Sting And The Police Reach New Career Peaks Together
Sting and The Police will, of course, forever be intertwined, though the two are separate musical acts. Sting got his start as the frontman of the English rock group, but after finding great success with his bandmates, he broke out and enjoyed a hugely fruitful solo career, one which continues to this day.
The two artists appear together on the rankings in the United Kingdom with some regularity, as the simply-titled compilation The Very Best Of is credited to both Sting and The Police. The project includes music from the pair of beloved figures.
The Very Best Of returns to one tally in that country this week, and as it does, the set reaches a special new high.
The compilation reappears on the Official Albums Streaming chart, the list of the most played projects on popular platforms like Spotify and Apple Music throughout the U.K. this frame. The Very Best Of returns at No. 89 this week.
Both Sting and The Police have only ever reached the Official Albums Streaming chart with The Very Best Of , their joint greatest-hits compilation. Its new No. 89 placement now stands as the collection's all-time high point. That means both acts reach a new career peak at the same time.
The compilation only debuted on the Official Albums Streaming chart in January of this year. It opened at No. 99, in second-to-last place, earning Sting and The Police a debut appearance. Since then, it has never risen above No. 91 in the many frames it's lived on this streaming-only roster — until this frame. Decades as a Chart Success
While The Very Best Of may be new to the Official Albums Streaming ranking, the project has already spent decades as a commercial success throughout the U.K. The set earned both acts a No. 1 on the main list of the most consumed albums in the country in 2002. It reached the summit dozens of weeks into its run, after opening just outside the top 10 back in 1997.

Beverley Ladies Day: 'Ladies by day, devils later'
Every August hoards of women donned in colourful couture and flamboyant fascinators descend on the quaint East Yorkshire market town of Beverley for Ladies Day. While the racecourse sparks with glitz and glamour, some brace themselves for the aftermath. It's the stuff of street sweeper's nightmares. Stilettos are strewn on the kerbside. Overfilled wheelie bins plague the pavements, which are awash with empty pizza boxes and polystyrene takeaway food cartons. Each year thousands descend on Beverley Racecourse for Ladies Day, where women dress up to the nines from the hats all the way down to the high heels. "It's nice to just get dressed up and be glam for the day," says Jodie Crawford, from Hull. She sports a ruby red minidress with a matching handbag, fascinator and fluffy thong sandals. Alcohol forms a big part of the occasion, although Beverley Racecourse is keen to stress free water is offered at its bars. Management say staff also work closely with the town's pubs and bars, and they are in close contact with Beverley Street Angels - volunteers who help keep revellers safe. "It's very crazy," says Ms Crawford. "Obviously we've been drinking all day so it's a bit different. You go from being a lady for the day and then you go back and just let loose." For some, drinking begins at 09:00 BST and 12 hours later, the booze-fuelled carnage spills across the town, leaving an indelible stain on the streets. We see one woman attempting a cartwheel on the historic market cross. As the night draws on there are more chaotic scenes as the mirth and merriment turns even murkier. Another woman's arm is covered in blood and her friend is collapsed behind her in a ditch. Thierry Condette was baking late into the night in his French patisserie. Looking disgusted, he says: "When you see what's happening, it's unbelievable. "It's ladies day in the morning, but they're devils at night." He is cautious about opening the door to his shop on Lairgate and describes the outside frivolities as "a zoo". "It's not Ladies Day anymore. It is definitely something different," he says. While Mr Condette is not a fan, other businesses have been licking their lips to the sound of the tills ringing in the hat shops and boutiques which have seen roaring trades in the days leading up to the event. So too the pubs. After the last race finishes, the town's Saturday market sees hundreds queuing for the pubs. Aiden Hazlewood, the general manager of the Kings Head pub in Market Place, says his staff embrace the "full-on day" that comes with the event but he says they also brace themselves for the "carnage" that follows. "It's the biggest calendar event of the year for the locals, they love it, everyone comes here. "It's a lot of fun but it is carnage." Mr Hazlewood adds: "People forget how to [be] humans. Sometimes people will use the outside beer garden as a toilet and sometimes people even use the restaurant as a toilet." One resident says the areas around his property becomes a public toilet during the event. He tells us: "The last two years... people leaving the races have come down the lane, and basically it's young lads, urinating up against the wall. "They've even gone through my gate and urinated through there. They're just very, very drunk people." East Riding of Yorkshire Council teams waste no time in getting to work, clearing up after the revellers. A spokesperson said: "Our experienced street cleansing team undertakes the clean-up work in the early hours of the morning, drawing on many years of experience to ensure the Westwood area and town is quickly returned to its usual welcoming state. "Extra wheeled bins are positioned near the race course and routes back to town for attendees to use, helping to facilitate the clean up process." A Beverley Racecourse spokesperson added: "We want everyone to enjoy their day but sensibly."

Taylor Swift Nearly Doubles Trump's Podcast Ratings
Taylor Swift appeared last night on her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's, podcast to promote her upcoming 12th studio album, 'The Life of a Show Girl,' and a lot of people tuned in. The premiere live stream of the two-hour New Heights podcast drew up to 1.3 million viewers in its first hour, Variety reported. That's nearly double the 800,000 viewers who tuned in to watch Donald Trump's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience during its first hour last October, according to CNN. 'I owe a lot to this podcast,' Swift said during the episode. 'This podcast got me a boyfriend.' Views of Swift's appearance are still climbing and could eventually make it one of the most-watched podcasts ever. It also highlights a shift in the media landscape, where celebrities—and even politicians—are skipping traditional outlets like late-night TV and turning to podcasts instead. Amazon recently restructured its audio business with the goal of boosting sponsorships of its creator-led shows, which include New Heights. The new record could also add fuel to the one-sided beef President Donald Trump has against the pop star. About 1 hour and 44 minutes in, Swift's fans crashed YouTube's stream of the episode. 'Shoutout all the 92%ers and swifties for actually helping us break the internet,' the podcast's X account posted last night. Swift's New Heights episode had already passed 11 million views just 19 hours after it dropped. For context, the most-watched Joe Rogan Experience episode ever is Elon Musk's 2018 appearance, with 69 million views, while Trump's episode from October currently sits at 59 million. However, there is likely at least one person not happy with Swift's success last night. Trump has been a big hater of the singer ever since she endorsed Kamala Harris for president during the election last year. 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!,' he wrote on Truth Social just days after her endorsement in September. He took another jab in February, referencing the Super Bowl, where Swift was reportedly booed. 'The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift,' he posted on Truth Social. 'She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!' And just this month, Trump brought her up again in a post praising actress Sydney Sweeney. 'Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT,' wrote Trump.
