Her Rise to the Top
Charli XCX began her career posting songs on Myspace in 2008, before immersing herself in the London rave scene. She signed a recording contract with Asylum Records in 2010 and released a string of singles and mixtapes through the early 2010s. Her breakthrough moment came in 2012, when she co-wrote and featured on Icona Pop's 'I Love It' — her first UK number-one single, which earned global recognition.
Her debut album, True Romance (2013), fell short of commercial expectations, but the trajectory changed sharply with her fifth studio album, Crash, which became her first number-one album in both the UK and Australia. She also contributed the UK top-ten single 'Speed Drive' to the soundtrack of the 2023 film Barbie. Her sixth album, Brat, earned her a second UK number-one album.
A Prolific Songwriter Beyond Her Own Work
Charli XCX's influence in pop extends well beyond her solo releases. She has co-written hits for a diverse roster of artists, including Iggy Azalea's 'Beg for It', Selena Gomez's 'Same Old Love', Will.i.am's 'Boys & Girls', Blondie's 'Tonight', Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's 'Señorita', Sigala and Rita Ora's 'You for Me', and Katseye's 'Gabriela'. Her songwriting credits across genres underscore a creative range that separates her from most of her pop contemporaries.
With the European and South American dates on the horizon, Charli XCX appears set to carry the momentum of a career-defining period well into the next year.
