...Sledgehammer and Dont give up. The success of the former was boosted in no small part by a ground-breaking video which was constantly shown on MTV. The song itself is a beat laden piece of pure pop rock Dont give up is a complete contrast, with Gabriel performing a duet with Kate Bush on a delicate ballad.
