In 2012, she was featured on "I Love It" by the Swedish duo Icona Pop, which became her first UK number-one single and achieved international success. Her debut studio album, "True Romance" (2013), received positive reviews but did not meet commercial expectations. In 2014, Charli xcx appeared on Iggy Azalea’s single "Fancy," which became her most streamed song and one of the year's best-selling singles. That same year, she released "Boom Clap," her first solo top-ten single in the United States. Her second studio album, "Sucker" (2014), yielded the singles "Break the Rules" and "Doing It." Beginning in 2015, she worked with producers linked to the UK collective PC Music, adopting a more experimental sound. This period included the release of the EP "Vroom Vroom" (2016) and the mixtapes "Number 1 Angel" and "Pop 2" (both 2017). Her third studio album, "Charli" (2019), included the hit single "1999." Her fourth studio album, "How I'm Feeling Now" (2020), was created during the COVID-19 lockdowns and received critical acclaim. Her fifth studio album, "Crash" (2022), became her first number-one album in the UK and Australia. She contributed the UK top-ten single "Speed Drive" to the soundtrack of the 2023 film "Barbie." Her sixth studio album, "Brat" (2024), became her second UK number-one album and was named the best album of 2024 by outlets including Billboard and Rolling Stone. It produced the UK top-ten hit "Apple," and its accompanying remix album generated her second number-one single, "Guess," featuring Billie Eilish. "Brat" and its associated works received eight Grammy Award nominations at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards and won three: Best Dance Pop Recording for "Von Dutch," Best Dance/Electronic Album, and Best Recording Package.
