Millennials the world over will have a certain tune running through their heads at the mention of iconic aughts hit “All the Things She Said” by Russian duo t.A.T.u. The artists’ critically acclaimed 2002 debut song was quickly followed by other familiar tunes like “Not Gonna Get Us” and “All About Us.” All three songs went on to top the charts at number one, and their album 200 KM/H In The Wrong Lane achieved huge success worldwide.
Flash forward nearly 20 years and artists around the world are still feeling t.A.T.u.’s impact. This is particularly true in the duo’s home country, where the group is considered one of the most successful and decorated Russian musical exports of all time.
To celebrate the continuing influence of t.A.T.u.’s anthems, Spotify Russia is launching a campaign in Moscow and St. Petersburg that features billboards paying homage to the band. And listeners around the world can tune in to a new 25-track tribute album, releasing November 5, from some of today’s biggest names in Russia’s music scene.
