"So You Win Again" is a popular single from the Hot Chocolate album Every 1's a Winner. The single was released in June 1977.[1]
Written by Russ Ballard and produced by Mickie Most, it is the band's sole UK number one single,[citation needed] spending three weeks at the top in July 1977, and one week as a NME number-one single. The song made it to #3 in Australia, #6 in Germany, and just missed the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, peaking at #31.[2]
The song was included on the soundtrack for the 1997 British film Metroland.
In June 1978, South African band Copperfield entered the local charts with their slowed-down, ballad interpretation of the song, which peaked at no. 2.[3] and no. 15 in neighbouring Rhodesia. In the intervening years, their version has become a classic. It can be heard on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTuWGoGOKrA
