Savage Garden were an Australian pop rock performance and song writing duo. Darren Hayes (vocals) and Daniel Jones (keyboards, sequencing, guitar) formed the group in Brisbane, Queensland in 1994. Their international success occurred between 1997 and 2001, including number one hit singles with "Truly Madly Deeply" (their signature song), "I Want You", "To the Moon and Back", "The Animal Song" and "I Knew I Loved You". Their first two albums, “Savage Garden” and “Affirmation” reached number one in Australia and peaked into the top ten in both United Kingdom and United States.
As of 2005, “Savage Garden” had been certified 12× platinum in Australia, 7× platinum in the US, 3× platinum in Canada, 2× platinum in New Zealand, Singapore, and in the UK. “Affirmation” has been certified 8× platinum in Australia, 3× platinum in the US, 2× platinum in Canada, and 3× platinum in the UK.
The group won a record number of ten ARIA Music Awards in 1997 for their debut album and its related singles. The band took a hiatus in 2000, and while they originally intended to reform, Hayes announced its break-up in 2001.
To date, they have sold over 25 million albums around the world and more than 15 million singles around the world. They spent five years in the UK album charts despite only two albums released and had ten Top 40 chart singles in the UK. Of these, nine charted Top 20 and four went Top 10.
