Eiffel 65 are an Italian Eurodance group formed in 1997 in the studios of the Turin-based record company Bliss Corporation. The group consists of Jeffrey Jey, Maurizio Lobina, and formerly Gabry Ponte. They gained global popularity with their singles "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" and "Move Your Body" from their 1999 debut studio album Europop. The singles reached number one in many countries, while the album peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 chart. Their following two albums, Contact! (2001) and their self-titled Eiffel 65 (2003), did not gain international success, but still managed to gain success in Italy.
Throughout their career, the group won a World Music Award in 2000 for the World Best Selling Italian Group, and a BMI USA in Los Angeles, rewarding the most-broadcast song on radio in the United States. They were also nominated at the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording for "Blue (Da Ba Dee)".
