Notes: Sledgehammer finally brought Gabriel into the ranks of the greats. But the song with the heavy bass and the sexual innuendos also achieved something else: Sledgehammer became a US No. 1 hit - of all things, the song knocked Invisible Touch by Genesis off its throne. And the music video remains the most played video ever. |
