The Police

• Widely used as a wedding song, Sting's composition with The Police is actually about obsession, jealousy, and surveillance, not love.
• Chosen simply because Stewart Copeland liked the word. It reflected the 'policing' or controlling of their own musical destiny and had a stark, authoritative sound.

• Awarded the British Group by British Phonographic Industry (Brit) in 1982

• Had 5 UK Chart Number 1s.
• Had 1 US Chart Number 1.
• Included in UK Number Ones.
• Included in Johnnie's Jukebox chart. For more details visit BBC.
