Currently, the database states that DJ CD single copies of C & C Music Factory featuring Freedom Williams' "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" (note: this is the complete song title) contain the "Radio Mix" and runs 4:06. I've gotten word from Ed that the commercial cassette single also consists of the "Radio Mix" and runs 4:04.

Todd, since I happen to have 1991's promo CD singles pulled out at the moment, and the song was such a huge Top 40 hit, just thought I'd publish the full details from my promo CD single, for those who may be interested in a longer mix. From my promo, I can also confirm Pat's current "Radio Mix" database timing as exactly (4:06):
-C & C Music Factory Featuring Freedom Williams-"Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" (CSK 73604)
1-Radio Mix (listed 4:08; actual 4:06)
2-The Slammin' Vocal Club Mix (listed 6:50; actual 6:47)
3-Clivilles & Cole D.J.'s Choice Mix (listed 5:00; actual 4:59)

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the commercial single (a.k.a. "Radio Mix") and the album version?

I don't think there are any significant differences. In another thread, someone mentioned that they have copies running at two different speeds, but I don't know of any mix differences.

My album version is 4:03 if I snip out the blank audio at the beginning and end. But it's 4:06 as is.

I still haven't figured out why there's a speed difference on some versions.
The LP version and virtually all the US CD releases run at 114.6 BPM. (Too many to conveniently list here.)
The B-side of one of the "Here We Go" 45s is the so-called "Radio Edit" that runs about 1.1% slower, at 113.4 BPM, but otherwise sounds the same as the LP version to my ears.
The song also runs at 113.4 BPM on EMI UK's Now 19 (1991), Telstar UK's 3-CD Greatest Hits Of Dance (1992) and, oddly enough, Rhino's Billboard Top Hits 1991 (2000). Don't understand why this common US Rhino disc uses the slower-running version, but there it is.

Ed has sent me a copy of the "Gonna Make You Sweat" commercial single ("Radio Mix"). I've compared it to the song as it appears on the Gonna Make You Sweat parent CD/LP (Columbia 47093) and the two are identical. Therefore, it might be helpful if the database were to specify that the "Radio Mix" is the same as the album version.
Interestingly, it appears that a slower version of the song first surfaced on the promo CD single, which Jim reports runs 4:06. (The commercial single and album both run 4:03.) Therefore, the slower-running version on the Billboard Top Hits: 1991 disc (Rhino 79801) is actually a reflection of the slower speed on the promo CD single!
