"Another Weekend" is a song by the British pop music group Five Star. It peaked at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart and number 23 on the US Billboard Hot Black Singles chart.

History

The single was a return to the charts for the group after a short break to record their fourth LP Rock the World . Due to declining record sales, the group was intent on changing their clean-cut image. They opted for a new, raunchier leather-clad look in the accompanying video, whilst the track demonstrated a slightly harder edged dance sound. However, the changes were not enough to reverse the group's decline, and sales continued to dwindle.
