Pipes of Peace is the fourth
studio album by English singer-songwriter
Paul McCartney, released in 1983. As the follow-up to the popular
Tug of War, the album came close to matching the commercial success of its predecessor in Britain but peaked only at number 15 on America's
Billboard 200 albums chart. While
Pipes of Peace was the source of international hit singles such as "
Say Say Say" (recorded with
Michael Jackson) and the
title track, the critical response to the album was less favourable than that afforded to
Tug of War.
