CHARLI XCX

Charli XCX (born Charlotte Emma Aitchison August 2, 1992) is one of pop's most versatile creative voices. Emerging initially through illegal raves as a teenager, Charli signed a major-label deal in 2010, before releasing an auteuristic debut album, True Romance. A song left off that record given to Swedish girl group Iconic Pop - I Love It - proved to be her big breakthrough, becoming Charli's first UK Number 1 hit.

Scoring numerous Top 40 singles, her 2020 album How I'm Feeling Now, recorded in 30 days during COVID-19 isolation, was nominated for the Hyundai Mercury Prize. In 2022, Charli's fifth album Crash became her first UK Number 1 album.

Two years later, an iconic campaign for her follow-up album BRAT with its instantly recognisable green lo-fi sleeve artwork, saw the UK (and the world) encouraged to live a BRAT summer, even American presidential candidate Kamala Harris got in on the trend. The record reached Number 2.

On 9 August 2024, a remix of a song that featured on the deluxe version of BRAT gave Charli her first UK Number 1 single as a lead artist. The Guess remix featuring global superstar Billie Eilish helped propel the track all the way to the top of the Official Singles Chart.
