A sequel to the best-selling compilation??

Given the massive success of the 2000 compilation 1, there's definitely a market for a solo-Beatles sequel.  One of the nice things about the collection is that it is (relatively) non-subjective.  These are just the hits that reached #1.  Luckily, if one were to compile the #1 hits of Paul, John, George, and Ringo - it's total length, 1 hr. 17 min., would fit on a single CD.  So what would it include...?

   Released 23 November 1970 

   Reached #1 in both the UK Singles and US Billboard Hot 100 Chart

17.) Say Say Say   

   Released 3 October 1983 

   Reached #1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart

18.) Pipes of Peace

   Released 5 December 1983 

   Reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart

19.) Got My Mind Set on You    

   Released 12 October 1987 

   Reached #1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart


As we can see, Paul was the most successful with eleven of the disc's nineteen tracks.  John and George only got three apiece while Ringo only got two.  So overall it is a very uneven listen.  Especially when taken chronologically.  But with the right packaging and marketing, this could probably sell pretty well.  Nowhere as nearly as well as the original however.
