"BREATH" CONTROL

Sony/ATV boss Jon Platt, savoring his Publisher of the Year win, joins pop-rock icon and honoree Sting at the BMI Pop Awards. SATV saw 28 of its writers honored over the course of the evening. Sting, meanwhile, was honored for the 15m radio plays earned by most-performed-ever song "Every Breath You Take," which, in fact, is played somewhere with every breath you take. Later, Cherry Cherry Boom Boom did a remix of this photograph. You can read more about the night at the story link below. Now, on to the massive group shot!
