Rock the World is the fourth album by the British pop group Five Star. It was released in 1988 and reached #17 on the UK charts. It was the group's last album of original material to chart in the UK, although two greatest hits compilations would chart in 1989 and 2019 respectively.
Two singles from the album were UK Top 30 hits: "Another Weekend" and "Rock My World". Two further singles from the album, "There's a Brand New World" and "Let Me Be Yours", failed to reach the Top 40. Following its release, the album was awarded a Silver disc for selling more than 60,000 copies in the UK.
The group adopted a new image for the release of the album, mimicking the leather-clad look from Michael Jackson's "Bad", released the previous year.
An expanded version of Rock the World was released by Cherry Pop Records in April 2012.
