On A Day Like Today

About

On a Day Like Today is the eighth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adam, released on October 27, 1998. "On a Day Like Today" was the first single released from the album. It reached number thirteen in the UK and number one on the Canadian Singles Chart. Follow-up single "When You're Gone", featuring Melanie C (from Spice Girls), reached number three in the UK, and was in the top-ten for ten week, while peaking at number eleven in Canada. "Cloud Number Nine" reached number six in the UK and number seven in Canada. On a Day Like Today was a success around the world, peaking at number three in Canada, and number eleven in the UK. However at the time in the U.S. market, it became the first of Adams' albums since 1983's Cuts Like a Knife not to obtain a platinum sales certification. According to AllMusic, the record company didn't do a lot of advertising for album, as Adams and this album got caught when his record company sold his recording contract to rap label Interscope, who in turn did very little in the USA to promote it. The album received mixed reviews from critic. Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Tom Lanham gave the album a B+ rating, stating that "Adams started searching for that perfect balance of mature grace and useful guitar grind". .
