"(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" - Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams is a Canadian singer-songwriter who wrote the song "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You". The power ballad was written by Adams, Michael Kamen, and Robert John "Mutt" Lange and served as the lead single for both the soundtrack album for the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Adams' sixth studio album, Waking Up the Neighbors (1991). On June 17, 1991, the single was released.
The song was a huge international chart success, reaching number one in at least nineteen countries, with notable exceptions in the Western World being Italy (number three) and Spain (number four). It is especially notable for its success in the United Kingdom, where it spent sixteen weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, the longest uninterrupted run on that chart as of 2022. It also topped the European sales chart for eighteen weeks in a row. In the United States, it topped the Billboard Hot 100, which combines radio airplay and sales, for seven weeks, but remained at the top of the sales-only chart for seventeen weeks.
