THE POLICE

RIAA PLATINUM MUSIC INDUSTRY RELIC

Every Breath You Take – The Singles

This is not simply a framed record award.

This is a certified music industry relic — a tangible artifact from the era when physical records defined success and platinum status marked global cultural impact.

Offered here is an authentic RIAA Certified Platinum Sales Award presented to A&M Records commemorating the sale of more than 1,000,000 copies of:

“Every Breath You Take – The Singles”

Few objects represent the commercial dominance of The Police more directly than an original RIAA award issued to the record label itself.

Unlike retail collectibles or decorative reproductions, this piece was produced specifically for the music industry — intended for the offices and executives who built the success of one of the most iconic bands of the modern era.

This places the award not merely in the category of memorabilia — but in the category of true recording industry artifacts.

This is a Music Industry Relic.

A surviving piece from the golden age of physical media — when platinum certification meant millions of physical albums placed into the hands of listeners around the world.
