On this day, January 18, 1983, Bryan Adams released his third studio album, Cuts Like a Knife. This album catapulted Adams into international stardom, reaching #8 on the Billboard 200 and featuring a mix of anthemic rock tracks and heartfelt ballads.

The album included hits like Straight from the Heart, Cuts Like a Knife, and This Time, all of which became staples of 80s rock radio and showcased Adams’ raspy voice and songwriting talent. Cuts Like a Knife was a critical and commercial success, establishing Adams as one of the defining voices of the decade.

Fun Fact: The music video for Cuts Like a Knife was filmed in an empty indoor swimming pool and became one of Adams’ most iconic visuals during the early days of MTV.
