[CRAZY-HORSE]

im surprised that that aweful "fourfive seconds" crap by Rihanna/Kanye West/Paul McCartney only sat at #18, would have put that one in the top5 for sure

I did read somewhere recently that even though Macca only plays acoustic guitar on that track that he earned four million USD (US dollars) from that track alone...
what wasn't in the article was whether that was his one off fee for playing on it and adding his name to it, or whether that was royalties rom sales/airplay etc etc,...

either way, im guessing he probably made more money(I not the same amount) from that one song as from his latest release "new" which was in and out of the charts
quicker than a John who was told by his hooker she has 'the clap'!
