40-Hour Week is the ninth studio album from American country music band Alabama.

Released in January 1985, the album included three songs that topped the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart and continued the band's dominance during the 1980s.

The feat allowed Alabama to tie Sonny James' 14-year-old record for most No.

Among the album tracks, several of them praising the South, 40 Hour Week also features the ballad "I Want To Know You Before We Make Love", which became a major hit for Conway Twitty in 1987.

This was Alabama's only album from which all the singles had accompanying music videos.
