  • Charli XCX 'Famous' Video Gets Gruesome, Takes On Internet Culture For YouTube Music Awards [WATCH]

    Charli XCX has released a video for her single "Famous" off her latest album Sucker as part of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards. Ironically, the video takes down the very self-obsessed Internet culture that YouTube helped spawn. Directed by Eric Wareheim of Adult Swim's Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, the clip shows a Charli XCX fan, dressed like Charli in a Charli-themed room, trying to dance along to a Charli music video that she's watching on her cellphone. Then things take a dark, grotesque turn.

  • Charli XCX Records Japanese Versions of 'Boom Clap,' 'Break The Rules' [LISTEN]

    Even though Charli XCX's great new album Sucker was released in the United States on Dec. 15, it doesn't come out in Japan until Feb. 8 for whatever reason. As a special treat for her Japanese fans who have been forced to wait so long on the album (the ones who haven't illegally downloaded it, anyway), XCX has recorded Japanese versions of two of the album's singles as bonus tracks: "Boom Clap" and "Break The Rules," which you can check out below. In true J-Pop fashion, these versions find XCX singing mostly in Japanese, but switching over to English for some key phrases (apparently there's no Japanese translation for "boom clap").
