6	In 2011, they released their debut single "Manners". While it had positive reviews, it didn't chart anywhere. That changed the next year when they released "I Love It", featuring vocals from then-unknown Music/CharliXCX. [[SongAssociation Through its constant use in media]], "I Love It" went viral in 2013 and became a worldwide hit. While their debut album ''[[SelfTitledAlbum Icona Pop]]'' was [[NoExportForYou only released in Sweden]], and only managed to be a blip on the charts there, this was quickly rectified the next year when they released their international album ''This Is... Icona Pop'' to generally positive reviews.

21	!!Tropes applying to Icona Pop
22	* AerithAndBob: Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo are two names that sound odd when put together.
23	* BadToTheBone: "I Love It" became a big hit as a result of this. First it was featured in the soundtrack of Creator/CriterionGames' ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted2012'', then it was the ThemeSong to the reality show ''Snooki & J-Woww'', then it was used in episodes of ''Series/{{Girls}}'' and ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'', and then later a Samsung commercial used the song, as did countless [[UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken KFC]] commercials in Australia from 2018 onward. As you can imagine, the media made it hard to avoid.
24	* ClusterFBomb: "I Love It" features quite a bit of swearing, including Music/CharliXCX having a ThisIsForEmphasisBitch at the end of her verses. Their music in general is pretty peppered with curses.
25	* DarkerAndEdgier: While it's lyrically not darker, the 2015 single "Emergency" is definitely edgier compared their previous songs.
26	* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: They attended the same music school, but met at a party.
27	* HeavyMeta: Virtually all of their songs about are about dancing all night.
28	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Their relationship is thoroughly this. The song "Girlfriend" was made about it, though [[LesYay some listeners thought it was a little more than that]].
29	* InDaClub: The music video setting of "All Night".
30	* MsFanservice: Both are known to dress in revealing outfits, while the album cover above have them posing together completely naked.
31	* AWildRapperAppears: Ty Dolla $ign in "It's My Party".
