Hooking up with Rihanna and Kanye West has proven to be a good thing for Paul McCartney. The trio’s collaboration “FourFiveSeconds” landed at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, which is the first time the former Beatle has been in the Top Five in over 31 years. According to Billboard.com, it’s actually been 31 years, one month and one week to be exact.

Can you remember his last top five effort? Hint: He wasn't alone then, either.

Sir Paul currently holds the record for the longest gap between Top Five hits, besting Santana, who waited 28 years, eight months and one week between Top Five hits (“Black Magic Woman” in 1971 and “Smooth” in 1999.)

As for McCartney’s last Top Five hit? Well, that would be “Say Say Say” with Michael Jackson, which spent six weeks at number one between December 1983 and January 1984.
