From Quiz Did They Say That?!
Answer:
Eiffel 65
"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" peaked at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100, but it performed well internationally, reaching the number one spot on many charts, including the UK Singles Chart, the European Hot 100 Singles, and Eurochart Hot 100. The single for the song debuted in Italy in 1998, but the song didn't become successful outside of Italy until 1999, when it was included on the group's 1999 debut album "Europop". Additionally, the song was nominated for the Best Dance Recording Grammy in 2001.
Eiffel 65, a Eurodance group known for their use of Auto-Tune and pitch correction, formed in 1998 with members Maurizio Lobina, Jeffrey Jey, and Gabry Ponte. Gabry Ponte left the group in 2005 to pursue a solo career, and Lobina and Jey then formed the duo Bloom 06. The group reunited in 2010 to reform Eiffel 65, and they had iTunes releases of their Italian-language single, "Panico", and its English version, "Critical", in 2016.
