I would also like to see a reference to where the whole thing about the song refering to the 69 position comes from. I have never heard of this theary before, and I am completely unconvinced that this is true. However, if someone could research this and come back with a solid reference, it would be easier to believe.Romtobbi 11:44, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Reply


More evidence would be required to convince me that "Summer of '69" is arguably Bryan Adams' biggest hit. I don't know about other countries, but in the USA, "Summer of '69" peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. By contrast, Adams has had four #1 hits, including "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" which was #1 for 7 weeks and was certified triple-platinum (sales of 3 million copies). "Summer of '69" has never even been certified gold. It is one of his biggest hits, but I don't see how it can be considered arguably his biggest hit unless it can be verified as having been his biggest hit in at least two other countries. --Metropolitan90 04:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

maybe its his best known hit, rather than most successful. -- Astrokey44|talk 13:03, 15 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
I agree. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You was way more popular than Summer of '69. It was #1 in UK for 16 weeks and in US for 17 weeks (actually the longest run for any song!), Summer Of '69 didn't even reach #1 in any of the charts. Pardy 18:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC).Reply

Given the recent additions I think the article has gone beyond stubclass. If anyone agrees, I'll go and remove the stub template. (Or just remove it yourself.) Flambergius 18:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
