Birthday: June 12, 1979

Hometown: Stockholm, Sweden

Where You've Seen Her: Come on, don't even act like you don't remember "Show Me Love." A worldwide smash for Robyn (born Robin Miriam Carlsson) in 1997 in the midst of Hanson/Britney teen-pop mania, it opened the doors for her to become a dance-pop phenomenon overseas. Now, five years after her last album, Robyn ushers in the second installment of her 2010 trilogy, Body Talk Pt. 2, in stores today. We will gladly let this sweltering Swede talk to—and rock—our body three times.

Adult Entertainment: "I spent 10 years in the industry trying to figure out how to make pop music my own way. I definitely got to a point where I didn't feel like it was worth it anymore. Now people are looking for pop artists that are trying to do something different." —Time Out Chicago
