EUROPOP

Description

Europop is a dance album by the popular Italian dance-pop group Eiffel 65. The group’s first album, it was released in 1999 as a CD under the Blissco label. Featuring pitch-corrected vocals and Eurodisco beats throughout,[1] the album is most notable for the group’s two biggest hits: “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” and “Move Your Body”. Despite hailing from Italy, Eiffel 65 performs all songs on this album in English in an attempt to appeal to an international audience.

The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200, and the song “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, impressive for an EDM song at the time of its release. The CD was also extremely successful in Australia.

It is widely considered as a landmark album of the 1990s and was critical in opening Eurodance to a global audience.
