He did duets with Barbra Streisand (“I Finally Found Someone” (1996), his last US Top 10 hit) and Melanie C (“When You’re Gone” (1998), an international Top 5 hit).

And here´s a low budget sampler released for the GErman record maket only.
This album appears to have no official title. Not to be confused by Adams’ solo debut album Bryan Adams – Bryan Adams, released in 1980, or any other compilation album simply carrying the artist’s name as the title. No tracks from Bryan Adams’ debut album are included.
The package mostly includes Adams’ ballads from the 1990s, with ‘Run To You’ being the only inclusion from the 1980s. The Unplugged versions of ‘I’m Ready’ and ‘Back To You’ are both in their respective radio edits, while the single versions of ‘Cloud Number Nine’ (the remix by Chicane) and ‘The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You’ were used. All other tracks are the standard album versions.
The front cover photo was taken during one of Bryan Adams concerts, presumably during the 1988 Into The Fire Tour. The CD doesn’t include any tracks of that tour or the album Bryan Adams – Into The Fire he was promoting at the time.
This was the third in a line of unofficial compilation albums of Bryan Adams produced by the now-defunct record label Falcon Neue Medien. (discogs.com)
