Thanks to his collaboration with Kanye West, Paul McCartney is back in the Top 40 for the first time since 1989, when McCartney's "My Brave Face" (from Flowers in the Dirt) hit #25. "Only One," West's song featuring McCartney on keyboard, has debuted on the Hot 100 at #35. Coming almost 51 years after the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" hit the charts in 1964, that gives McCartney a new record as performer with the longest span of years placing singles in the Top 40. (Billboard) Meanwhile, McCartney has announced a vinyl release for his song "Hope for the Future" from the video game Destiny. On Tuesday, McCartney will release a 12" with the original track and four remixes, including a thrash remix. (Rolling Stone)

Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor who battled John McCain for the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination and is likely to run for President again next year, has sharp criticism for Jay-Z and Beyoncé in his new book God, Guns, Grits and Gravy. Huckabee praises Beyoncé as a singer and dancer but says that her more provocative dance moves would be "best left for the privacy of her bedroom." He continues, "Jay-Z is a very shrewd businessman, but I wonder: Does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object?" As Billboard notes, though, the passage reflects an incorrect assumption that Jay-Z manages Beyoncé's career; in fact, in recent years Beyoncé's been clear about the fact that, inspired by Madonna, she manages her own career.
