DEF: The Police “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”
The Police‘s 1980 album Zenyatta Mondatta produced two Top 10 hits on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, both of which peaked at number 10. On this date in 1981, the second of those two hits, “Don’t Stand So Close to Me,” rose to its peak position, where it would spend three weeks. Today, “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” by the Police is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
