Charli XCX Is the Future of Pop Music, and These 10 Songs Prove It

Charli's 2013 album True Romance was her first step onto the music scene. While songs like "Cloud Aura" and "Nuclear Seasons" embody the sound Charli started off with, "You - Ha Ha Ha" brought, and still brings, the emotion that made heads turn.

In 2017, Charli XCX released Number 1 Angel, an electric album that launched herself into a different field of pop music. "Lipgloss", with Charli's friend and rapper cupcakKe, is fun. Plain and simple.

"Famous" is off of Charli's 2014 album Sucker. It's a pump-up song that will make any walk down the street more glamorous and anyone feel, well, famous. Sort of.

Honestly, iconic.

This is probably one of Charli XCX's most cutting-edge pop singles. Accompanied by Kim Petras and Jay Park, it more than delivers the Charli vibe that fans have quickly fallen for.

If you saw The Fault In Our Stars or had working ears during the year 2014, there was no escaping this song. It's the hit that broke Charli into the mainstream for a reason: it's that good.

Charli's most recent single, "No Angel," is for anyone who's made mistakes. The release comes at a time where the rise of her stardom is greater than ever (and it's only going up).

Also off Pop 2, "Femmebot" is a cool and mysterious dance song perfect for any party.

Another recent song by Charli XCX, "5 In The Morning" was her first single of 2018, becoming everything fans wanted and more.

"ILY2" secures the number one spot on this list because of its embodiment of everything Charli XCX is and does as an artist. The beat and lyrics, surrounded by an echo that is powerfully present in many of Charli's songs, perfectly sums up a list that represents her as the pop queen of our generation (@ me, because it's true).
