The Rhythm of the Night is the debut album by Italian Eurodance act Corona, released on 4 April 1995. The album includes the worldwide hit single "The Rhythm of the Night", along with the singles "Baby Baby", "Try Me Out" and "I Don't Wanna Be a Star".

Critical reception

Music Week gave the album 4 out of 5, writing, "Olga De Souza belts out a collection of songs from hedonistic heaven. The success of the title track and follow-up single, "Baby Baby", bode well for this superior dance album." NME ranked it eight out of ten, commenting, "Once more the Spagna Brothers, I and G, and their mate F Bontempi — who gave us "Ride On Time" — rock out with new singer Corona. This is all you ever wanted — other people's song titles ("Don't Go Breaking My Heart", the title track) over a belting dance beat. Immaculate."
