Bryan Adams is aware that music history is always being rewritten. His 1991 single “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You” still holds the record for the longest-running No.1 single in UK chart history — 16 consecutive weeks. But the 65-year-old Canadian singer believes the record’s days may be numbered.
In a new interview, Adams reflected on the achievement with realism: “Sure it can be broken,” he said. “I mean there's been people that are already close.” He’s right — Drake’s “One Dance” held the top spot for 15 weeks in 2016, nearly matching Adams’ reign.
The enduring ballad, originally recorded for the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack, wasn’t initially expected to become a global phenomenon. Adams credited producer Robert “Mutt” Lange for recognizing its potential early on.
