It is their biggest hit single to date, with 492,175 sales during the original British chart run. A massive hit across the world, it also topped the chart in Germany, and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S in early 1993. In France, "Rhythm Is a Dancer" debuted at No. 5 on August 8, 1992, before climbing to No. 1 four weeks later (where it stayed for six weeks).

"Rhythm Is a Dancer" is a song recorded by the act Snap!, released as a single in the second quarter of 1992, from the album The Madman's Return. It was written by Benito Benitez, John "Virgo" Garrett III (aliases for German producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti), singer Thea Austin and rapper Durron Butler and produced by Snap! It achieved a huge success in many countries, becoming a top 5 hit in the U.S. and topping the charts in France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. It has been argued that it was the first Eurodance single ever released.
The track features lead vocals by Thea Austin and a rap by Turbo B.
According to Miz hit. tubes, a book which analyses the French pop charts, "this discotheque song alternates the female singing of the chorus with the fluid rap and set back from the verses. These are tinged with a resonant sonority, with astonishment melancholic relents for a hit dance. That gives to the whole a very particular colouring; almost nostalgia."[1]
It is also contains what is said to be the "worst lyric of all time", with its line "I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer".[2] That the original album version of the song did not contain the line, which is found on the more widely known 7" single of the song that was later added to the album.
The music video for "Rhythm Is a Dancer" was directed by Howard Greenhalgh and shows singer Thea Austin and a backup band at a rocket park filled with smoke. Austin and her group perform the song on elevated platforms while a group of dancers dance on a closed ground platform below them. Interpersed throughout these scenes are animated shots of flickering astronomy/aviation maps and animated figures dancing.

Snap! themselves re-recorded their own song in 1996 and 2003, the latter with CJ Stone (as "Rhythm is a Dancer 2003"). It reached number 17 on the official UK Top 40 in May 2003.
On 25 May 2008, "Rhythm Is a Dancer" re-entered the official UK Top 40 at number 36, climbing as high as number 23 two weeks later. BBC Radio 1 DJs Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates theorized it was based on download performance, due to its inclusion in a television advertisement for Drench water.
On 4 April 2009, "Rhythm is a Dancer" was chosen on the Belgian Radio MNM as the Best Song of the Nineties in the Nineties Top 100
