Sting’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2025]

Moon over Bourbon streetSting36rank/position

Moon over Bourbon street-Sting

This song, released in 2010 by Sting—the Police’s bass-playing lead singer, who likely had many fans among this generation—sings of the moon hanging over a street in New Orleans, a city known as a holy land of jazz.

With its beautiful moon imagery perfectly suited to long autumn nights, the piece is made even more atmospheric by the clear tone of the soprano saxophone.

Sting, Shaggy – Morning Is Coming (Audio)

Sting often tackles themes that question the world we live in or take a cynical angle.

While he previously released several reggae numbers with The Police, this track is a solo release.

He’s teamed up with the legendary Jamaican-American reggae DJ Shaggy.

With Sting’s involvement, it seems to take on that distinctive, richly textured flavor of British rock—something that sets it apart.

Be sure to give it a listen on a hot summer day!

My Funny Friend and MeSting38rank/position

My Funny Friend And Me – Sting

How about listening to and singing Sting’s “My Funny Friend and Me,” with its smooth sound and vocals that enhance a calm and gentle Christmas mood, to spend a solemn Christmas season? “My Funny Friend and Me” was written for a Disney film and released in 2000.

Sting, a British singer-songwriter and actor, was a member of the band The Police until he began his solo career in 1985.

The song was nominated for an Academy Award and reached No.

24 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart.

My Funny ValentineSting39rank/position

“My Funny Valentine” feat. Sting

The well-known standard number was also sung by Sting.

While Sting’s voice can hardly be called a beautiful one, it has a calming charm.

In this performance, the trumpet’s tone is also beautiful and soothing.

Never Coming HomeSting40rank/position

Never Coming Home

“Never Coming Home” is a track included on the album Sacred Love, which I most highly recommend.

Most of the songs on this album incorporate ethnic sounds and elements from niche genres.

In “Never Coming Home,” house music is mixed with arpeggios that evoke a Latin flavor, resulting in a highly distinctive atmosphere.

Although it’s a fast-tempo track, pay attention to its refined sound that never feels the least bit overbearing.

Rushing WaterSting41rank/position

Sting – Rushing Water (Official Video)

Sting, the British artist with worldwide popularity, has continued to earn high praise even after going solo, thanks to his distinctive sound that fuses jazz and rock.

The song I’m introducing here opens his album “The Bridge,” released in September 2021.

Its driving, guitar-forward sound is striking—truly a number that feels like a return to rock.

In fact, the piece portrays inner anxieties and life’s turning points through the motif of a “surging current.” While it depicts the fear of being swept away by an irresistible flow, it also carries a powerful message about breaking free.

Give it a listen when you want to overcome something or need the courage to take a new step forward.

Sacred LoveSting42rank/position

Sacred Love

Sting often incorporates elements of world music, and even in Sacred Love those elements, though subtle, are firmly woven in.

This piece also became the title track of his seventh album, known as one of his masterpieces, and it’s crafted with a distinctive sound rooted in blues and funk.

The intro in particular blends world music with contemporary music, creating a very unique atmosphere.
