On July 9, 1983, The Police’s iconic song “Every Breath You Take” climbed to the top of the charts, becoming the #1 song in America, a position it held until September 2. This haunting track also reached #1 in the UK, Canada, Ireland, and Israel. The song’s success was further cemented when it won the Billboard Charts “Song of the Year.” Known for its distinctive guitar riff and Sting’s evocative lyrics, it remains one of the most memorable hits of the 1980s.
