5)=PAUL McCARTNEY - 6 @@@

 

@@@ = Paul McCartney's name is credited on the Covers of 6 No.1

Albums. However, 'Ram', (1971), was not Solo - it is a Paul & Linda

McCartney Album. 'Band On The Run', (1973 - No.1 in 1974), is a Paul

McCartney & Wings Album. But, I've added those 2 in. After all - Cliff

Richard gets 3 Cliff Richard & The Shadows Albums added to his 'Solo'

Total. (I've not added in 'Venus & Mars' (1975), for that No.1 Album

was just credited to Wings).
