I love Charli XCX. I haven't had a crush this big on a musician since Baby Spice. I've been listening to her music non-stop since July in anticipation for Charli (2019) and it was everything I dreamed of. If I'm showering or shaving, you're probably gonna catch me listening to some XCX. I am absolutely the biggest Charli stan on CE

I compiled this list on Wednesday because I couldn't sleep and I want to share it with y'all. There's probably like 5 fans on this board, so I hope I can convert some people with this list. This topic might also get ZERO POSTS, so I might tag some people, who knows? Expect 2 or 3 songs a day

20. Superlove (Single)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPWcX-16A9Y" data-time="


This single came out between True Romance and Sucker and it marries the distinctive goth rave and guitar punk-rocky sounds. No songs were nearly as radio friendly before Superlove came along

19. Next Level Charli (Charli)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mhfE_vzwjo" data-time="


The opener to her newest album will also be opening her concerts for a while until she inevitably grows to hate it. Charli has been working with A. G. Cook for a while and she puts her own spin on Big Bratt. It's short. It's sweet. It completely defines Charli

18. Boom Clap (Sucker)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOPMlIIg_38" data-time="


Everyone knows this song. It's her biggest mainstream moment after Fancy and I Love It. The chorus is absolutely massive, but that's really the only thing memorable here

Nope

17. Grins (True Romance)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSIofshQ-HE" data-time="


The Blood Diamonds sample is everything here. Grins is just ethereal

16. 5 in the Morning (Single)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qyUb4OU_P8" data-time="


This was another loosie from last year. Charli had us eating with 2 mixtapes the year prior, so I was starving for new music. This song is very hip hop and I love that she didn't feature an artist here

Never heard any of her songs but she's really hot I've seen pics of her in concerts and she's pretty much showing her panties/booty shorts/yoga pants/cleavage/etc....in a lot of them

15. Click (Charli)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK3mbxs7IOU" data-time="


The production on this song is insane. Kim Petras and Tommy Cash have some of the best features on the album. Kim stunts, Cash ad-libs, and the end will have you turning your headphones WAY down for health reasons

14. Dreamer (Number1Angel)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqEIiwnJXUI" data-time="


This is another massive hook that any pop fan will know. I liked this song a lot more when I thought it was Charli on the second verse, but it isn't

13. Famous (Sucker)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f5A4DnGtis" data-time="


Sucker is a weird fit in the Charli discography, but it does have some bangers and this is the best. She's really not a very good singer, but who cares? This is so catchy

This was an instant favorite the first time I heard it. The production is raw and ruthless and Charli sounds great over it. The positive chorus really brings a nice balance to the song

11. Backseat (Pop 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiGqKwy4yM0" data-time="


For a collab between two of the internet's most adored popstars, this song is incredibly low-key. Charli has never been one to go after a feature just for the name like a certain DJ Khaled though. This song was carefully crafted to fit Charli and Carly Rae Jepson and I wouldn't want it any other way

10. Nuclear Seasons (True Romance)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGmM2l39LEs" data-time="


This was the best of gothic rave Charli. The intro is on the album and not this video and it perfectly sets up the album. Revisiting the Blood Diamonds sample in Grins is one of the coolest production choices ever

9. White Roses (Number1Angel)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaHt106IqkY" data-time="


This beat is guaranteed to immediately snatch your wig. I mentioned that White Mercedes was a little too "try-hard radio friendly" for Charli. This is how to properly do a ballad without sacrificing a signature sound

Charli served up the double-single (dingle?) of Focus/No Angel last year when we were all fiending for new music. This was the ultimate amuse-bouche before the album dropped a year later

So there's the blood-curdling autotune scream during the second verse and it's really just one of the coolest production moves ever. A. G. Cook and Charli are the truth

5. Thoughts (Charli)

This is Charli's most introspective and personal song to date. It's also one of her best vocal performances. The songs without features on the latest album are all damn good

You really ought to know this one by now. It was definitely song of the summer for me. I think Christine wrote most of the song, so the chorus is kinda goofy and nonsensical, but it's just so big and sexy

Pretty surprising top 25 tbh, not quite what I wouldve done for sure but I think that just really shows her strength as an artist, it seems like every fan has their own favorites and she has few songs it seems everyone can decide on

a top 25 without a single vroom vroom track? I think not!

I also think Girls Night Out or I Got It could easily sneak in there

2. Vroom Vroom (Vroom Vroom EP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfAqtFuGjWM" data-time="


This is the song that really gets the crowd going ape shit at her shows. SOPHIE did wondrous things for Charli's career with the Vroom Vroom EP. In retrospect, Sucker is a fun, weird little punk project and it doesn't really deserve the hate it gets. I'm so glad Charli was able to move away from that sound though and her music has been amazing and it all starts with this track
