Paul McCartney Returns To Billboard’s Adult Contemporary Airplay Chart With ‘Days We Left Behind’

Paul McCartney has returned to Billboard’s Adult Contemporary radio airplay chart as “Days We Left Behind” debuts at No. 22 on the list dated April 18.

The song previews the Beatles legend’s upcoming album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, due May 29.

McCartney initially made the chart in the 1960s with The Beatles, who earned three top 10s in 1970-76, led by the No. 1 “Let It Be.” “Days We Left Behind” marks his highest debut on Adult Contemporary since 1978, when “With a Little Luck,” with Wings, entered at No. 21.

“This is very much a memory song for me,” McCartney shared in a statement announcing the new album. “The album title, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, comes from a lyric in this track. I was thinking just that, about the days I left behind, and I do often wonder if I’m just writing about the past, but then I think, ‘How can you write about anything else?'”

“It’s just a lot of memories of Liverpool,” he continued. “It involves a bit in the middle about John [Lennon] and Forthlin Road, which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there. I used to live in a place called Speke, which is quite working class. We didn’t have much at all, but it didn’t matter because all the people were great and you didn’t notice you didn’t have much.”
