Bryan Adams has joined YouTube Music’s Billion Views Club for the second time, this time with “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You.”
The Canadian singer-songwriter reached one billion views with the performance video for the 1991 ballad, which was featured in the film “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” starring Kevin Costner.
After its release, “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” became a major hit. It is one of four Adams songs to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining at the top for seven weeks — the longest run at No. 1 in his career.
The song broke records in the United Kingdom, topping the Official U.K. Singles Chart for 16 consecutive weeks. No other song in chart history has stayed at No. 1 longer.
“(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” is the lead single from Adams’ album “Waking Up the Neighbours,” which also reached No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and the ARIA Chart, and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S.
“Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” was the second-highest-grossing film of 1991, earning $390 million at the box office. It trailed only “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” which took in $520 million that year.
Adams first entered the YouTube Billion Views Club with his 1993 ballad “Please Forgive Me.”
Adams co-wrote “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” with Robert “Mutt” Lange and Michael Kamen. The official black-and-white video was filmed in Miami in 1992 and directed by Andy Morahan.
