t.A.T.u. is a Russian pop duo (Elena Katina and Yulia Volkova) formed in 1999 when they were both teenagers. They arguably became more famous for their ruthlessly spun sexual controversy as for their music.
Their first album 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane (2002) was the first album from Russian artists to achieve international gold classification. It spawned the huge hit "All the Things She Said" and that famous schoolgirls video. The video only added to the enduring speculation about their sexuality which they did little to dispel at the time. It was not until much later (in the documentary Anatomy of t.A.T.u.) that it became clear that their controversial under-age lesbian image was nothing more than a somewhat sinister stage-managed publicity campaign.
The second English language album Dangerous and Moving (2005) was delayed until after Volkova had a baby.
