Charli XCX has been at this long enough to have lived several pop careers in one. Born Charlotte Aitchison in 1992, she cut her teeth posting songs on Myspace and running with London's rave scene, signed to Asylum in 2010, co-wrote and sang on Icona Pop's "I Love It", hooked the world on Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" and scored her own solo breakthrough with "Boom Clap". Then, in 2015, she fell in with the producers around PC Music and got weird on purpose: Vroom Vroom, the Number 1 Angel and Pop 2 mixtapes, Charli with "1999", and How I'm Feeling Now, made in lockdown.
Crash, in 2022, finally gave her a UK number-one album, and "New Shapes" put a pop star's gloss on a club kid's chassis. But BRAT, in 2024, is the one. Blown-out, bratty, sweaty and weirdly tender, it plays like a night out and the anxious comedown after, and a whole summer ended up named after it. "Von Dutch" struts, "360" smirks, "Apple" became a UK top-ten hit, and the remix album's "Guess", with Billie Eilish, gave her another number-one song.
It became her second UK number-one album, turned up at the top of year-end lists, and won 3 Grammys, including Best Dance/Electronic Album and Best Dance Pop Recording for "Von Dutch". Charli XCX has also written for Selena Gomez, Blondie, and Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
