Sting’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2025]

Shape Of My HeartSting1rank/position

Sting – Shape of My Heart (Official Music Video)

Sting, the singer-songwriter who represents the United Kingdom.

Among his works, this may be the most beloved medium-tempo ballad in Japan.

This piece portrays the feelings of a poker player who seeks the mystery of fate rather than victory.

In the lyrics, various meanings are assigned to the suits of the cards, and in the line where he sings that hearts do not represent his own heart, you can sense the protagonist’s profound loneliness and philosophy.

This intellectual worldview is beautifully expressed by Dominic Miller’s wistful guitar riff.

Included on the 1993 album “Ten Summoner’s Tales,” the song is also widely known as the ending theme of the film “Léon: The Professional.” Be sure to check it out alongside the film’s moving finale.

Englishman in New YorkSting2rank/position

Sting – Englishman In New York

Sting, also known as the lead vocalist of The Police, has captivated many fans in his solo career with a more refined musical sensibility.

Among his works, the song I want to listen to when I’m in a sentimental autumn mood is a track from his 1987 album …Nothing Like the Sun.

The piece portrays the solitude of an English gentleman living in a foreign land, as well as the dignity of staying true to one’s own way.

The urbane, slightly melancholic saxophone makes you feel as if you’re walking a New York street in the autumn wind.

Even if you don’t quite fit in with those around you, remaining true to yourself seems to mirror the autumn air—sorrowful yet crisp and composed.

The album that includes this track won the 1988 BRIT Award and was also used in a car commercial in the UK.

Seven DaysSting3rank/position

Sting – Seven Days

Sting, the singer-songwriter also known as the bassist and vocalist of The Police who was active in the UK around 1980.

The song Seven Days from his fifth album Ten Summoner’s Tales leaves a pleasant, lingering impression with its airy ensemble.

The arrangement proceeds entirely in 5/4 time, and you can feel melodies and tensions that could only arise from this beat.

It’s an emotional number I recommend to both fans of odd time signatures and those who aren’t—give it a listen.

RussiansSting4rank/position

Sting – Russians

A track from Sting’s debut album The Dream of the Blue Turtles.

Released in 1985, Russians is a song that sounds the alarm about Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) between the Soviet Union and the United States at the time, addressing Cold War foreign policy.

Sting’s rich, velvety vocals suit the theme perfectly, making it a well-balanced piece.

Fields Of GoldSting5rank/position

Sting – Fields Of Gold

The classic song released in 1993 by British artist Sting is a number marked by a beautifully emotive melody and unforgettable lyrics.

Set against the backdrop of a barley field, it celebrates the eternal love of two lovers and conveys the importance of memories that transcend time.

Included on the album Ten Summoner’s Tales, it became a worldwide hit.

It has been covered by many artists, with Eva Cassidy’s version in particular receiving high acclaim.

Perfect for the calming mood of twilight, this piece is recommended when you want to reflect on memories with someone special or simply sink into a peaceful state of mind.

RoxanneSting6rank/position

Roxanne

Sting, a UK-born artist who gained worldwide popularity as the frontman of The Police.

Since going solo, he has released many genre-defying tracks, and among them are some remakes of songs from his Police days.

One I particularly recommend is Roxanne.

This version is arranged symphonically, giving it a more brooding atmosphere.

The lyrics, which depict the delicate love of a man who falls for a prostitute, match the mood of the music perfectly—be sure to check it out.

All for LoveBryan Adams, Rod Stewart & Sting7rank/position

Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Sting – All For Love (Non-Film Version)

This song features a collaboration of 1980s stars Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting.

A bona fide classic that spent three consecutive weeks at number one in the U.

S.

, it served as the theme song for Disney’s live-action film The Three Musketeers.

It’s a rock ballad with the trio’s wild vocals sounding irresistibly cool.
