Memory Almost Full is a studio album by Paul McCartney released in the United Kingdom on June 4, 2007 and in the United States a day later. The album is McCartney's first release on Starbucks' Hear Music label (it is also the first release on the newly formed label). The album was produced by David Kahne and recorded at Abbey Road Studios, Henson Recording Studios, AIR Studios, Hog Hill Mill Studios and RAK Studios between October 2003 and February 2007.

While it was announced that copies of the album sold in the Starbucks coffee shops in the U.K. would not be counted by the Official UK Charts, due to the fact that they are not registered in the copies counting system, Memory Almost Full still managed to hit #5 on the UK Album Charts. The album fell out of the charts in the UK after only five weeks, despite heavy promotion in trade press, television, radio, and Internet.

In the U.S. the album debuted at #3 with about 161,000 copies sold, making it McCartney's highest-charting album there since 1997's Flaming Pie. The album has sold over 1 million copies worldwide to date.

McCartney is reportedly aiming to sign a long term deal with Starbucks due to the success that Memory Almost Full has enjoyed.
