Her 1995 debut album Robyn Is Here produced two Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles: " Do You Know (What It Takes) " and " Show Me Love ". Her second and third albums, My Truth (1999) and Don't Stop
188-493: A Europop teen queen, with an added dash of ' girl next door . ' " Martin ended up producing much of Spears's debut album ...Baby One More Time , and she was seen as "easier to control than the 'forceful' Swedish teenager." Robyn (2005) has been cited as a foundational pop album of the 2000s, cementing the validity of " poptimism " in music critics circles that "[made] indie nerds lighten up." It gained significant acclaim from indie magazine Pitchfork , which had only covered
282-495: A "savant" and "pioneer" upon going independent to the accelerated prominence of the alternative pop genre starting in the late 2000s. According to El Hunt of NME , the Body Talk project "paved the way for more experimental, alternatively-minded pop stars to find a place in the landscape in years to come" and pioneered "a different kind of pop". Publications such as The Guardian and Rolling Stone have called Robyn one of

Robyn made the All Hearts Tour in July and August 2010 with American singer Kelis to promote the Body Talk albums, and a four-date UK tour at the end of October. On 6 September 2010, Body Talk Pt. 2 was released in the UK. It was preceded by the lead single, a dance version of " Hang with Me " from Body Talk Pt. 1 , the day before. The album includes

Laura Snapes of The Guardian described the album as "exploratory dance music that reflects the hopelessness and ecstasy that informed her time away from the spotlight". Robyn has said she that she prefers writing with other artists instead of independently, but finds it frustrating that people expect her as
658-423: A duet with American rapper Snoop Dogg , "U Should Know Better". Robyn performed "Dancing On My Own" with deadmau5 at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards on 12 September. In a BBC Newsbeat interview, she explained her decision to release three albums in one year: "It was just something I felt like I needed to do. I just never thought about selling records or not, making this decision. I just did it for myself. It's
752-571: A few pop albums prior. Their acclaim "placed synthpop on the same level as earnest, artsy acts such as Arcade Fire and Sufjan Stevens ." She was seen as "a bellwether for rock getting less rigid in introducing non-guitar sounds and for pop music becoming more dance-driven and experimental." Robyn helped shape contemporary pop music by taking creative control, introducing indie elements to mainstream pop, and including feminist and other political themes in her music long before it became acceptable for popstars to do so. Variety attributed her work as
846-563: A game, Mixory , on 21 and 22 June 2013. That year she received the Stockholm KTH Royal Institute of Technology Great Prize for "artistic contributions and embrace of technology", worth 1.2 million Swedish kronor (around £117,000 at the time), which she planned to donate to a cause of her choice. Robyn sang on Neneh Cherry 's "Out of the Black", from Cherry's album Blank Project , in 2014. She also announced
940-629: A new album later that year. Robyn opened for Coldplay on their 2012 tour in Dallas, Houston, Tampa, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. In mid-2013, she appeared with Paul Rudd and Sean Combs on "Go Kindergarten" from the Lonely Island 's The Wack Album . Robyn posted two videos of the Snoop Dogg collaboration ("U Should Know Better" and "Behind the Scenes") and

As many Hot 100 chart policies have been modified over the years, one rule always remained constant: songs were not eligible to enter the Hot 100 unless they were available to purchase as a single. However, on December 5, 1998,

Fans quickly began noticing the hints she was dropping, including a post on Twitter with the hashtag #MissingU. It was released on 1 August 2018. On 1 August 2018, Robyn presented "Missing U" on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show. There she talked about

The Best Sellers in Stores , Most Played by Jockeys and Most Played in Jukeboxes charts continued to be published concurrently with the new Top 100 chart. On June 17, 1957, Billboard discontinued the Most Played in Jukeboxes chart, as

The next two years Robyn collaborated on SG Lewis and TEED 's electropop track "Impact" with Channel Tres for
1410-434: A single until airplay was at its absolute peak, thus prompting a top ten or, in some cases, a number-one debut. In many cases, a label would delete a single from its catalog after only one week, thus allowing the song to enter the Hot 100, make a high debut and then slowly decline in position as the one-time production of the retail single sold out. It was during this period that several popular mainstream hits never charted on

A new chart, the Pop 100 , was created by Billboard in February 2005 to answer criticism that the Hot 100 at the time was too dominated by hip hop and R&B. It was discontinued in June 2009 due to
1598-435: A trend they had started in the 1960s by putting the same song on both sides of the singles provided to radio. More complex issues began to arise as the typical A-and-B-side format of singles gave way to 12 inch singles and maxi-singles, many of which contained more than one B-side. Further problems arose when, in several cases, a B-side would eventually overtake the A-side in popularity, thus prompting record labels to release
1692-595: A unifying theme underlying most of her albums. Robyn debuted as a mainstream pop-R&B singer during the 1990s, but felt limited by the artistic constraints of working for a major record label. Andrew R. Cho of NBCNews.com described her earlier work as "cookie cutter 1990s R&B out of the TLC playbook". By the time she reinvented herself as an independent artist in 2005, she had adopted an electronic and synth-pop sound. Her fourth album, Robyn , retained some influences of American R&B and hip hop, but "largely stuck to
1786-543: A very long time to gain mainstream success. These rare cases are handled on a case-by-case basis and ultimately determined by Billboard ' s chart managers and staff. Older songs are allowed to re-enter to the Hot 100 provided they chart higher than number 50. Christmas songs have been a regular presence on the Hot 100 each December since the relaxation of recurrent rules, culminating in Mariah Carey 's 1994 recording " All I Want for Christmas Is You " reaching No. 1 on
1880-617: A very straightforward cumulative total of yearlong sales, streaming, and airplay points. This gives a more accurate picture of any given year's most popular tracks, as the points accrued by one song during its week at number one in March might be less than those accrued by another song reaching number three in January. Songs at the peak of their popularity at the time of the November/December chart-year cutoff many times end up ranked on
1974-451: A way of, for me, to stay inspired and to be able to do the things I like to do". However, Robyn said that she would not do it again: "When you do 16 or 13 songs in one go, you kind of empty yourself, and it takes a while to fill back up and have new things to talk about, so I think it's good for everyone". Robyn announced the release of the single, " Indestructible ", on 13 October 2010; an acoustic version appeared on Body Talk Pt. 2 . The song

Caryn Ganz of The New York Times called her writing process "designed to wring out truths", while songwriter and producer Klas Åhlund called it a series of “intimate, open and sort of confessional conversations", in which they would share details they wouldn't with others. Robyn's parents led an independent theatre group, and growing up in that environment influenced her sense of style: "I

To address this issue, Billboard now separates airplay points from a song's original version and its remix, if the remix

According to Jake Hall of i-D , the term "sad banger" has become virtually synonymous with Robyn since she released " Dancing on My Own ". While writing her eighth studio album, Honey , Robyn found that she was no longer interested in creating "tidy pop songs", exploring music she described as hypnotic "that didn’t have

This led to the full-page "Billboard Music Popularity Chart" for
3290-473: The 1990s many record companies stopped releasing singles altogether (see Album Cuts , below). Eventually, a song's airplay points were weighted more so than its sales. Billboard has adjusted the sales/airplay ratio many times to more accurately reflect the true popularity of songs.

During the 1990s, a growing trend in the music industry was to promote songs to radio without ever releasing them as singles. It was claimed by major record labels that singles were cannibalizing album sales, so they were slowly phased out. During this period, accusations began to fly of chart manipulation as labels would hold off on releasing
