''Party Tonight'' is a [compilation](/source/compilation_album) album released by multi-hit [Salsa](/source/Salsa_music) and pop music group [Modern Romance](/source/Modern_Romance_(band)) on the Ronco label.

It further offered some album tracks and [cover version](/source/cover_version)s. ''Party Tonight'' reached No. 45 on the [UK Albums Chart](/source/UK_Albums_Chart), wrapping up what had been the band's watershed year; it is their highest charting album in the UK to date.
