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.
Singles 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
Adams was approached to write a theme song by the producers of the upcoming Kevin Costner film, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and received a tape of orchestration written by film-score composer Michael Kamen. He and "Mutt" Lange used a section of Kamen's orchestration and composed "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", which was placed deep in the film's closing credits when it opened on June 14, 1991. The song rose to number one in the United Kingdom the week before the film's British release, topped the charts in 16 countries, and sold over 10 million copies worldwide (one of the biggest-selling singles of all time). When the BBC asked Adams about the recent acoustic live version from his Bare Bones CD, "Do you ever get bored of hearing your record-breaking hit 'Everything I Do'?" he said: "Of course not. What a silly question." Julien Temple directed the music video for "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", which was filmed in Sheffield, England on May 17–18, 1991.
"Can't Stop This Thing We Started" was the album's second single. A rock song (in contrast to "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You"), it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 behind Prince's "Cream". The song was nominated at the 1992 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance, Solo. "There Will Never Be Another Tonight" was the third single, whose title came from a fragment Adams and Jim Vallance wrote in the late 1980s. Originally titled "Buddy Holly Idea" because of its resemblance to Holly's "Peggy Sue", it was developed into a song by Lange and Adams
"Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven" was the fourth single from Waking up the Neighbours. It reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. In the UK, the song reached number eight.[8] "All I Want Is You", "Do I Have to Say the Words?" (number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100) and "Touch the Hand" were also released as singles, but had less rotation than the first four singles
