Top 10  No.1 Songs For The Longest Time

9 “Every Breath You Take” – The Police (8 weeks)

The iconic song debuted at No. 1 in July 1983. Fun fact: Sting wrote this song at the Jamaican desk from which Ian Fleming wrote James Bond novels.

Sting also knew that the song would be the band’s biggest hit when it was written. He continued, saying that “Every Breath you Take” was an archetypal song. If you have a minor chord followed by a major, you aren’t original.
