Bryan Adams' biggest hit, "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," has joined the billion views club on YouTube.
The song becomes Bryan's second video to hit that mark, following the clip for his 1993 hit "Please Forgive Me."
Written by Adams, Michael Kamen, and Robert John "Mutt" Lange, the power ballad was the lead single for both the soundtrack from the 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Adams's sixth studio album, Waking Up the Neighbours (1991).
The single was released on June 17, 1991, by A&M Records and the accompanying music video was directed by Julien Temple.
The song was a chart success internationally, reaching the No. 1 position on the music charts of at least 19 countries. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and stayed at No. 1 for 17 consecutive weeks on the sales-only chart. It went on to sell more than 15 million copies worldwide, making it Adams's most successful song and one of the best-selling singles of all time.
"(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" won a Grammy for best song written specifically for a motion picture or television. It was also nominated for an Oscar but lost to Celine Dion's title track for Beauty and the Beast.
