Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Greatest Hits' was released in 1992, The Police had disbanded for nearly a decade after their final studio album 'Synchronicity' in 1983. This compilation came during a period when former members were pursuing solo careers, with Sting achieving significant success. It encapsulates the band's evolution through their most impactful hits, serving both as a retrospective and a bridge to their individual projects.
