go and buy the record back in the day rather than stream it I guess
Frankly I would be embarrassed talking about my musical career (If I had one) sitting next to Paul
Mmm, if you were John Lennon
That’s why you don’t have one
Can't you be a bit more ambitious with your hypothetical music career? I have a 100 number ones in mine.
Only a Beatle can talk about a music career sitting next to another Beatle
she was asked and she has every right to be confident she is a 100milllionaire bc of that |"career" u think lesser of her for!
Sir Paul McCartney the only musician to be number 1 as a solo artist, duet, trio, quartet & quintet. It's not looking likely anyone else will score that!
what was the trio? " Free as a bird " didn't go number #1
LittleSweaty Monkey Well in the UK it was Mull of Kintyre as it was him, Linda McCartney & Denny Laine
Hasn't Mull of Kintyre always been promoted as a wings single? I mean those three wrote the songs, but wings was still a full band as well that worked and toured together.

Wings. Only the band The Beatles could have been.
What I really like about Paul is that he's so humble for someone so famous.
swifty1969 People gain perspective as they age. They realize it's not all going to last forever, and to be thankful and humble about the things they have attained.
swifty1969 Not that humble, this is the TV, but you don't know how is him face to face.
+OneHundredPoints you do?
John Smith
I know something, because i read some things, for example, he's not that humble when it comes about a private interview for a newspaper. He kept the protocol of The Beatles, it takes so much time and paperwork to get an interview with this guy and when you finally got it, the interviews with him are short, expensive and he apparently is very serious with the press.
OneHundredPoints any sources?
"is it more than 10?"
"yes"
"ok good"
😂
😂😂😂
She was obviously just poking fun, and Paul was such a good sport about it. Love him.
I'm not sure it's that obvious since I don't think she was.
Natalya she clearly was
She is stupid that what it's
@@sass_king5576 it's one of those joking but not really joking things.
allroundlad she was joking its called sarcasm & having a sence of humor which you appetently lack
The fact that he didn’t know those facts about his own music shows how humble and incredible this guy is. He’s in it just for the music
Bullshit. Nobody does it for 'the music' They do it for money, simple as that.
The fact that he doesn't know thoose facts about "his" own songs and history rather tells he is NOT James Paul McCartney.
@@olskzeri2723 The story of him being killed all those years ago does have some merrit.
@@olskzeri2723 idiot
@@rhynouk1 not true at all, Paul could have retired after the beatles broke up, he had the money to do it but he didn't, he still wanted to make music and he went in to start Wings and then a very successful solo career and his wife helped him do it because he ended up with depression after that Beatles broke up. Many artists today only do it for the money and it shows in their music, not writing their own songs, backing tracks, auto tune, showy performances instead of singing and no instruments. It was different back then because you had to be way more creative than you do now to get a record deal so only the best got into the charts.
And how many of those did you write yourself Katy?
haznick she write all of her songs and also already did 2 for Kelly clarkson, party in the USA for Miley cyrus and for other artists like pink and selena gomes ok
Well I love you.
katy perry did not write party in the usa... that was fkn jessie j mate..
Dr. Luke, Jessie J, and Claude Kelly all have songwriting credits on Party in the USA
The singer dude read the comment above yours lol
I feel like Paul wanted to say "Yes but in my day we had Elvis, Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, The Rolling Stones & Jimmy Hendrix. Now you have Mans Not Hot topping the charts it's not hard." Nowadays a album goes platinum if it sells 500,000 copies." Paul McCartney and many other veterans sell more copies than this in their whole catalogue even if it's been out for 40 years.
Sam Cody
Great points!
But I know closer were The Supremes oddly enough. And Paul competed with Brian Wilson. Stones have always been in large part a touring band which in my opinion is the only reason they've sustained. Not too many hits for them since the 60s.
Sam Cody the doors
to be fair, man's not hot is satire, and is more enjoyable than most of the shite we normally get in the charts anyway
@@annascoria6178 Your crazy! Most of the stones biggest hits came after the 60s. Wild horses, miss you, start me up, angie, brown sugar, beast of burden, it's only rock n roll and cant you hear me knocking were ALL released after 1970. They had some great ones in the 60s too, but they were all after 1965.
lol u onyl named guy musicians when females ruled that era as well
in 50 years time people will still be listening to the beatles, cant say that for katy perry or most of the crap out today
people have already forgotten about her..!
And I just realized she is Katy Perry after reading this comment I did not listen to her music about 3 year and I already forgot about her face
yeah I doubt that
I won’t be can’t stand the Beatles myself 🤮 #overrated.
Not what they thought when the Beatles first started out
Actually,for the US charts the correct number is 29 #1's ,which includes Beatles,Wings,solo,and duets with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson.And if you include cover versions by other artists of songs that Mccartney wrote or co-wrote that went to #1,it's 34.
Fordham1969 it's a UK tv show so i think they were only talking about UK number ones
k
kety
That's impressive
Don't forget that he also wrote the song that's been the most covered in the entire universe - Yesterday.
Yeah, let's compare Katy Perry to Paul fucking McCartney, see how that turns out.
Roberto Llanto Different lenght of careers, it's impossible to compare. And anyway i don't see the point in comparing careers, everyone has his/her own one, so who cares!
Paul, 34 number ones, Billboard, Most number ones in Music History.
29
i wouldn't mind a gif of katy crawling after paul.
who knew that james and paul would make history with the greatest carpool karaoke 5 years later
Yeah
Yeah
Pathetic James cordon
it was a joke, there is no musician who doesn't respect Paul McCartney
Agreed. And that goes for Ringo too. Ask any drummer, especially the really famous ones "Was Ringo a good drummer?" and you won't believe how gushing their praise will be.
@@ivanjulian2532 No one gives a shit about Ringo
@@Kelvinack Who hurt you?
You think she's a musician? Bwahahahahahaha!
@@henrik8279 Do I have to be hurt to know that Ringo contributed absolutely nill to the success of the Beatles or are you just a troll?
Paul = 24 #1 singles without any help of labels or marketing, just loyal fans listening to ACTUAL music. Katy = nothing but fucking commercialized shitty ''music''
maybe for but for million of people your commentary its stupid and shitty ;)
just like your grammar
Vitor Rocha tipical comment of a stupid person.you cant give a better answer?
Vitor Rocha lol you need to learn english too stupid
Vitor Rocha keep talking right now katy is more rich.and by the way people like you only say shit look what you read and think
Paul McCartney composes both words and music.
And a shit opera called Liverpool Oratorio
@@zapkvr Whether you like it or not at least he tried
hes still number 1 his music were timeless
John and Paul, FOREVER, are the greatest writers of all time.
The real paul died in 1966
@@theriddler482 so did you
I kinda think George was just as good
I like how Paul literally guessed "20"
Considering many of their songs where 1,2,3,4,5 etc on the list at the same time they and most likely Paul has had more number 1's.
Plus, most of the those Beatle singles were double-sided hits. They would have had at least 10 more #1's if they hadn't done that. Plus they released albums that had NO singles. Ever heard of Sgt. Pepper, folks? No singles off of it.
@@lynnturman8157 white album had no singles as well.
@@erikh448 yep, you're right
5 years later, 2 of these guests will make the BEST carpool karaoke ever!!!
Geeezzz,...don’t understand all the hate for Katy here.
I’m no fan of her music and have only listened to Paul’s music perhaps, maybe,...only one or two million times. But even so, she deserves a whole lot of credit here.
She knows she’s not in the same league as Paul. She might not even be in the same universe. No one is.
Still,...conversation wise, she stood toe to toe next to a giant and didn’t blink once. When most, I’m sure would have faltered.
A thoroughly entertaining conversation from all.
Sir Paul is so cool. He has really given us all the gift of music.
"I've (Katie Perry) already got ten and I've only been going for 5 years" is everything you need to know about how terrible the pop music scene is now.
Curtis Jensen true. Different generation, different competition. If Katy had the same generation with Beatles and many other legends, i don't think she could ever go to #1.
FinnFilms - No...she was just being crass...millennials know no other way to be(have).
@@MANHATTANBEEFMAN You're stupid. Stop trying to explain shit.
@@MANHATTANBEEFMANshe was joking and ur bitter for no reason
😅
He’s done so much that he doesn’t even keep tabs no more . he’s literally hearing all the facts about himself and genuinely surprised 😂
Paul’s little victory face at 1:34 this man is adorable
I would literally have guessed about 100 songs in number one, they are all so good
Number ones mean nothing with a Legendary artist like Paul, I mean he wrote so many tremendous songs.
I don’t think I could be calm just casually sitting next to one of the greatest musicians of the greatest band ever
It's like comparing The SUN with a flashlight!
You mean fleshlight?
She could be a Page 3 girl with those knockers....
Here comes the sun
Wow brillant comment
Katy has had 4 number 1's in Britain not 10. And while Katy has 9 in the US, Paul has had 31. No comparison. She probably counts the minor charts (i.e. Dance charts that involve far fewer sales and did not exist 30 yrs ago)whereas the interviewer was counting the main British total sales chart. Again no comparison in terms of success. Paul is the most successful ever as performer and songwriter but he's not one to brag about it.
Paul to Katy - _”shall we compare each other’s net worth?”_ 😳😂
...even after all my divorces ...
@@alfaDude156 bruh 😂💀
People really need to put 24 #1s in perspective. People's tastes change, and what's popular evolves. To stand the test of time is quite the accomplishment. Katy probably will fade into obscurity, like others before her. She won't come close to that number.
+Martin Denney Yeah, got me there.
+GhostSpectre yeah, also it's not just #1s that count, he still performs in sold out venues, I know how hard it is to get tickets for any of his shows (I've tried a couple of times, all the good ones were sold in literally seconds)
+GhostSpectre and without the help of social media and autotune
It's 6 years later. Katy do not have any no 1 now. She will be forgotten soon.
Also the Beatles were together for a very short time compared with most bands.
I mean- it's not really the same thing. A huge part of Paul's career consists of the work he's done for the band.
So it's really astounding that, on top of having made music's history with the Beatles, he's EVEN had other 24 N.1 singles.
What a career- and what an artist
Real JPM's career ended late 1966. They are two different persons! Paul and William.
I absolutely love that there are the young Beatles fangirls(me included), the older Beatles fans, the Katy Perry fangirls, and fans that just like the show in this comment section! What a nice and mixed crowd :D
(Edit: i was just spell checking)
“I’ve had one, I’m not even a singer!” 🤷♂️😂
Some 24 as a member of the Beatles, 20 something as solo and I have to wonder how many songs he wrote for others that went to #1!??
Jeez, wtfs up with you lot. It's a light hearted show where they all joke about. If they didn't you'd be bored to tears.
Wow, everyone needs to stop hating Katy Perry because it seems "cool". I'm not a fan of hers, but bad mouthing her because "she's lame and her music sucks because omg Paul McCartney I'm so cool" is not an excuse. I don't give two shits about her music, but I respect her for what she is.
The man is, along with John Lennon, the most successful AND the most CRITICALLY acclaimed songwriter in history. PERIOD!
WHat you're looking at here is akin to seeing the likes of a Leonardo Da Vinci or an ALbert Einstein. Hands down the best in music history.
Not more influential then Bob Dylan in terms of songwriting though.
@@mokrodog I honestly can't name a single Bob Dylan song.
@@jonlee2286 same but its just obvious he was more influential in songwriting
@@mokrodog The only problem with Bob was his voice...
Paul, Katy and James had a great rapport between them. Their humour blended well.
Sir Paul. The Legend.
In this clip, she said she got 10 number-one singles in just five years. And the irony is that none of her singles reached number one position in the last 7 years... That's what you get when you compare yourself with the GOATS!
Paul McCartney is the only artist to have a number one in the UK while performing as a solo, a duet, a trio, a quartet, a quintet, a sextet and an ensemble.
Pause has 50+ years of writing, singing, playing. In bands, as a solo artist. Sold millions of singles and albums, when you had to go to a music store to buy them. Had one of the greatest influences on modern music of any individual.
I cannot name a single Katy Perry song... I need a new pad of legal paper to name all the McCartney, Beatles, Wings, duet compositions I know by Paul.
two legal pads if you knew all the stuff that didn't get published, and the b sides...
ok?
The Beatles had 20 number 1 singles in the US. 17 in UK.
Paul as a solo artist with Wings, duets w MJ and S. Wonder has another 9.
Plus, he wrote WORLD WITHOUT LOVE for Peter and Gordon. Which went to number 1
So maybe 30 total. I could be off by 1 or 2
The best part is how Paul goes “twenty?” like he has no idea
71 years old and still rocking.
And after all this time she has earned only one more no. 1
Well, if we're talking about Billboard number ones, and if we include both the Beatles and Wings with Paul's solo career,
then he's written 35 US number one hit singles.
@Jim McCracken Nah, just because he wrote those songs doesn't mean that they would've been hits had he performed them.
It's not just about the song itself, but also the way they're played and sung. And there's a reason he gave them away, you know? He thought others could do them more justice than he could.
@Jim McCracken I ain't changing shit. You were the one who wanted to include the "other" songs, remember?
@Jim McCracken Giving up already? Weak.
The Lennon & McCartney songs from The Beatles were actually always written by one of those two. For instance "Get Back" was written by McCartney, "Come Together" by Lennon and so on. Mainly the one who sings the song is the one who wrote the song. Many people still don't know this to this day
believe it or not.
Not true. You may think that one or the other wrote the bulk of a song they each brought to the table, but John and Paul always had their fingers in each other's pies so to speak. To one of your examples, Come Together may have been written by John, but it was Paul adding the swampy bass line and the catchy drum beat that made the song so unique. They each wrote their own songs, but most of the time the finished product was a creation completed by both of them together (along with George and Ringo sometimes too) that made each song so Beatle-esque.
@@Shanrocks What you are saying applies only in a few cases. In other words that doesn't applies in most of the songs composed by Paul (Let it Be, Hey Jude, The Long And Winding Road, Get Back...and I can continue forever) and the most of the songs composed by John (Across the Universe, All You Need is Love, Revolution, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Tomorrow Never Knows, Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man, Ticket to Ride....and I can continue forever). So actually what you're saying is not true.
@@ernestomartinez4090 the fact that you listed Tomorrow Never Knows as a John Lennon song just goes to show how much you don't realize the depth of collaboration between Lennon and McCartney. (John was literally reading lines from the Tibetan Book of the Dead and the tape loops on TNK are all Paul's). I do agree that there was a lot of songs written on The White Album in particular and the Let It Be album as well in which John's songs were mostly his own, and Paul's were his own creations. But even some of the songs you listed besides TNK like Norwegian Wood, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Ticket to Ride etc, they may have started out as songs John brought to the studio, but they were definitely fully realized and finished as collaborations. Even Hey Jude, which was primarily a Paul song, had input from John, (the line about "the movement you need is on your shoulder" which Paul was going to change) and if Paul hadn't taken John's suggestion it would have ultimately made it a different song, however slight of a change it would have been. So in fact, a lot of their songs were legitimately Lennon/McCartney whether their input on the song was 50/50, 75/25, 90/10 or whatever.
98 weeks at number one ... OMG
I think Katie showed a lot af class crawling after Paul, even though it was all a joke.
I cant imagine her doing that for anyone else.
Its incredible that they were together for only 10 yrs . Made 13 studio albums ,and sold 600 million of them worldwide .
It was really foolish of Katy to compare her '5-yrs-already-10' to a veteran. But it was superbly honourable to see Sir Paul take it as a sport... That's class I reckon!
It was a hubris joke, that's why everybody laughed.
At the end of the day it's about quality not quantity.macca has both on his side. (End of story).
Start of story. Have you heard Venus and mars? It's shit. And of story.
Grunthos The Flatulent "And" ???
Number one albums are more significant.
Matthew Worswick Really? On some chart listings the South Pacific soundtrack was number 1 for 70 weeks. In the 60s you didn’t need to sell many copies to get a number 1 album. On the other hand, neither Pet Sounds nor Dark Side of the Moon were number 1 albums in the UK.
The Beatles managed to have number 1 albums, but also rewrote the rules about what could be done with an album.
Love Paul . He is just such a lovely funny person :)
Paul is such a humble man. I hipe he lives forever
Katy Perry has had 10 number 1 singles.
Now, let's try and name 5 of them.
Why bring up that statistic? He hasn't had a number one single in a long time.
A more relevant number would be that he's had 52 top 10 albums in the UK.
Katie Perry's had 2. Don't know if that other guy's had any.
andyeastcoast yeah that other guy isn't a singer so it's doubtful, by the way his name's James Corden
"That other guy" ...omg 😄 GG 👍
That other guy is a comedian who doesn’t make serious music
How do you even manage to spend 2 years at Number 1, that's amazing.
@Donde Merlin still its a lot of time
Haha, I need sleep. I heard that Paul had spent 98 weeks at #1 with a single song 😆
Thoufht, DAMNNNN!!! How have I not heard this song before. Quick google search cleared that up for me, which was then reaffirmed by my watching the clip again🤣👏👏
Different generation. Different competition. Just remember Beatles has the same generation with MANY legendary artists and somehow Beatles beats them.
if the Beatles started today I doubt they would go to number 1.
@@Fireglo i think they would
paul is awesome
I love katty Perry and Paul McCartney in this
"I had one and im not even a singer" 😂😂😂😂😂 lmao
0:58 no you’ve only sang ten.Theres a difference
A better comparison would be the number of records or downloads sold. I doubt anyone will come close to that figure whatever it is.
Katy Perry was just joking around in the way everyone on Graham's show does. Why is she getting flack for it?!
In 1970 Paul had his first Solo single and two of his Beatles songs competing with each other and competing with John and George's first solo single...that huge

too keep them honest Irving Berlin did have 20 number 1's lots of film scores, and wrote something like 1500 songs, so Guessing he should get an honourable mention?
@Virginia Addis Supremes wasn't it?
Katy Perry looking so beautiful ❤❤❤😍😍
It's not so much the quantity or length of time spent at number one. It's the QUALITY of the music. Sixty years later and the songs are as fresh as ever. Beat THAT, lady.
I’m proud to say that I can’t name one Katey Perry song !
How?
If they had released as singles everything McCartney ever wrote, the number of his Number 1s would be 70-90.
I love the face he makes when he's told how many he's had. He's just like 'hm, not bad for an old scouser'.
I love this show because the stars come down to Earth. They are like us for just a lil' bit.
When you're # 1 of all time, nothing else matters, there are no comparisons..
That was a bit rude of Katy Perry, here is this legend, who has spent nearly two years on Number One, and she's is bragging about her achievements, jokingly sure, but it's SIR PAUL McCARTNEY for pity's sake! You don't joke, you worship.
Yeah well Katy Perry has always been pretty self serving and not use to playing second fiddle
I really don't see how she was bragging at all. Her point was clearly that Paul's had a much longer career than her, not to mention he's Sir Paul F***ING McCartney, so anyone would naturally assume he's had many more number ones than her.
Last I counted Paul McCartney had 38 #1s,
Beatles + solo
27 Beatles #1s
11 solo #1s
yeah I was speaking worldwide sorry :)
I should have put that there
I didn't count Peter and Gordon or Mary Hopkins, Badfinger
to get technical, co-wrote a stones hit also
Or Billy J Kramer or Cilla Black.
Paul McCartney ... A MUSICAL GENIUS.
May i just say katy perry has work hard for where she is now she writes beautiful songs she is a nice person in gennral why hate ?
When paul walks away he looks younger
is this just his solo career, or combined with his beatles singles?
wiley man Including the Beatles, who had 17 UK number ones.
I thought he was going to say ‘I am in the room you know!’
If Paul McCartney gave a concert where he played all the songs he wrote that were hits and/or popular, it would last about four days.
And James' single was knocked off from the top by... California gurls :)
Fun fact, Katy didn't have a n1 ever since
Another fun fact Liam Gallagher once said they will become greater than the Beatles and that was day of downfall of Oasis
Paul too
Sir paul mccartney is 71 and still awesome!! I think this ep is quite funny,because it includes two really different kind of pop artists, from different generations :p
After re watching this I don’t understand why people think she was dissing Paul? It’s an interview ... they’re just messing around with one another
If i was Paul I wouldve responded, it's quality, not quantity that matters 😅.. But. Paul is a nice person so I'd know he'd never say that.
True Paul and Ringo are the nicest of the four Beatles. Even George was bitter at times but not these two ❤️
2 Years at number 1??? Try Infinity .
Those three cracked me up. I think it's quite obvious no one tried to be rude, just real fun XD
Paul McCartney still fills stadiums and movies are still made to celebrate his music as he rides his sixth decade in the music business leaving people around the world, young and old, in awe of his incredible talent. Katy Perry is already a young has been that no one pays attention to anymore.
