Get ready for lift-off! British pop sensation Charli XCX is taking fans on an electrifying journey through her top five songs, and it's a wild ride. As she releases her highly anticipated new album 'Music, Fashion, Film' today (24 July 2026), the chart-topping artist has given us the ultimate insight into what makes her music tick.
The countdown begins with the sentimental powerhouse that is 'Stay Away', her debut official release from 2013's 'True Romance'. For Charli XCX, this track is a deeply personal anthem – one she still revisits and adores for its timeless appeal. Next up is the euphoric masterpiece 'Next Level Charli' (2019), which she describes as "the ultimate party song" with a twist: an underlying sadness about not wanting to leave the party.
Track three is the unstoppable '365' remix, featuring Shygirl, from her 'Brat' remix record. This one's a foot-stomper that also wears its heart on its sleeve – it's the perfect blend of joy and longing. The fourth pick is the critically acclaimed 'Track 10', from her 2017 mixtape 'Pop 2'. Charli XCX proudly calls this one "one of my most favourite songs I've ever made" – a true masterpiece that showcases her versatility.
Rounding out her top five is the game-changing 'Vroom Vroom' (2015), her first collaboration with the legendary late producer SOPHIE. This song is more than just a hit – it's a testament to Charli XCX's fearless approach to experimentation and innovation.
But that's not all, folks! Charli XCX also gave fans a sneak peek into her latest work, highlighting 'No One Lasts Forever', featuring David Cronenberg from 'Music, Fashion, Film'. This one might just be her most personal creation yet – she calls it "one of my most favourite songs I've ever written". With the album already generating buzz with singles like 'Rock Music', 'SS26', 'Wink Wink', and 'Camera', this new release is set to propel Charli XCX's star even higher.
And what's next for this pop powerhouse? Get ready for her headline debut at Reading & Leeds Festival in August – an event that draws tens of thousands of music enthusiasts. Following that, she'll embark on a North American arena tour with Underscores, kicking off in September. With this busy schedule and 'Music, Fashion, Film' dropping today, it's clear that Charli XCX is about to take the world by storm.
