Charli xcx's Official Top 20 biggest songs in the UK revealed

Charli XCX is living that life, Von dutch. 

Ever the pop chameleon, Charli changed tack yet again for her sixth studio album BRAT, seeking to re-position her in a more electronic oeuvre with an LP that tackles elements of gossip, jealousy and indulgence with free-flowing aplomb. 

This is all displayed on lead single, Von dutch; a glitchy electro-pop rager all about Charli batting away other people's perceptions of her. Von dutch's provocative video sees Charli rip around France's Charles de Gaulle Airport, all the while pushing off the advances of an intrusive cameraman, before jumping off the wing of a jumbo jet. All in a day's work for a big pop girl, of course.

She takes it even further on the slick 360, which lampoons Charli's internet It-girl persona with aplomb, even more so in the viral music video, which included eye-catching cameos from internet starlets like Rachel Sennot and Hari Nef, as well as long-time Cool Girl muse, Chloe Sevigny.

We finally reached the apex of BRAT summer when a remix of deluxe track Guess, featuring none other than Billie Eilish, debuted straight in at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart - gifting Charli her second overall Number 1 (and first in 12 years!), as well as her first chart-topper as lead artist. 

With the release of BRAT's long-awaited remix album Brat and it's completely different but also still brat, guest vocalists like Ariana Grande, Shygirl and Tinashe help transform Charli's club opus into a more gelatinous and ephemeral rave experience, disconnected from much of the commercial ambition that saw BRAT become by and far the most successful album of Charli's creator.

Wherever she ends up next, trust that she'll always be ahead of the curve. 

Throughout her career, Charli's chameleonic nature and her desire to never settle into one specfic sound or groove has been her biggest strength, and at times her biggest weakness. Now, we can see the full-breadth of her magpie-like nature in her Official biggest songs ever in the UK, which oscillates from forward-thinking hyper-pop anthems like Gone with Christine and the Queens (20), soul-selling commercial pop sacrifice Good Ones (17) and no less than three BRAT tracks in the wider Top 20; Von dutch (15), Top 10 viral hit Apple (14) and 360 (12).

To date, Charli has racked up a total of eight UK Top 10 hits on the Official Singles Chart, two UK Number 1 singles (Icona Pop collab I Love It and Guess with Billie Eilish) and one chart-topping album (CRASH).

She's, in many ways, one of the ultimate pop collaborators, too. We reveal the full Top 20 list below, which includes link-ups with the likes of Lizzo, Mura Masa and Rita Ora.

But first, here's a closer look at the Top 5:

5. 1999 (ft. Troye Sivan)

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 13
Total UK chart units: 684,000

Teaming up with Australian popstar Troye Sivan, the pop culture references included in 1999 helped to make it one of Charli's biggest recent successes. Its meme-able video helps the track garner the third-most streams of any Charli track (76 million UK streams to date).

Proving that Charli and Troye have a special synergy as collaborators, they've linked up twice more since (on left-of-centre 2099 from Charli and the recent Talk talk remix from the Brat remix album) and are right now on the road together throughout the US on the Sweat tour.

4. Boom Clap

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 6
Total UK chart units: 786,000

Like all great Boom Clap is deceivingly simple; it starts with a boom and ends with a clap, but not everyone can pull off a pop tune this straight. Charli entered true solo supremacy on this breezy and confident single from The Fault in Our Stars film soundtrack, which helped launch her (misunderstood!!) second record Sucker. With 58 million UK streams its name so far, Boom Clap still sounds like falling in love all over again.

3. Out Out (with Joel Corry, Jax Jones and Saweetie)

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 6
Total UK chart units: 948,000

If we're going out out for the night...

Charli may have waxed lyrical about giving into major label machinations for her fifth album CRASH, but the most obvious 'sell-out' moment of that cycle was when Charli leant her vocals to this chaotic banger from Joel Corry and Jax Jones, with an eye-catching (but very short) verse from Saweetie, which sampled Stromae's Alors on Danse.

Out Out actually blows the competition away, coming in as Charli's most-streamed song ever in the UK, with over 114 million streams.

2. Fancy (with Iggy Azalea)

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 5
Total UK chart units: 1.3 million

Who dat, who dat? Iggy Azalea hit Charli up for the memorable hook in her biggest hit, Fancy. A Number 1 hit in the US, it had to settle for a peak of Number 5 here. Don't feel too bad, though. Fancy is Charli's third most-streamed track (100 million UK streams to date). However, it's still her most-streamed video, with 12 million plays in the UK.

1. I Love It (with Icona Pop)

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1
Total UK chart units: 1.5 million

An incendiary hit upon release, Charli originally wrote I Love it for inclusion on her alt-pop debut album True Romance, but it didn't fit the gothic sonics of the record and was instead given to Swedish girl group Icona Pop.

A lot was made at the time of Charli giving away such a massive hit, but she still soaked up most of the song's momentum. Hitting Number 1 in the UK after a laborious trip to the top (which included a feature in Lena Dunham's TV series Girls), I Love It is Charli's best-selling song in the UK with total chart units in excess of 1.3 million and counting, including 101 million UK streams and 590,000 downloads.
