Say Say Say enhanced music video for the song written and performed by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson was released in October 1983. The lead single to McCartney's 1983 album Pipes of Peace was produced by George Martin. The song was recorded during the production of McCartney's 1982 Tug of War album, about a year before the release of "The Girl Is Mine", the pair's first duet from Jackson's album Thriller (1982).
After its release in October 1983, "Say Say Say" became Michael Jackson's seventh top-ten hit inside a year. It was a number one hit in the United States (his sixth number-one single there), Canada, Norway, Sweden, and several other countries, reached number two in the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten in Australia, Austria, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and over 20 other nations. In 2013, Billboard magazine listed the song as the 41st biggest hit of all time on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It has also been voted the ninth-best collaboration of all time in a Rolling Stone readers poll.
The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in December 1983, representing sales of 500,000 copies. The single was promoted with an influential music video directed by Bob Giraldi. The short film centers around two con artists called "Mac and Jack" (played by McCartney and Jackson).
