Why it is here
- The song spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983 and was that year's top-ranked single, giving it permanent catalog standing rather than a new-news standing. source
- The song stayed in music news through 2026 as Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland's royalties claim against Sting was heard at London's High Court, with reports in January 2026 that Sting had paid his former Police bandmates more than $800,000 since the suit was filed. source
- Sting continued to perform the song live in 2026 on his Sting 3.0 trio tour, with venues billing "Every Breath You Take" among the hits in the set. source
