Swedish popstar Robyn has revealed her bid to break America is "going well".
Speaking backstage at Radio 1's Big Weekend music festival, she told DS: "There's really good hype about [my] record over there at the moment."
However, she admitted that her popularity in Britain - where she's scored hits with 'Be Mine', 'Handle Me' and 'With Every Heartbeat' over the last 12 months - has made her less desperate to crack the US.
"Everything that's been going on here in the UK has been amazing, so [breaking America] is a bonus," she said. "Whatever happens, happens."
