Charli XCX Brat

Pop star Charli XCX initially feared her record label might drop her over her 2024 album, Brat, which she made thinking it was “just for me”.

The album garnered nine Grammy nominations, winning three, and secured five Brit Awards, including Album of the Year and Artist of the Year.
