Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife

Today (January 18th) marks the thirtieth anniversary of the release of Cuts Like a Knife, the third studio album from Canadian rocker Bryan Adams. The Platinum seller went to number 52 in Australia, number 24 in Germany, number 22 in Sweden, number 21 in the UK and number 8 in both Canada and the US Billboard Hot 200.

This record became a breakout hit for Adams, exposing him to a wider audience. A number of popular music videos running on MTV at the time certainly helped as well. In Canada, it earned him a Juno Award for Composer of the Year.
