I don't care for Michael Jackson, imo he is everything wrong with (mainstream / Top 40) Pop and I think he help ruin it, but I understand there are people out there who idol worship him and think he's the greatest.
Paul McCartney has a better chance than most to be remember for his skill as a songwriter/composer, he wrote some memorable melodies, and if you broke down the basic element of Art Music you have the melody (that's oversimplifying it a bit) but that is what the more well-known composers noted for like J.S. Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven or Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky they are known for are the memorable melodies they composed. I don't put composers of art music on so high a pedestal to think only they can compose music, even though it's structurally different, what Paul wrote is just as good. There is no predicting the future, whether generations from now will listen to even care about Art Music or Rock n Roll music no one really knows. So predicting Paul McCartney will be noted as the Mozart of the 20th century is a bit tenuous for not knowing what the future will hold.
