He met John Lennon and the Quarrymen at fifteen and soon joined the band as a rhythm guitarist. The band was renamed The Beatles in 1960. 

The lineup included McCartney, Lennon, George Harrison, and in 1962 they added Ringo Starr. By early 1964, the Beatles were sparking “Beatlemania” worldwide, dominating the U.S. and U.K. pop markets and breaking multiple sales records.

McCartney and Lennon co-wrote their early hits, including “Love Me Do” and several others. The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time, with certified sales of over 183 million units in the U.S. and estimated sales of 600 million units worldwide. 

They hold records for most number-one albums on the U.K. Albums Chart, most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and most singles sold in the U.K. In 1988, The Beatles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 1988, and all four prominent members were inducted individually between 1994 and 2015. Between 1964 and 1970, the Beatles appeared in five major motion pictures.

Between 1960 and 1970, McCartney performed on twelve studio albums and wrote or co-wrote some of the most popular songs in pop music history, including “Yesterday”, “Can’t Buy Me Love”, and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” 

In 1965, Queen Elizabeth II appointed McCartney and the other Beatles as Members of the Order of the British Empire. The band performed their last commercial concert at the end of their 1966 U.S. tour. 

The band’s last recorded album was 1969’s “Abbey Road.” The Beatles then fell out over business disagreements, and McCartney announced his departure from the group on April 10, 1970. A suit was filed for the band’s formal dissolution on December 31, 1970.
