Riding on the Eurovision related acts, here are the team that placed 3rd but made a huge impact.

t.A.T.u was a groundbreaking Russian pop duo formed in the early 2000s, consisting of singers Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova. They gained international fame with their controversial image and catchy pop tunes. In 2003, they represented Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest with their hit song “Ne Ver’, Ne Boysia” (“Don’t Believe, Don’t Fear”). Their performance was memorable, blending provocative choreography with powerful vocals, making them one of the most talked-about acts of the competition.

I remember listening to their English album and seeing their videos looping on MTV and Channel [V].
