On this day, December 10, 1983, the duet “Say Say Say” by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson became the #1 song in America. The catchy pop track held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks, from December 10 to January 13.

Featured on McCartney’s album Pipes of Peace, the song showcased the chemistry between two musical icons and became an international hit, reaching #1 in Canada, France, Spain, Norway, and Sweden. The accompanying music video, with its vaudeville-inspired storyline, added to the song’s global appeal and remains a memorable piece of 80s pop culture.
