"Better the Devil You Know" is the third album by British pop star Sonia. [ [http://www.soniaontheweb.com/albums.html Soniaontheweb.com | Sonia discography] ]

Released in May 1993, the album followed Sonia's appearance in the Eurovision Song Contest. The previous year, Sonia had been selected to be the UK representative and she performed all eight songs in the Song for Europe. The 1992 participant Michael Ball had enjoyed great success with his album based on the contest when it reached No.1 in the charts, and Sonia's management were keen to see similar results. [ [http://www.chartstats.com/albuminfo.php?id=11742 Chartstats.com | "Michael Ball" Chart details] ] "Better the Devil You Know" featured four songs from the contest (the top four placed songs: "A Little Love", "Our World", "So Much of Your Love" and the winner "Better the Devil You Know"). [ [http://www.geocities.com/national_finals_90s_00s/UK1993.html Geocities.com | 1993 Song for Europe final] ] However, the album failed to replicate Ball's success and peaked at No.32 in the charts. [ [http://www.chartstats.com/albuminfo.php?id=12428 Chartstats.com | "Better the Devil You Know Chart" details] ] The title track however finished a close second in the Contest and reached No.15 on the UK charts.

An earlier single, a cover of the disco hit "Boogie Nights" was also included on the album, while a planned follow-up to the Eurovision song, "Rescue Me" (also a cover) went unreleased. [ [http://www.soniaontheweb.com/singles.html Soniaontheweb.com | Sonia singles discography] ] This album marked the end of Sonia's hit-making period, which had lasted since 1989. From this point, Sonia concentrated on TV and stage work, while two more singles and a final album failed to find success.
