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". |
