"The Rhythm of the Night" is a song by Italian Eurodance group Corona. It was released as their debut single in 1993 in Italy, then elsewhere the following year. The song is the title track of the group's debut studio album, The Rhythm of the Night (1995), and was written by Francesco Bontempi, Annerley Emma Gordon, Giorgio Spagna, Pete Glenister and Mike Gaffey. It was produced by Bontempi, and the vocals were performed by Italian singer Giovanna Bersola, who is not credited on the single and does not appear in the music video.[3] The woman who appears in the video is the group's frontwoman Olga Souza.[4] The video was A-listed on Music TV-channels, such as Germany's VIVA.[5] The song was a worldwide hit in 1994, peaking at number-one in Italy, and within the top five in most of Europe, while in the US, it fell short of the top ten, reaching number eleven on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Cash Box Top 100.

Background and release

The song was credited to Francesco Bontempi, Annerley Emma Gordon, Giorgio Spagna, Pete Glenister and Mike Gaffey.In 1987 the Pete Glenister and Mike Gaffey written song "Save Me" performed by German pop duo Say When! was released.[6] The Rhythm of the Night borrows heavily from this track, namely the music and specifically the lyrics "Round and round we go, each time I hear you say", along with other similar lyrics shared by the two songs. As a result, the two received writing credits on The Rhythm of the Night.

At the time she got the gig, Italian singer Giovanna Bersola suffered from stage fright, and would only be doing studio work. Brazilian singer Olga Souza would be fronting the song on stage and tour instead of Bersola, as well as in its accompanying music video. Bersola told in a 2021 interview, “The studio was safe for me, it was no windows, just me and the music. It was a time when dance and euro house music was very prolific in Europe and I was living in Italy at the time, so I was singing three or four songs a day as a session voice.” According to Souza fronting the group instead of her and that they didn’t use Bersola's image on the single cover, she felt that it suited her, “That gave me the freedom to be absolutely no one.” Bersola is no longer suffering from stage fright and now lives in New Zealand. "The Rhythm of the Night" was released in 1993 in Italy, and the following year, it was released internationally.

Chart performance

"The Rhythm of the Night" achieved huge success worldwide. It reached number one in Italy and stayed there for eight consecutive weeks. In Europe the single entered the Eurochart Hot 100 on 12 February at number 63, and made a slow climb up to peak at five on 17 September. In the end of 1994, it was the longest-charting single on the Eurochart Hot 100. It peaked within the top ten in several countries, including Australia (8), Austria (6), Denmark (4), France (3), Germany (8), Iceland (4), Ireland (3), the Netherlands (5), New Zealand (7), Scotland (2), Spain (3), Switzerland (3) and the United Kingdom (2). Additionally, it was a top 20 hit in Belgium (13) and a 30 hit in Sweden (28). In the United States, "The Rhythm of the Night" reached number eleven on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Cash Box Top 100.

"The Rhythm of the Night" entered the European Border Breakers airplay chart at 21 on 9 April due to crossover airplay in West, Central, North and South-West Europe (also after topping the Italian charts for 8 weeks). It peaked at number four on 5 November.[7] In the US, the song was a top ten hit on radio as well, peaking at number nine in the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart and at number seven in the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40 chart.

The song was an even bigger hit on the dance charts. It peaked at number one on the French dance chart, number two on the Canadian RPM Dance/Urban chart and the European Dance Radio chart,[8] number three on the UK Dance Chart, and number seven on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in the United States.

Critical reception

Scottish Aberdeen Evening Express complimented "The Rhythm of the Night" as "a great Euro pop record" that "has been a top 10 hit in every European country."[9] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Recent No. 1 U.K./European hit is finally issued domestically, and it already appears to be on the road to meeting with similar success here." He explained, "Thumping Italo disco beats support glossy faux-rave synths and a diva vocal that is forceful without being overly aggressive. A wildly catchy and repetitive chorus already has begun to woo radio programmers in several major markets on import."[10] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report reported, "Key programmers are catching on to this one and fast – for one very good reason: It's hot! Coming off a number one run in the U.K., Corona is set up to blowout Stateside."[11] In his UK chart commentary, James Masterton felt it's "more conventional dance though just has the edge for the moment".[12]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media said, "Nocturnal dance party animals and daytime radio programmers sweat to the pulsating Euro beat. When the mistress of seduction hits the mike, only a glass of Corona can cool you down."[13] Alan Jones from Music Week viewed it as an "extremely commercial pop hit from the Continent." He also found that the more concise Rapino edit is also assailing ears on radio, and its concise form will win it many admirers."[14] John Kilgo from The Network Forty described it as a "uptempo high-energy dance number" that is "set to explode."[15] Stephen Dalton from NME wrote, "Anal snobs who dismiss all Europop out of hand are clearly deaf to sensual, rollicking beauties like Corona's 'Rhythm of the Night' or The Real McCoy's 'Run Away'".[16] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update called it a "Olga De Souza cooed Euro smash".[17] Jonathan Bernstein from Spin complimented it as "magnificent",[18] while Paul Sexton from The Times declared it as an "hedonistic anthem".[19]

Samples

In 2019, the chorus of the song was sampled in the Black Eyed Peas and J Balvin's "Ritmo (Bad Boys for Life)", which appeared on the soundtrack of the 2020 film Bad Boys for Life.[20]

Impact and legacy

"The Rhythm of the Night" was awarded one of BMI's Pop Awards in 1996, honoring the songwriters, composers and music publishers of the song.[21]

The song was featured prominently in the closing scene of the 1999 film Beau Travail, with the film's protagonist engaging in a frenzied solo dance performance to the song on an empty nightclub stage. The song was also featured in Grand Theft Auto 5 on the fictional Non-Stop Pop FM radio station https://www.ign.com/wikis/gta-5/Soundtrack_and_Radio.

In 2013, Vibe ranked it number nine in their list of "Before EDM: 30 Dance Tracks from the '90s That Changed the Game".[22] In 2014, Idolator ranked it number 25 on their list of "The 50 Best Pop Singles of 1994". Bradley Stern described it as a "spacey synth-pop jam" and "true staple of early '90s club anthems". He concluded, "As soon as that almighty call to arms rings out ("This is the rhythm of the night!"), 20 years later, there's still no choice but to become a slave to the rhythm all over again."[23]

In 2017, BuzzFeed ranked it number two in "The 101 Greatest Dance Songs of the '90s" list. Stopera and Galindo wrote, "'The Rhythm of the Night' is not only a song, it's a lifestyle. It's a triumph. A feeling. Pure joy. This song will take you places!!"[24]

In 2022, "The Rhythm of the Night" was ranked number 68 in Rolling Stones list of "200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time". Same year, The Guardian ranked it number 50 in their "The 70 Greatest No 2 Singles – Ranked!". Alexis Petridis wrote, "Nineties Euro pop-house was seldom a finely wrought artistic enterprise, but just occasionally, it hit on something incredible. The work of shadowy Italian producers and British songwriters for hire, promoted by a “singer” who didn’t appear on the song itself, "The Rhythm of the Night" perfectly captures the anticipatory excitement of night out about to happen."
