It was released in Italy in December 1993 on the DWA record label, and became an instant hit. It stayed at #1 on the Italian music charts for thirteen consecutive weeks. However, the song was not released elsewhere until the following year. Like other early 90&apos;s Eurodance/Hi-NRG songs that eventually became American hits as well, such as Get Ready For This, &quot;Twilight Zone&quot; &amp; &quot;Tribal Dance&quot; by 2 Unlimited and Strike It Up, &quot;I Don&apos;t Know Anybody Else&quot; &amp; &quot;Everybody Everybody&quot; by Black Box, The Rhythm Of The Night did not catch on in America until well after its success had peaked in Europe. By the spring of 1995, however, the song was all over American radio and clubs. Corona followed up its smash hit with the 1995 singles Baby Baby and Try Me Out saw similar success. The single &quot;I Don&apos;t Wanna Be A Star&quot; was a moderate hit. A fifth single, &quot;Do You Want Me&quot;, became a regional hit in Discoteques in the Eastern U.S. The album, The Rhythm Of The Night sold modestly but was more popular than most expected, peaking at #2 on the Top Heatseekers chart and #154 on The Billboard 200. These songs got into the top charts in many countries.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="11" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"><B>1998 To 2004</B><FONT SIZE="10"></FONT></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Corona&apos;s second album, Walking On Music was released in 1998 on independent label of Francesco Bontempi. The album didn&apos;t produce any major hits in Europe or North America. However, the album did yield two minor Stateside dancehall hits with &quot;Walking On Music&quot; and &quot;The Power Of Love&quot;. The remixes of both songs were better than the original mixes. In the year 2000, Olga Souza released third Corona album, this time on the Abril Music label in Brazil. Francesco Bontempi co-wrote some of the songs on the album, but he didn&apos;t participate in the albums production. The album was called And Me U and Corona&apos;s name was changed to Corona X.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="11" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"><B>2005 to Present</B><FONT SIZE="10"></FONT></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Towards the end of 2005, Corona re-emerged onto the European music scene with &quot;Back In Time&quot;, peaking at #36 in the Italian sales chart. It is most likely that Jenny provided vocals for this track, as they do not have the lively personality that Ogla&apos;s voice possesses. Some websites were still advertising the track during 2006; perhaps meaning that it is still on release throughout Europe, and some European radio stations have given the track airplay.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">In late 2006, Olga De Souza returned with a new single under the Corona moniker entitled &quot;I&apos;ll Be Your Lady&quot;, which she sang and had co-written herself.</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">In 2007, Swedish dance group Sunblock did a cover version of &quot;Baby Baby&quot; featuring the original singer, Sandy.
