On 24 September 1984, Depeche Mode released their fourth studio album “Some Great Reward” featuring singles “People Are People" “Master and Servant" and “Blasphemous Rumours" / "Somebody".
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. It was also the first album that peaked at a higher position on a chart that wasn't from the home country as it peaked at No. 1 in Germany.
