Waking Up the Neighbours

Waking Up the Neighbours is an album by Canadian singer/songwriter Bryan Adams released in 1991 and his sixth studio album. The album was recorded at Battery Studios in London, and at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, mixed at Mayfair Studios in London, and mastered by Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk in New York City. "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" was number one on the British charts for a record-breaking sixteen weeks. The album sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The album was also notable in Canada for creating controversy concerning the system of Canadian content. Although Adams was one of Canada's biggest recording stars at the time, his collaboration with the British–Zambian Mutt Lange meant that, under the rules in force until 1991, Waking Up the Neighbours did not qualify as Canadian content. As a result of Adams's complaints, in September of that year, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that the Canadian content rules would be changed to allow collaborations with non-Canadians.
