BMI President and CEO Mike OвЂ™Neill stated: вЂњFor the first time in 22 years, BMI has a new top song in our repertoire with StingвЂ™s timeless hit вЂEvery Breath You Take,вЂ™ a remarkable achievement that solidifies its place in songwriting history.вЂќThe song ranked No.вЂ‰84 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
