Serie / Series: Challenge-Series

Sledgehammer was released both as single record and included in the album «So» by British artist Peter Gabriel in 1986. The song is the biggest hit to this day by Gabriel.
The song is inspired by the 50's soul music, in particular the music recorded by Memphis-based record label Stax.
Gabriel achieved three Grammy-nominations for the song and album, but without winning any of them.
However, the video has won several prizes and are to this day the most played music video at MTV.

[NO]Sledgehammer ble utgitt både som singelplate og inkludert på albumet So med den britiske artisten Peter Gabriel i 1986. Den er til dags dato Gabriels største hit med en enkelt låt.
Musikken har tydelige inspirasjoner fra 50-tallets soul og gjerne den musikken man forbinder med Memphis-platemerket Stax.
Gabriel ble nominert til tre Grammy-priser for albumet og låten men uten å gå helt til topps.
Flere priser har imidlertid videoen til låten vunnet, og den er til dags dato den mest spilte videoen på MTV.
