Waking Up the Neighbours
Waking Up the Neighbours is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams, released on September 24, 1991. The album was recorded at Battery Studios in London and The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, mixed at Mayfair Studios in London, and mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk in New York City.
The album received critical acclaim and reached the number one position on the album charts in at least eight countries, becoming Adams' second best-selling album worldwide. Its first single, "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", stayed at number one on the UK Singles Chart for a record sixteen consecutive weeks. The album was also notable in Canada for creating controversy concerning the system of Canadian content.
The performance of Adams' 1987 album Into the Fire was felt as somewhat of a disappointment. Although it reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and No. A total of 2 in his native Canada, 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 during the making of Waking Up The Neighbours.
Initially, Adams worked extensively with Vallance on writing a follow-up to Into The Fire. Attempts were made to record a new album – first in July 1988 with Steve Lillywhite producing and again in May 1989 with regular producer Bob Clearmountain – but nothing from these sessions was released. Adams felt the songs were not ready, so he continued writing and re-writing them with Vallance, hoping to deliver the album as soon as possible. However, Adams was still not satisfied, so he decided to start over.
In mid-1989, Adams joined forces with producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, previously known for his work with AC/DC, The Cars, Foreigner, and Def Leppard. Lange helped with the writing and pre-production, developing more songs and re-working some of the earlier ideas. Adams' partnership with Vallance, however, had deteriorated after an intense year of writing, with the latter leaving in August 1989.
Recording for the album took place at Battery Studios in England and the Warehouse Studios in Canada. Recording began in March 1990, and along with mixing, finished in June 1991.[better source needed] 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 the 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. 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. It sold a record four million copies in the US. 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.
