Every 1's a Winner is the fourth studio album by British band Hot Chocolate.[2] It was released in April 1978 on the RAK Records label in the UK and the Infinity Records label in the U.S. The album peaked at number 30 on the UK Albums Chart and number 31 on the US Billboard 200.[3][4]

The original release included nine songs. "So You Win Again", the album's first single, was the band's first number-one single in the UK and charted at number 31 in the US. The second single, "Put Your Love in Me", reached number 10 in the UK but failed to chart in the US. The title track and third single reached number six in the US, making it the band's second-highest charting single in the US behind "You Sexy Thing", and number 12 in the UK.[3][4] The album sold more than a million copies in the U.S.[5]

The album was re-released on CD in 2009, with five bonus tracks.[6]
