Gonna Make You Sweat is the first long-player released by David Cole and Robert Clivillés under the name C+C Music Factory. The album was released in the United States on December 13, 1990 (see 1990 in music).
The album was released during the rise of house music to commercial acceptance throughout Europe and North America. Following on the success of contemporaries Black Box and Technotronic, Gonna Make You Sweat was a worldwide smash, reaching number two on the Billboard 200.
The album's first single, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)," took most of the world by storm, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in February 1991 (see 1991 in music). The song also reached number one on Billboard's Top R&B Singles, Hot Dance Music/Club Play and Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales as well as number three on the Australian ARIA Singles chart and UK Singles Chart.
The album's follow-up singles performed well also, particularly the album's third release, "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm...," which was another Top 5 entry on the Billboard Hot 100.
