Waking Up the Neighbours

The performance of Adams' 1987 album Into the Fire was felt as somewhat of a disappointment.{{Cite web|last=Giles|first=Jeff|date=September 23, 2016|title=How Bryan Adams Rebounded With 'Waking Up the Neighbours'|url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/bryan-adams-waking-up-the-neighbours/|access-date=2021-07-31|website=Ultimate Classic Rock|language=en|archive-date=July 31, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210731142603/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/bryan-adams-waking-up-the-neighbours/|url-status=live}} Although it reached No. 7{{Cite magazine|title=Bryan Adams|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/bryan-adams/chart-history/tlp/|access-date=2021-07-31|magazine=Billboard|archive-date=November 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117154602/https://www.billboard.com/artist/bryan-adams/chart-history/tlp/|url-status=live}} on the Billboard album chart and No. 2 in his native Canada,{{Cite web|title=Bryan Adams – Into The Fire|url=http://www.jimvallance.com/01-music-folder/albums-folder/pg-album-adams-05-into-the-fire.html|access-date=2021-07-31|website=www.jimvallance.com|archive-date=September 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210925162521/http://www.jimvallance.com/01-music-folder/albums-folder/pg-album-adams-05-into-the-fire.html|url-status=live}} it fell short of the massive commercial success enjoyed by his fourth album Reckless released in 1984. Into the Fire was also Adams' last album recorded together with his longtime collaborator Jim Vallance; their songwriting partnership ended in August 1989.

An attempt to record a new album was made in 1988 with Steve Lillywhite producing, but nothing from these sessions was released. Over a year after that, Adams joined forces with Robert John "Mutt" Lange, previously known for his work with AC/DC, The Cars, Foreigner, and Def Leppard to start work on Adams' next album, recording at Battery Studios in England and the Warehouse Studios in Canada. Recording began in March 1990, and along with mixing, finished in June 1991.{{cite web |title=Bryan Adams biography |url=http://www.canehdian.com/artistlinks/artists/bryanadams.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516052807/http://www.canehdian.com/artistlinks/artists/bryanadams.html |archive-date=2008-05-16 |access-date=2008-06-24 |publisher=Canehdian.com}}{{Better source needed|date=July 2021}} According to Adams, Lange changed his way of thinking about the songwriting process making him work meticulously on each song. As a result, the recording process went on for more than a year, and the release of album, originally scheduled for the fall of 1990, had to be postponed several times. Lange is credited on all 15 tracks of the album including four songs whose demos were originally recorded with Vallance.

Waking Up the Neighbours was released after a number of delays in September 1991. The album peaked at number six on the Billboard 200.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/esearch/searchResult.jsp?keyword=Bryan+Adams&x=0&y=0&exposeNavigation=true&applicationName=bbcom&matchType=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&rangePropertyName=FORMATTED_DATE&rangeFilterType=BTWN |title=American Chart |magazine=Billboard |access-date=2008-06-24 }}{{dead link|date=July 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} The album and lead single topped the charts in a number of countries, with "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" spending a record 16 weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart and topping the charts in 17 countries.

}} Canadian content regulations were revised in 1991 to allow radio stations to credit airplay of the album towards their legal requirement to play Canadian music. The album is Adams' second-bestselling album worldwide.

Released before the album, "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" was its most successful single. It has become one of the most successful songs of all time, spending seven weeks at number one on the United States' Billboard Hot 100, sixteen consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, 11 weeks on the Dutch Top 40 and nine weeks at number one on the Canadian singles chart in Canada. The song received a Grammy Award for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television at the 1992 Grammy Awards, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song of 1991.{{cite web |title=Bryan Adams Awards |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p3502|pure_url=yes}} |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110217214823/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/p3502 |archive-date=February 17, 2011 |access-date=2008-06-24 |website=Allmusic}}

Adams was approached to write a theme song by the producers of the upcoming Kevin Costner film, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and received a tape of orchestration written by film-score composer Michael Kamen. He and "Mutt" Lange used a section of Kamen's orchestration and composed "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", which was placed deep in the film's closing credits when it opened on June 14, 1991. The song rose to number one in the United Kingdom the week before the film's British release, topped the charts in 16 countries, and sold over 10 million copies worldwide (one of the biggest-selling singles of all time).{{cite web |title=(Everything I Do) I Do It For You |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/soldonsong/songlibrary/everythingido.shtml |access-date=2008-06-24 |publisher=BBC |archive-date=January 20, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080120032725/http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/soldonsong/songlibrary/everythingido.shtml |url-status=live }} When the BBC asked Adams about the recent acoustic live version from his Bare Bones CD, "Do you ever get bored of hearing your record-breaking hit 'Everything I Do'?" he said: "Of course not. What a silly question."{{cite news |date=2001-06-21 |title=My Music: Bryan Adams |publisher=BBC |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1400780.stm |access-date=2008-06-24 |archive-date=March 22, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140322002126/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1400780.stm |url-status=live }} Julien Temple directed the music video for "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", which was filmed in Sheffield, England on May 17–18, 1991.

"Can't Stop This Thing We Started" was the album's second single. A rock song (in contrast to "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You"), it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 behind Prince's "Cream". The song was nominated at the 1992 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, Solo.

"There Will Never Be Another Tonight" was the third single, whose title came from a fragment Adams and Jim Vallance wrote in the late 1980s. Originally titled "Buddy Holly Idea" because of its resemblance to Holly's "Peggy Sue", it was developed into a song by Lange and Adams.

"Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven" was the fourth single from Waking up the Neighbours. It reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.{{Cite magazine |title=Bryan Adams – Hot 100 |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/bryan-adams/chart-history/hsi/ |access-date=2021-07-31 |magazine=Billboard |archive-date=November 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117164611/https://www.billboard.com/artist/bryan-adams/chart-history/hsi/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite magazine |title=Bryan Adams – Mainstream Rock Airplay |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/bryan-adams/chart-history/rtt/ |access-date=2021-07-31 |magazine=Billboard |archive-date=November 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211117154604/https://www.billboard.com/artist/bryan-adams/chart-history/rtt/ |url-status=live }} In the UK, the song reached number eight. "All I Want Is You", "Do I Have to Say the Words?" (number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100) and "Touch the Hand" were also released as singles, but had less rotation than the first four singles.

The album caused controversy in Canada concerning the system of Canadian Content. Although Adams was one of Canada's biggest recording stars at the time, the specific nature of his collaboration with non-Canadians, coupled with his decision to primarily record the album outside Canada, meant that the album and all its songs were not considered Canadian content for purposes of Canadian radio airplay. Under the system then in place, a piece of recorded music had to meet any two of the following four criteria in order to qualify as Canadian content:

• 1) the artist was Canadian
• 2) the track was completely recorded in Canada
• 3) the music was entirely written by a Canadian (or Canadians)
• 4) the lyrics were entirely written by a Canadian (or Canadians)

As Adams co-wrote both the music and the lyrics with Mutt Lange, who is from Zambia, and he did not primarily record the album in Canada, he only fulfilled one of the criteria. It was noted that if Adams had written all the lyrics, and Lange all the music (or vice versa), the collaboration would have counted as Canadian content. As a result, under CRTC regulations none of the album's songs was considered Canadian content.

In protest, Adams briefly threatened to boycott Canada's annual Juno Awards, where his album had been almost completely ignored by the awards committee. He did end up winning the Entertainer of the Year Award (voted on by the public) and Producer of the Year Award.{{cite web

Adams publicly criticized the CRTC policy, calling it "a disgrace, a shame...stupidity". He continued his attack with:

"You'd never hear Elton John being declared un-British [...] It's time to abolish the CRTC. Not everyone agrees."

As a result of the controversy, in September of that year, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission announced that Canadian content rules would be changed. The new regulation allows non-Canadians to contribute up to 50% of the finished content to each of both the music and the lyrics of a recorded piece, and still qualify for Canadian content status—provided the recording artist is Canadian, or the song is recorded in Canada. Accordingly, the Adams/Lange songs, and the Adams/Lange/Vallance songs on the album now count as Canadian content, as Jim Vallance is also Canadian. However, the Adams/Lange/Kamen co-written "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" still does not count as Canadian content, as two of the three writers are non-Canadians, and the track was not recorded in Canada.

Before releasing the album, Adams had already started a tour promoting it, and on June 8, 1991, he held large concerts in Europe co-headlining with ZZ Top. Shortly after the tour started, "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" was released as the debut single for the album. The single became a worldwide hit.{{cite web

On October 4, 1991, the world tour started in Belfast, Northern Ireland. On December 18, 1991, Adams played his two first-ever shows in Reykjavík, Iceland. After his tour in Europe, as well as a concert at Wembley Stadium attended by more than 72,000 people, Adams left for the United States, where he performed at the Ritz Theatre on January 10. That concert sold out in less than 20 minutes. In attendance were Ben E. King and Nona Hendrix.

The Canadian leg of the 'Waking Up the World' Tour kicked off in Sydney, Nova Scotia on 12 January 1992, and wrapped up with a standing room only concert in Vancouver, British Columbia, on 31 January. In February 1992, he toured New Zealand and Australia for seven dates, kicking off with a press conference in Sydney. On February 21 the tour headed to Japan for close to a dozen shows in six cities. Bryan taped an interview with MuchMusic's Terry Dave Mulligan in Calgary, Alberta and the air date was scheduled for mid-March. The tour continued through several European countries in June 1992, including Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia, and in July 1992, Bryan performed for the first time in Hungary and Turkey. September through December 1992 saw the tour in the U.S. The Asian tour headed to Thailand, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong in February, 1993, before returning to the U.S. during March through May.{{cite web

}}

Adams' visit to South Africa during his Waking Up the World tour, following the release of Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners from prison and the unbanning of black political parties, has been left relatively undocumented. Adams' concert at Cape Town's Green Point stadium during the tour was called one of his most emotional and memorable performances.

Coca-Cola was one of the official partners and sponsors of the tour, and the beverage company released a commercial promoting the tour. It featured the song "House Arrest" with Adams and his band playing the song in a neighborhood and also featured actress Neve Campbell.

All tracks written and produced by Bryan Adams and Robert John "Mutt" Lange, except where noted.
