Electropop singer Robyn is born Robin Miriam Carlsson in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1995 the 16-year-old releases her debut album, Robyn Is Here, which yields her first pair of Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Do You Know (What It Takes)" and "Show Me Love."

Sweden's teenage electropop sensation Robyn notches her first hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when "Do You Know (What It Takes)" peaks at #7 on the chart, nearly two years after it was released on her 1995 debut album, Robyn Is Here.

Swedish alt-pop star Robyn issues her first independent album on her own label, Konichiwa, after her longtime label Jive Records rejects her increasingly edgier synthpop demos, in particular The Knife-produced "Who's That Girl." Robyn becomes her first #1 album in Sweden and earns a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album in 2009.

Swedish dance-pop star Robyn releases her signature tune, "Dancing On My Own." The electropop ballad about heartbreak on the dance floor is a prime example of her deceptively upbeat style, which pairs club friendly music with emotional lyrics.

Swedish singer Robyn appears on the teen drama Gossip Girl in the episode "War At The Roses." She performs an acoustic version of her Body Talk Pt. 2 single "Hang With Me" at Blair Waldorf's birthday party. Her popular song "Dancing On My Own" also soundtracks a steamy love scene between enemies.

Swedish songstress Robyn is named Songwriter of the Decade at the NME Awards just a couple months after the famed British magazine ranked the electropop singer's "Dancing On My Own" at the top of their Best Songs of the Decade list.

Swedish dance-pop singer Robyn surprises fans when she posts a picture of her new baby on Instagram after keeping her pregnancy a secret from the public. The "Dancing On My Own" singer gave birth to her son, Tyko, who was conceived through IVF treatment, in April 2022. Because she used an anonymous sperm donor, she doesn't know who the baby's biological father is.

Charli XCX releases a remix of her popular song "360," featuring dance-pop artist Robyn and rapper Yung Lean, both of Sweden. Charli and Robyn, who is 13 years her senior, met while they were touring the same festivals in Australia and became good friends.

Robyn releases her ninth studio album, Sexistential. The single "Talk To Me" marks a reunion between Sweden's former teen-pop sensation and Max Martin, who produced her debut album in 1995 before becoming a prolific hitmaker for other teen acts of the '90s, including Britney Spears.
