Her 1995 debut album ''[[Robyn Is Here]]'' produced two [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] top 10 singles: "[[Do You Know (What It Takes)]]" and "[[Show Me Love (Robyn song)|Show Me Love]]". Her second and third albums, ''[[My Truth]]'' (1999) and ''[[Don't Stop the Music (Robyn album)|Don't Stop the Music]]'' (2002), were released in Sweden. The 2010 sleeper hit “[[Dancing On My Own]]” is often credited as her signature song and helped rejuvenate her career. Robyn returned to international success with her fourth album, ''[[Robyn (album)|Robyn]]'' (2005), which brought a [[Grammy Award]] nomination. The album spawned the singles "[[Be Mine! (Robyn song)|Be Mine!]]" and "[[With Every Heartbeat]]" – the latter of which topped the charts in the United Kingdom. Robyn released a trilogy of mini-albums in 2010, known as the ''[[Body Talk (Robyn album)|Body Talk]]'' series. They received broad critical praise and three Grammy Award nominations, and produced three top-10 singles: "[[Dancing On My Own]]", "[[Hang with Me]]" and "[[Indestructible (Robyn song)|Indestructible]]". Robyn followed this with two collaborative EPs: ''[[Do It Again (EP)|Do It Again]]'' (2014) with [[Röyksopp]], and ''[[Love Is Free (album)|Love Is Free]]'' (2015) with [[Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique|La Bagatelle Magique]]. She released her eighth solo album, ''[[Honey (Robyn album)|Honey]]'', in 2018 to widespread acclaim.
