"The Power" launched Snap! on 3 January 1990, the German Eurodance outfit's debut single and the opening shot from their first album, World Power, with American rapper Turbo B and American singer Penny Ford on the mic. The group wrote and produced it themselves; the credits go to Benito Benites, John "Virgo" Garrett III and Antoinette Colandero.
It's a blunt instrument built for the dancefloor, and it flattened everything in its path: number one in the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Greece, Israel, Luxembourg and Zimbabwe. America held it to number two on the Hot 100 while it topped three other Billboard charts. The Molotov Brothers directed the video, and Rolling Stone later found room for it on its list of the 200 greatest dance tracks.
