Some Great Reward

Some Great Reward is the fourth studio album by the English electronic band Depeche Mode, released on 24 September 1984 by Mute Records. The album peaked at number five in the United Kingdom and number 51 in the United States, and was supported by the Some Great Reward Tour. This also saw the band using samplers, much like they did in their previous studio album Construction Time Again. The album was Depeche Mode's most successful to date in Europe, hitting number 5 on the album charts in the UK, and number 3 in West Germany. In the US it hit number 54 and spent 42 weeks on the charts. The album was supported by the Some Great Reward Tour, which ran from September 1984 through July 1985, during which the band filmed the live home video The World We Live In and Live in Hamburg, which was released in Europe, North America and Japan. This was the first album where they achieved chart success in the US with the single "People Are People" which reached No. 13 on the charts in mid-1985 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was a Top 20 hit in Canada.
