FLASHBACK: PAUL McCARTNEY LAUNCHES 1989 COMEBACK TOUR
It was 31 years ago tonight (November 23rd, 1989) that after a 13-year-stretch, Paul McCartney returned to the North American concert stage for the first of a five-night stand at the L.A. Forum. McCartney's band featured wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, Average White Band co-founder Hamish Stuart on guitar and bass, Former Pretenders lead guitarist Robbie McIntosh , keyboardist Paul “ Wix ” Wickens , and drummer Chris Whitten .
McCartney's last North American trek had been the blockbuster 1976 Wings Over America tour, and Wings ' 1979/1980 tour was canceled after only 20 UK shows following his infamous January 1980 pot bust in Tokyo. Following the Japan debacle and John Lennon 's murder the following December, McCartney continued to record and wrote and starred in the big budget, big screen flop Give My Regards To Broad Street , which was universally panned.
By the time of the 1989 tour, McCartney had released four studio albums — Pipes Of Peace (1983, #15); Give My Regards To Broad Street (1984, #21); Press To Play (1986, #30); and Flowers In The Dirt (1989, #21) — which, to that date, marked his worst charting releases. McCartney also hadn't racked up a Top 20 single hit since 1985's “Spies Like Us” scored him his last Top Ten hit to date. His 1987 double-album solo retrospective All The Best! only rose as high as a dismal Number 62.
For the 1989/1990 world tour — which kicked off with a 28-date European leg on September 26th, 1989 in Oslo, Norway — McCartney, in response to his dwindling chart appearances — packed the comeback show with 50 percent Beatles classics — most of which the “Fab Four,” who retired from the road in 1966, never got the chance to play live.
After such a long time away from the concert stage, McCartney explained how he came about figuring out the 1989 setlist: “What I did was I just sat down and kind of asked myself what I would like to see 'him' play, y'know, if I was just somebody just coming to the show, what I thought I'd like to see the band play. The interesting thing about some of the Beatles stuff was I've never actually performed it onstage before — and we never got to do it with the Beatles, 'cause we stopped touring at that time. I got up on stage and said 'I've never done this one before.' So that's nice, 'cause they're fresh.”
Among the Beatles classics getting their first-ever live airings on the 1989/1990 world tour were “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “Good Day Sunshine,” “Eleanor Rigby,” “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Birthday,” “Back In The U.S.S.R.,” “Hey Jude” and the Abbey Road closing medley — “Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End.”
The shows also featured McCartney's first-ever solo performances of “Can't Buy Me Love,” “Things We Said Today,” and a short-lived dance medley of “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You” — as well as “McCartney's first-ever North American performances of “The Fool On The Hill,” “Got To Get You Into My Life,” and “Let It Be.”
Paul McCartney's setlists since returning to the stage in 1989 have been dominated with Beatles hits and rarities. We asked him if playing the songs ever brings back tough memories for him: “No, I don't really feel that. I used to — just after the Beatles had broken up — I think all of us thought, y'know 'Is there life after the Beatles?' And, 'It's a tough act to follow.' As time's gone by, I've rediscovered the songs. And instead of the sort of anger and the pain that we all felt when we were breaking up, I just like the songs now and they're a pleasure to do.”
McCartney also world premiered songs from that spring's Flowers In The Dirt collection along with assorted Wings hits — and his 1982 Number One hit “Ebony And Ivory.” Guitarist Hamish Stuart usually took over Stevie Wonder 's part during the tour, but on the third night of the L.A. stand — November 27th, 1989 — Stevie Wonder came out to reprise the duet with McCartney.
Multi-instrumentalist Hamish Stuart performed with McCartney from 1987 until the end of 1993. Both fans and Stuart alike were acutely aware of the vocal chemistry between him and McCartney: “Paul did something and I sang with him, and it worked right from the first time that we sang together. I know that Paul did enjoy singing with me. 'And I Love Her,' when we did the acoustic thing that was a blast to do that, and 'Here, There And Everywhere,' and things like that.”
Stuart says that Linda was always an integral part of Paul's music: “Ah, Linda was great. She got a lot of bad press. She wasn't there because she was a great musician, she was there because she was Paul's partner. I remember there was one day early on when she didn't turn up for rehearsals, and it didn't feel right. She was lovely.”
McCartney's 1989/1990 world tour is his most extensive to date, taking in a total of 108 concerts in Europe, North America, Japan, and South America.
McCartney's full setlist was represented on double-disc live set Tripping The Live Fantastic , which was released on October 29th, 1990. The album's single CD releases featured bonus live and soundcheck tracks from the tour.

Tour Information
Inspired by the success of his âcomebackâ tour, which played to 2,843,297 people in 1989-90, Paul McCartney took to the road again on 5th March 1993 in Perth, Australia. The band - Paul and Linda, Robbie McIntosh, Hamish Stuart, Paul âWixâ Wickens and newcomer Blair Cunningham â set off for the year-long trek after theyâd completed the album _Off The Ground_. They toured through the summer of 1993, with an itinerary that included Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom. âAlthough it seems incredible now, a few years ago I was talking with my manager about preparing a retirement-at-50 plan,â Paul laughed at the time. âA couple more records, a farewell tour, but now look at me. These days Iâm talking about the next few albums, the next few tours.â The tour was commemorated with the live album, _Paul Is Live_, released the same year.

How Big Is Taylor Swift?
Taylor Swift?
As big as the Beatles? Michael Jackson? Beyoncé? We crunched the numbers.
By Joe Coscarelli Graphics and additional reporting by Courtney Cox and Fred Bierman
You might have heard: Taylor Swift cannot be stopped.
Her new album , âThe Tortured Poets Department,â sold 2.6 million copies in its opening week last month, earning Swift her eighth Billboard No. 1 album since 2020.
At the Grammy Awards in February, she became the first artist to win album of the year for a fourth time, breaking a tie with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.
And earlier this month, Swiftâs Eras Tour, the 152-date, billion-dollar stadium takeover that began last year, resumed abroad before it returns to the U.S. in October.
Taylor Swift onstage at an Eras Tour show in New Jersey last year.
In 2023, according to the data tracking service Luminate, one in every 78 songs streamed in the U.S. was by Swift.
With a mix of prolific artistic output and relentless business savvy, plus cultural dominance as a celebrity, Swift, 34, has created such a swell of momentum that she is probably more popular â more omnipresent â 19 years into her professional music career than she ever has been.
That is not normal.
Swift fans in the parking lot of MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
But just how big is Taylor Swift, in terms of the all-time pop pantheon?
The singerâs ongoing surge has inspired inevitable debates about how her success stacks up not only against her pop peers, like BeyoncĂ© and Drake, but to the greats that came before them. Even Billy Joel said he could only compare this Swift moment to Beatlemania.
Enraptured Beatles fans in 1964.
It may be impossible to do an exact, one-to-one comparison between Swiftâs career and that of the Beatles â or Madonna, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John or your icon of choice. Besides music being personal and subjective, the nature of success (and how it is calculated) has changed drastically over time. Much of a starâs grip on the zeitgeist is also intangible â a vibe in the air, their influence moving subtly but undeniably through culture.
But the absence of a truly scientific comparison has never stopped the amusement that comes from the eternal sports and pop culture debates of our time: Jordan vs. LeBron (or Kareem, or Kobe). Brady vs. Montana (or Marino, or Mahomes). âStar Warsâ vs. âStar Trekâ (or Harry Potter, or the Marvel Universe).
Even without definitive conclusions, itâs impossible for certain loyalists, haters and obsessives not to wonder how giants match up using whatever evidence might be available.
So with Swiftâs career still peaking late into its second decade, we ran the numbers and analyzed the data, taking stock of what she has accomplished so far â and when â alongside some of the heaviest hitters in each category.
Taylor vs. the Beatles Hit Singles
First, there are the Beatles, who for most music fans still represent the gold standard of pop mania in modern times.
When it comes to Billboard No. 1 singles âŠ
⊠they set the benchmark.
From the early 1960s, when pop music usually came in the form of two-sided vinyl singles, until the Fab Four broke up in 1970, the band released 64 songs that landed on Billboardâs all-genre chart, known as the Hot 100.
In that time, the Beatles helped to usher in the rock ânâ roll revolution â and the album age â by releasing more than a dozen LPs.
But many of the records they set for hit singles still stand today.
THE BEATLES
TAYLOR SWIFT
‘Change’
‘We Are Never Ever Getting
Back Together’ (2012)
Letâs look at how Swiftâs Top 10 hits compare to the Beatlesâ over the course of their careers, starting with the year each of them released their first original single in the U.S.
What is incredible to remember is that almost all of the Beatlesâ success â and their entire artistic output â happened very quickly.
Of the bandâs 35 total Top 10 hits, 32 of them arrived in just eight years. (Three more Top 10s came after the band split.)
The Beatles came in hot, then they were gone â a risk for groups, with their various egos and complications, that Swift will never have to face.
Her career, on the other hand, has been a much slower burn, as she grew from country music ingénue to full-bore pop star.
Swiftâs first Top 10 song (âChangeâ) didnât hit until around her second album, âFearless,â in 2008.
When we focus on No. 1s, the Beatles really dominate, with more chart-toppers than any other artist, a record theyâve held since 1965.
Out of the Beatlesâ 20 No. 1s, the majority also came quickly, with 11 songs , including âI Want to Hold Your Hand,â âLove Me Doâ and âYesterday,â topping the chart in 1964 and 1965, their earliest years as a fresh-faced phenomenon.
Swiftâs first chart-topper, âWe Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,â in 2012, needed a more dramatic twist.
Seven years into her career, she left behind her Nashville sound and collaborated with the pop guru Max Martin, who trails only John Lennon and Paul McCartney with 25 career No. 1s as a songwriter.
The bulk of Swiftâs singles success has come even later, with seven of her 12 total No. 1s, including âFortnight,â âCruel Summerâ and âAll Too Well (Taylorâs Version),â arriving in the last five years , as her career entered its teens.
By that point in their musical lives, the individual Beatles were well into their various solo endeavors, with McCartney experimenting with new wave and George Harrison writing songs about race cars .
But as with any comparison across eras, there must be footnotes and asterisks. When we look at Top 10s from the 1960s, weâre only counting an artistâs actual âsinglesâ â songs released for purchase outside of a full album.
After 1998, the rules began changing to include any song on the radio, regardless of how it was released, and eventually counting digital downloads and streams. By todayâs rules, the Beatles would have even more hits than Billboardâs official count.
Swift, whose new album features 31 songs, each of which hit the Hot 100, has dominated with these new metrics: In 2022, she became the first artist to occupy the entire Top 10 on the Hot 100 at once following the release of âMidnights.â
She repeated and expanded upon that feat last month with songs from âThe Tortured Poets Department,â which filled the top 14 spots on the singles chart.
This might measure a different kind of fervor than the musical ubiquity of the Beatles or others who ruled the radio later â a depth of obsession for Swiftâs fans who stream her music billions of times and purchase it in multiple formats.
The length of Swiftâs career has allowed her into the Beatlesâ vaunted ballpark by giving her the chance to evolve her sound, grow her loyal audience and take full advantage of technological advances.
Yet as wild as it is for the Beatles to have accomplished so much in so little time, Swiftâs longevity might be considered equally impressive in pop music, which often overvalues the new and â especially among female artists â the young.
Taylor vs. Michael Jackson Album Sales
Despite Swiftâs streaming success â and ability to move even vinyl records â the high bar can only be Michael Jackson when it comes to album sales.
Like the Beatles, Jackson reached heights pop had never seen, changing the very nature of stardom, for better and worse, by kicking off the MTV video age and ruling popular culture amid tabloid mayhem.
Unlike the Beatlesâ, Jacksonâs career was relatively long, from his time as a child star in the Jackson 5 until his death in 2009 at 50.

But the meat of Jacksonâs solo career lasted from 1972 through 2001, during which he put out 10 albums and followed a fairly typical arc for a pop career âŠ
⊠the release of starter albums like âGot to Be Thereâ and âBenâ in the early 1970s, then a big breakthrough â âOff the Wallâ in 1979 â and a peak, before Jackson slowed down somewhat, at least commercially.
That peak just happened to be âThrillerâ â arguably the peak of all pop peaks â which came out in 1982, when Jackson was 24.
For albums, going platinum â or selling one million copies â is the go-to stat. Letâs look at Jacksonâs platinum albums vs. Swiftâs , starting with the beginning of their careers as solo artists.
In the four-plus decades since âThrillerâ was released, it has been certified 34 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, making it one of the most successful albums of all time.
Swiftâs biggest albums so far are âFearless,â which is officially 10 times platinum, and â1989,â at nine times platinum.
However, Swiftâs platinum certifications are not totally up to date and do not yet count the sales of her redone âTaylorâs Versionâ releases, which have not been officially tallied by the R.I.A.A.
(Itâs also worth noting that an album âsaleâ now means something different: a set amount of song streams or downloads is considered the equivalent of one album sold.)
Using the more recent sales data available for Swiftâs albums, which can help us estimate where her R.I.A.A. certifications will be when theyâre updated âŠ
⊠she starts to approach â and even pass â Jacksonâs monster platinum totals, giving us a better idea of how Swift will stack up to Jackson long term. Remember, Swiftâs albums have about 30 years less of collective sales when compared to âThrillerâ â and theyâre still being actively promoted.
Swiftâs â1989â â also released when she was 24 â may be the closest thing she has to Jacksonâs biggest blockbuster âŠ
⊠and sheâs been strategic enough to release it twice, elongating what could be considered her career peak by stretching it across two distinct eras nearly a decade apart.
Part of Swiftâs genius as sheâs run up the stats these last few years â releasing nearly 200 songs since the pandemic â is that the music that first made her a star in the mid-to-late 2000s is exploding again alongside her latest hits, giving new fans a fresh entry point.
Already, Swift has released more solo albums than Jackson ever did, and with her productivity â including those two different versions of four of her albums so far â she can approach the King of Pop.
In all, Jacksonâs 10 solo albums have been certified 72 times platinum. Swiftâs 11 original albums have been certified 50 times platinum. But her album sales tell us that number, including Taylorâs Versions, is likely to be closer to 90. And she is very much still going, with âThe Tortured Poets Departmentâ already topping three million in about a month.
Taylor vs. Britney Spears A Pop-Star Arc
Swiftâs extended peak becomes even more of a standout when compared to a more typical pop trajectory â even one with towering highs.
Like Swift, Britney Spears released her debut single at age 16 and came to absolutely dominate the cultural conversation (sometimes in ways that discounted her music in favor of her love life).
Commercially huge in its moment, Spearsâs music career was also relatively short-lived, which tends to be the case more often than not, especially for singers who are known as performers and celebrities more than quote-unquote serious artists.
Swift, unlike Spears, has been firm in branding herself as a songwriter from the beginning, helping stave off some sexist criticism of her music as frivolous.
BRITNEY SPEARS
‘... Baby One More Time’
For reasons that became more complicated as time went on, Spearsâs career sloped downward commercially basically from the moment it began, if youâre looking at album sales .
â ... Baby One More Time ,â Spearsâs 1999 debut, sold impressively. Itâs certified platinum more times than, say, âAbbey Roadâ ...
⊠but itâs not quite â 1989 â even in raw numbers, leaving aside any questions of authorship, artistic merit and staying power.
The diminishing returns of Spearsâs subsequent releases represent a sadly common path for the kind of pop singers that audiences can treat as disposable, with a new model always on the horizon.
Taylor vs. Madonna Era After Era
Madonnaâs ability to reinvent â to persist as a woman in pop â is the reason we talk about artist âerasâ to begin with. Another path-breaking solo pop singer with a huge peak, a long run of domination, a savvy command of marketing and unexpected longevity, Madonna has had a career that is 43 years long and counting.
From her breakthrough second album, âLike a Virgin,â released in 1984, when she was 26, through âBedtime Storiesâ in 1994, Madonna was inescapable, pushing the boundaries of visual and sonic reinvention that are now considered prerequisites for top acts.
‘Vogue’ (1990)
‘This Used To Be
My Playground’(1992)
‘Music’
Letâs look at Madonnaâs Top 10 Billboard hits compared to Swiftâs, which shows how consistent both artists have been over extended periods of time â but also when in their careers each was most in the mix.
Madonna scored No. 1 hits across three decades, beginning with the title track from âLike a Virginâ in 1984.
In her first 10 years dominating the charts , Madonna had 10 No. 1s, ruling radio, MTV and nightclubs. She also appeared in blockbuster movies like âDick Tracyâ and âEvita,â expanding her cultural omnipresence.
Madonnaâs peak was fueled in part by the kind of polarizing, shock-value controversy â think âLike a Virgin,â âLike a Prayerâ or the âSexâ book from 1992 â that Swift has studiously avoided. (Although she, too, has had her share of extra-musical headlines, like the Kanye West V.M.A.s moment in 2009.)
But it was Madonnaâs multifaceted fame as a triple threat that helped lead to many of her No. 1 hits, including â Vogue â (from âIâm Breathless,â the âDick Tracyâ soundtrack album) and âŠ
⊠â This Used to Be My Playground â (the theme from âA League of Their Ownâ).
Swift has also dipped a toe into Hollywood, although her roles in âValentineâs Day,â âCatsâ and David O. Russellâs âAmsterdamâ are less fondly remembered (and have resulted in no hit songs).
The most recent of Madonnaâs 12 No. 1 hits (â Music ,â from 2000) came 19 years into her career â where Swift is now â at the age of 42.
Madonnaâs eight-year comeback period , from âRay of Lightâ in 1998 to âConfessions on a Dance Floorâ in 2005, resulted in six Top 10 hits. She has 38 overall (with none since 2012), compared to Swiftâs 59 so far.
Taylor vs. the Veterans Touring and Awards
Alongside a pop survivor like Madonna, now 65, acts like Elton John, 77, and Bruce Springsteen, 74, are an interesting comparison point for Swift because of their productivity, longevity and critical acclaim â all of which has paid off on the road.
(See also: Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, who are not included here, but would be interesting points of comparison using slightly different metrics.)
While Madonna has slipped on the charts â none of her most recent four albums has gone platinum â she remains a major live draw, a standard give-and-take for a top-tier legacy act.
John and Springsteen, both veterans about 50 years into their careers, also had periods of commercial dominance beginning in the 1970s with albums like âGoodbye Yellow Brick Roadâ (released when John was 26, that pop-star sweet spot) and âBorn to Runâ (from when Springsteen was 25).
But as they settled into pop-star middle age, plateauing commercially, they too have persisted with uber-successful, long-running tours fueled by fan allegiance and critical acclaim.

All figures in 2023-24 dollars
APPROXIMATE GROSS PER SHOW
Letâs look at the total grosses for the best-selling tours by John and Springsteen, which put them in the company of more commercially dominant artists like Swift, Madonna and Jackson.
Johnâs Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, a late-career greatest hits show named for his biggest album, made nearly $1 billion in part because it lasted for six years and more than 300 dates.
Madonnaâs best-selling tour was Sticky & Sweet , from 2008 and 2009. (Like Swiftâs Eras Tour, Madonnaâs recent Celebration Tour highlighted all the periods of her four-decade career, although it was less profitable and played arenas rather than stadiums.)
If you look at how much these major tours made per show, the list changes.
This is where Swift shines, taking in more than $17 million per concert. By the time itâs over, the Eras Tour could bring in over $2 billion in ticket sales.
One notable aspect of Swiftâs career so far is that it seems to bridge the gap between two kinds of artists, both of which can become legacy acts with strong enough catalogs and fan bases: the sustained, hit-making entertainers who may be overlooked, at least at first, as musicians, and the serious singer-songwriters who tend to be more critically lauded.
The Grammy Awards, love them or hate them, are voted on by other musicians and provide a proxy stat for prestige and overall acclaim in the moment.
NOMINATIONS
TOP CATEGORY
Letâs look at Grammy nominations among the crop of top artists weâre considering.
While Swift has already outpaced Jackson and Springsteen, itâs BeyoncĂ© â another artist who has changed the way we talk about pop stars â who has the most nominations ever.
Looking at Grammy wins âŠ
⊠we see artists like John and Drake, another modern juggernaut, drop on this list, having converted fewer of their nominations to victories compared with, say, Jackson and Springsteen.
Springsteen has won 20 Grammys across the decades, from his first for âDancing in the Darkâ in 1985 to his most recent, in 2010, for âWorking on a Dream.â
BeyoncĂ© is the winningest musician ever at the Grammys, where she has been awarded 32 times, topping the conductor Georg Solti (31) and the producer Quincy Jones (28), who was behind Jacksonâs âThriller.â
Yet BeyoncĂ© has still never taken album of the year â where Swift has four trophies â and has won only once in the top categories , which include record, song and album of the year, plus best new artist.
It's been more than a decade since BeyoncĂ© earned a top-tier Grammy, when âSingle Ladies (Put a Ring on It)â was awarded song of the year.
Madonna didnât win her first Grammy until 1992 (for best music video!) and only has scattered victories since, indicating she may have been viewed by her industry peers as more of a commercial force than a musicianâs musician.
It is worth pointing out that the Beatles won just four Grammys while active, including two in the big four categories, out of 20 nominations, demonstrating how hard it is to quantify musical quality and how esteem tends to shift over time. (Three more nominations and wins came after they broke up.)
The band took the top prize just once â for âSgt. Pepperâs Lonely Hearts Club Band,â the first rock album to win, in 1968 â in part because the Grammys, until the late 1960s, were quite conservative, often recognizing old-school, traditional pop acts like Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. (âHelp!â and âRevolverâ both lost to Sinatra.)
Looking at stats like that, you could argue that the most popular musicians are taken more seriously as artists now than ever before, in no small part because of acts like the Beatles, Jackson and Madonna.
Taylor vs. Beyoncé and Drake Modern Heavyweights
While Swiftâs overall pound-for-pound standing in each of the categories weâve looked at puts her in rare historical company, it is notable that two of her most immediate contemporaries â BeyoncĂ©, 42, and Drake, 37 â are also legitimate challengers across the board.
All three artists have maneuvered the industry transition between CDs, downloads and streaming to become defining modern superstars while also maximizing those intangibles like cultural reach and celebrity domination.
BeyoncĂ©, now 23 years into a solo career after her time with the group Destinyâs Child, stands with Swift when it comes to versatility and longevity, plus sustained commercial dominance.
‘I Am ...
Sasha Fierce’
‘The Tortured
Poets Department’
‘Cowboy
Carter’
Letâs look at their album sales as solo artists side by side.
BeyoncĂ©âs commercial peak (so far) came with â I Am⊠Sasha Fierce ,â released in 2008, when she was 27. That album has sold more than nine million copies.
Since then , while selling fewer records, she has focused on different pillars of legacy, pioneering the visual album format (âBeyoncĂ©,â âLemonadeâ), experimenting with genre (âRenaissance,â âCowboy Carterâ) and pushing the limits of an extravagant live spectacle (Coachella, the Renaissance World Tour).
Both Beyoncé and Swift have had big-selling No. 1 albums this year , during fresh periods of productivity.
Like Madonna and Swift, BeyoncĂ© has continued to stretch the limits of what a womanâs pop career can hold, landing two chart-topping singles in her 40s (with âBreak My Soul,â in 2022, and again earlier this year, with the country-influenced âTexas Hold âEmâ).
She has also performed twice at the Super Bowl â something Swift has yet to do â a stage where acts like Madonna, Jackson and Springsteen have solidified their unquantifiable grasp on culture.
And then there is Drake, a relentless hitmaker. Like Swift, Drake has optimized his output to take advantage of the way streaming has reshaped the industry and its accolades to set new records, including 328 total entries on the Hot 100.
Swift, with 232, is the only other artist with at least 200.
Featured Artist
Drake has 78 Top 10 hits so far in his career âŠ
⊠and 13 No. 1s stemming from a variety of projects: official albums, less official mixtapes, streaming-only âplaylists,â one-off singles, collaborative albums and more.
As a rapper and frequent guest artist, Drake, unlike Swift, has appeared on many hits by others âŠ
⊠like his first No. 1, on Rihannaâs âWhatâs My Name?â in 2010, accounting for a wide reach beyond his own releases.
Yet somehow Drake and Swift have never released a song together, despite sharing a certain canniness and expressing mutual appreciation for one another.
Even in his recent battle with Kendrick Lamar, Drake made clear that he sees Swift as his only real contemporary competition. (He has also rapped about having âmore slaps than the Beatlesâ and frequently invokes Jacksonâs success as a touchstone.)
Drake, BeyoncĂ© and Swift all have this modern characteristic in common: Theyâre each actively playing for legacy, one eye on history and another on the record books. Ambitious and autonomous, theyâre proudly writing their rĂ©sumĂ©s in real time, juicing Billboard numbers and even gunning for accolades.
As a shrewd student of music and fame, Swift may know that she will never achieve the exact kind of domination that the Beatles, Jackson and Madonna had at the height of global monoculture, when everyone might pay attention to the same thing. But sheâs certainly trying, taking bits and pieces from eachâs career and making sure to maximize her work and reach in all the ways that werenât available then.
She cares how sheâs perceived and how sheâll be remembered when the noise fades and all thatâs left are the songs â and the stats.
So far, itâs working.

From the “ New World Tour ” tour book, remembering the 1989/90 tour:
I remember Milan was what we called a designer audience. Everyone in town seems to be a clothes designer, all these guys who are about my age, but rich and famous in their field so they have a kind of detachment. For us, there’s a couple of numbers, Let It Be or The Long And Winding Road, where you get used to the audience holding up lighters, it’s lovely, you just feel ‘I reached them’. But the designer audience, they don’t smoke so, naturally, they don’t have lighters. Which makes it look as if the guys in suits don’t like Let It Be. It isn’t true, of course, but on stage you’re wrestling with all these feelings about what’s going on. I got a bit thrown by all that early in the show. Anyway we figured the promoter was expecting a few free suits out of that night. Â Normally, we make sure the ‘special guests’ get seats by the mixing desk so that the kids can come up the front. I’ll never forget in Barcelona with The Beatles when we played the Plaza De Toros and all our audience was outside — they couldn’t afford to get in and the Lord Mayor, the councillors and every bullfighter in town, the nobs, were all in there. We only met our audience in the tunnel the bus went through to get into the gig. Â But, of course, when you’re my age, a lot of the fans are nobs, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I have to change my mind-set. I mean, when I go to a Prince concert I suppose I look like a nob. I’ll have a reasonable suit on, I won’t be dancing and shouting, I’m sat there appreciating it, a bit embarrassed cos everybody else is dancing, and I feel like telling everyone around me, No, really, I’m into it, don’t worry. But maybe Prince is looking down thinking, That bastard McCartney doesn’t think much of it then. Paul McCartney
