Sting then tried to succeed as a solo artist. The first fans, those who loved this new and unique blend of pop and reggae, aren't so fond of Sting's solo records.

Oasis is now in first position. From a money point of view, yes. The release of The Beatles' last album helped maintain Paul Mac Cartney at the top of the richest British artists' ranking. But Sting could also rely on the catalogue of hits he composed for The Police. Nevertheless, the ex-Police members would probably be looking forward to getting the jackpot again.
