The band originally formed in 2000 and released their debut single "All Rise" through Innocent and Virgin Records in May 2001. The song became a top five hit in several countries, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart and reaching number one in New Zealand.[5][6] Follow-up single "Too Close", a cover of the same-titled Next song, was released in August 2001 and marked Blue's first chart topper in the UK and second in New Zealand,[5][6] with third single "If You Come Back" becoming their third number one hit in the UK.[5] The band's debut album All Rise, released in November 2001, peaked at number one the UK Albums Chart enjoyed top-ten success throughout Europe and Oceania.[5] Certified 4× Platinum in the UK,[7] the album sold in excess of 1.3 million copies domestically.[5]

One Love, Blue's second album, was released in November 2002. Preceded by its top-five title track, the album broke into several previously untapped markets based upon the success of its second single "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word", a cover of the Elton John song featuring John himself. The song became the band's highest-charting single to date, reaching number one in both the Netherlands and the UK.[8][5] A steady seller, One Love also was certified 4× Platinum in the UK with domestic sales of more than 1.2 million units.[7] While it did not match its predecessor's success in Oceania,[9] One Love sold nearly twice as well across Europe, where it reached 2× Platinum status.[10]

In November 2003, Blue released their studio album Guilty (2003). It debuted at number one on the UK Album Chart after its release,[5] and was eventually certified 2× Platinum,[7] selling roughly half as much as its two predecessors.[5] The album's title track, became the band's first chart topper in Denmark and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart,[5] though "Breathe Easy" emerged as the album's biggest-selling single and marked their first number-one hit in Italy.[11] In late 2004, Blue announced that they would disband indefinitely. This coincided with the release of their first compilation album, Best of Blue, released in November 2004. The album produced the single "Curtain Falls" which peaked at number two in Italy, number four in the United Kingdom, and number eight in Germany.[11][5][12]

In May 2011, following their reformation in April 2009, Blue represented the United Kingdom at Eurovision with the song "I Can". Their first single in six years, the song peaked at number sixteen on the UK Singles Chart,[5] and reached the top ten in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.[12] In January 2013, Blue released their fourth studio album, Roulette, their first project with Island Records. Although the album failed to match the major success of their earlier releases, it still reached the top 20 on the charts in both Germany and the United Kingdom.[5][12] Roulette’s lead single, "Hurt Lovers", became a top-ten hit on the German Singles Chart.[12] Blue signed with Sony Music to released their fifth album Colours in March 2015. An album consisting of six original songs and four cover versions, it opened and peaked at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart but due to disappointing sales figures, resulted in them being released early from their two-album contract with the label.[5][13]

In 2022, Blue returned with singles "Haven't Found You Yet" and a cover of 112's 2001 song "Dance with Me", both from their sixth studio album Heart & Soul. Their first project in seven years, the album was released in October 2022 through Tag8 and BMG.[14] It debuted and peaked at number 22 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming Blue's lowest yet, while still reaching number four on the UK Independent Albums Chart and number 18 in Scotland.[5] In May 2024, the band released the standalone single "My City".[15] Reflections, Blue's seventh studio album, was released on 9 January 2026 through Blue Blood International and Cooking Vinyl.[16] It debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the group's highest charting studio album since Guilty, and additionally topped the Scottish Albums Chart, becoming the band's first album to reach number one there.[17]
