Which Wings live album reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart?

The story behind the answer

Wings over America was the Wings live album that reached No. 1 on the US Billboard albums chart.

Released in December 1976, the triple live album documented Paul McCartney and Wings during their 1975–76 world tour, including the band's first extensive North American concerts. Its set list combined Wings material with songs from McCartney's solo career and five Beatles songs, giving the former Beatle a major onstage connection to his past.

The album topped the US Billboard 200 in early 1977 and became the last in a run of five consecutive US chart-topping albums associated with Wings. It was also notable as the first triple album by a group to reach No. 1 in the United States. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at No. 8.

Back in the U.S. was a later live collection, issued in 2002, while Rockshow was a concert film assembled from the same touring era. Tripping the Live Fantastic was a 1990 McCartney live album, not a Wings release.
