Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson's "Say Say Say" replaced Lionel Richie's "All Night Long (All Night)" at the top of the US chart to begin a five-week sojourn at no.1. It had earlier stalled at no.2 on the British chart where it was unable to beat Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" to the top. The pair's previous single "The Girl is Mine" stalled at no.2 on the US chart in January that year, spending three weeks behind Men at Work's "Down Under".
Certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, the song was promoted with a music video directed by Bob Giraldi. The video, filmed in Santa Ynez Valley, California, features cameo appearances by Linda McCartney, La Toya Jackson and Harry Dean Stanton. The short film centers around two con artists called "Mac and Jack" (played by McCartney and Jackson), and is credited for the introduction of dialogue and storyline to music videos.
