The Perfect Sting & The Police Playlist is a curated custom playlist created by Exaltist Ethan, of music from The Police and Sting, revised and released to Spotify. This playlist has undergone several revisions, mainly focusing on both critical-acclaim and popularity of songs.

Rate Your Music, Last.fm, Wikipedia and Spotify were all used to determine the track listing. Giving into account track ratings, listeners, scrobbles, coverage on Wikipedia, chart positions, album and single certifications and overall plays on Spotify.

Meant to be the starting basis for anyone to listen to and get into Sting's music, its length, being slightly shorter than eighty minutes per album, means it can be burned onto two CD-R recordable compact discs.
