When it comes to music, Sting is undoubtedly a household name, with a number of massive hits under his belt. Born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, the singer was the frontman of The Police from 1977 to 1986, before going on to enjoy a highly successful solo career, penning iconic tracks like "Fields of Gold" and "If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free".

But have you ever wondered what music the 73-year-old legend himself enjoys? The topic recently sparked discussion among fans on Reddit, who were intrigued by Sting's top 10 favourite songs, which he revealed on BBC Radio 2's "Tracks Of My Years" in 2021.

One fan wrote: "'Don't You Want Me Baby is one of my karaoke songs. I do actually go to karaoke occasionally, I enjoy it. That's the song I choose.

I love the line 'you were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar', it always gets people's heads turned'. Imagine being drunk at karaoke and Sting hops up onto the stage." Another commented: "Interesting list, although that's only because most of the songs were pretty popular when The Police were as well, haha." So, what made Sting's top 10 list?
