Every Turn of the World is the third studio album by Christopher Cross, recorded and released in 1985. The album has a harder rocking sound, lacking the pop ballads that dominated the sound of Cross's previous albums. The album peaked at No. 127 on the Billboard 200, while the "Charm the Snake", peaked at No. 68 on the Billboard Hot 100, the only single to chart from the album. Two other singles, the title track and "Love Is Love (In Any Language)", were also released.
