Icona Pop

Since their recent appearances on prime and daytime TV last month, running alongside a bevy of licensing and advertising syncs, and a successful run at both South by Southwest and ULTRA Music Festival, the Swedish DJ electro house duo, Icona Pop have officially been RIAA certified GOLD in the United States with their infectious single "I Love It" featuring Charli XCX. The single jumped an impressive +47% in sales last week alone, landing the #8 spot on iTunes Singles Chart and the #1 in the iTunes Dance Chart. The track comes from their debut album Icona Pop via Big Beat/Atlantic which will be released later this year.

Formed in 2009, members of Icona Pop include Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, who grew up in Stockholm, create music "which you can both laugh and cry with at the same time". They signed to TEN Music Group in 2009.

After successful stints on the road in late 2012 and early 2013, the ladies have continued to keep the U.S. dancing with their powerful and edgy pop music. As they embark on the North American festival circuit this summer with appearances confirmed at The Governor's Ball in NYC and Lollapalooza in Chicago (amongst others), Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt have zero intentions of slowing down anytime soon.
