'Synchronicity' was a chart-topping album in 1983 for which of these bands?

'Synchronicity' is the fifth and final studio album by English rock band the Police, released on 17 June 1983 by A&M Records. The band's most successful release, the album includes the hit singles 'Every Breath You Take', 'King of Pain', 'Wrapped Around Your Finger', and 'Synchronicity II'. The album's title and much of the material for the songs were inspired by Arthur Koestler's book 'The Roots of Coincidence' (1972).

At the 1984 'Grammy Awards' the album was nominated for a total of five awards, including 'Album of the Year', and won three. At the time of its release and following its tour, the Police's popularity was at such a high that they were arguably, according to BBC and 'The Guardian' newspaper, the 'biggest band in the world'.

'Synchronicity' reached number one on both the UK 'Albums Chart' and the US 'Billboard' 200, and sold over eight million copies in the US. In 2009, 'Synchronicity' was inducted into the 'Grammy Hall of Fame'. In 2023, the album was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.'

The Police were an English rock band formed in London in 1977. For most of their history the line-up consisted of primary songwriter Sting (lead vocals, bass guitar), Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (drums, percussion). The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
