It was also given lukewarm responses by Paul McCartney’s fellow former Beatles.It was, however, a commercial success. Ram peaked at number two in the US, held off by Carole King’s Tapestry, although it spent five months in the top 10 and was certified platinum. In the United Kingdom it reached number one.Additionally, the US single Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey became McCartney’s first post-Beatles number one single.
