Charli XCX has shared a new, limited edition version of her Grammy-nominated BRAT, this time titled brat and it’s completely different (offering the same remixes featured on this fall’s brat and it’s completely different but it’s still brat). The new physical release isn’t just a new way for fans of our No. 1 album of 2024 to enjoy the hits; the vinyl itself is also, appropriately, filled with a white powder.
Available via Blood Records, brat and it’s completely different will only be available to pre-order until 10am ET on January 31st. Score a copy here.
This weekend, Charli will vie for Album of the Year (among six other categories) at the 67th Grammy Awards, where she’s also slated to perform. See the full list of 2025 Grammy nominations here.
As twilight for the BRAT era finally seems to be approaching, Charli is gearing up for a major acting turn: she’s slated to produce and appear in an A24 film based on a concept of her own. With additional projects on the horizon, she’ll also be appearing in a remake of the 1978 horror film Faces of Death, an adventure comedy titled Sacrifice, a Poland-based Pete Ohs film titled Erupcja, and Overcompensating, the Benito Skinner comedy series where she earned a guest role.

Calling all ‘365’ party girls! Charli xcx has launched a limited edition ‘Brat‘ vinyl, filled with “white powder“.
Set to launch on February 28, ‘brat and it’s completely different’ has been created by unusual vinyl specialists Bad World, and will be distributed by limited press platform Blood Records.
In a homage to the hedonistic motifs of “‘Brat’ Summer“, disc one is filled with a white powder that shifts and moves as the record spins, while disc two has a clean white press.
Blood Records posted a demonstration of the record on Instagram, describing the vinyl as “a remix project pressed exclusively to white powder filled LP.” Underneath the clip, Charli commented: “salt !”
Bad World made headlines last year with another tongue-in-cheek design, having created “bathwater” liquid-filled vinyl for the Saltburn motion picture soundtrack. The team has also developed a “diamond-filled” LP for Elton John’s ‘Diamonds: The Greatest Hits’ and a “honey-filled” record for Troye Silvan’s ‘Something To Give Each Other’.
The design has been met with a mixed reaction from social media users, with some praising the cheeky nod — instagram user heterpenry commented on Blood Records’ post: “we have cocaine filled AND cum filled records. the world is so beautiful,” while another added: “coke vinyl is certainly a new one but i love it!”
Others have slammed the design, accusing Charli of “glamourising drug use.” Twitter user @folkloreilidh wrote: “I really hate to be that “too woke” friend but the glamourising of drugs that this “era” has brought is in fact really boring. As someone who’s watched people’s lives be destroyed by drugs both in my personal life and in work, it seems so damaging in my opinion.”
‘brat and it’s completely different’ will be available to pre-order from Bad World for the next two hours for £55.00, head to Bad World’s website to get yours.

The Beatles – Now and Then Beyoncé – Texas Hold ’Em Sabrina Carpenter – Espresso Charli xcx – 360 Billie Eilish – Birds of a Feather Kendrick Lamar – Not Like Us Chappell Roan – Good Luck, Babe! Taylor Swift – Fortnight (ft Post Malone)
Since the Grammys expanded their top category to eight (and briefly 10) nominations, there’s tended to be a bit of filler – but not so this year, where little separates this impossible-to-call field of Recording Academy darlings. Lamar has 17 wins from 57 nominations, and while his Drake-destroying Not Like Us might seem too combative for the Academy, its huge US cultural impact and jawdropping brio means that it is very much the record of the year to many – and Drake is no friend of the Grammys, having often snubbed or criticised them. Fortnight is one of the more muted singles by Swift (14 wins from 58 noms) and might not cut through, though the industry may want to reward her for the record-breaking Eras tour – but the strength of the pure pop here, split between her, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx and Billie Eilish (the latter another Grammy fave with nine wins from 32 noms) will mean that perhaps none will triumph. Additonally, the Beatles have the slight advantage of being the most universally loved band in history. But Beyoncé has more Grammys than all of them and indeed anyone, and the hoe-down of Texas Hold ’Em was such a bold flourish and big hit that it will have Grammy voters – who value craft and chops – admiring Beyoncé’s capacity for making country music her own.
Will win Beyoncé Should win Kendrick Lamar

Album of the year
André 3000 – New Blue Sun Beyoncé – Cowboy Carter Sabrina Carpenter – Short N’ Sweet Charli xcx – Brat Jacob Collier – Djesse Vol 4 Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft Chappell Roan – The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess Taylor Swift – The Tortured Poets Department
For the same reason, I think Beyoncé will triumph in the AOTY category. Particularly since she has never won it, having lost to Swift, Beck, Adele and Harry Styles in previous years – a snub now seen as the great injustice of the Academy, and, to some, evidence of racial bias: “AOTY, I ain’t win / I ain’t stuntin’ ’bout them / Take that shit on the chin / Come back and fuck up the pen,” as Beyoncé sings on album track Sweet Honey Buckin’. Cowboy Carter isn’t the most well-loved of her albums, and yet the boldness of its chaps-clad vision will impress the Academy. Brat is of course only the album title here to pass into the cultural lexicon – and to my mind, its emotional extremity makes it the best here – but electro-pop like this has never done well in this category. More likely to cause an upset is Roan, whose debut was equally sensational but whose blend of power balladry and theatrical pop has a more conventionally Academy-pleasing bent.
Will win Beyoncé Should win Charli xcx
Song of the year
Shaboozey – A Bar Song (Tipsy) Billie Eilish – Birds of a Feather Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga – Die With a Smile Taylor Swift – Fortnight (ft Post Malone) Chappell Roan – Good Luck, Babe! Kendrick Lamar – Not Like Us Sabrina Carpenter – Please Please Please Beyoncé – Texas Hold ’Em
Enter two big beasts in Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, whose Die With a Smile reached 1bn streams on Spotify faster than any other song in history – and 15-time winner Mars is adored by the Academy, with 24k Magic beating Kendrick Lamar’s masterpiece Damn to AOTY in 2018. But this is a songwriting award, and Die With a Smile’s lyrics are really hackneyed (“our love’s the only war worth fighting for”), particularly when compared with Roan’s tale of suppressed lesbian desire and Carpenter’s hilarious Please Please Please, in which she manages a wildcard lover with more diplomacy than a UN special envoy. Shaboozey’s A Bar Song (Tipsy) might split the vote with Beyoncé’s similarly minded song; Eilish won last year with Barbie ballad What Was I Made For? and Birds of a Feather was an even bigger hit; you can never discount Swift, either. But if we’re looking at lyrics, who wrote and delivered them better than Lamar? Not Like Us – the only song here with a single songwriter – is the diss track by which all others will now be judged.
Higher stakes here than in recent years: these are all proper mega-streaming pop stars, except Khruangbin (who are still an arena-playing band, though their inclusion here a decade into their career feels a bit random). It’s really which of them feels the most mega of all: Shaboozey had the biggest hit, yet Sabrina Carpenter had more of them. Chappell Roan’s drag-ball fantasias made her a mould-breaking new star, and yet there’s a traditional quality to her songwriting that gives her cross-generational appeal. I think there’s a small chance of an upset from Doechii, the kind of MC the Academy loves – puckish, vital, anti-mumbling – whose widely loved Tiny Desk concert and late night TV appearances were perfectly timed for the December voting period.

Best pop solo performance
Beyoncé – Bodyguard Sabrina Carpenter – Espresso Charli xcx – Apple Billie Eilish – Birds of a Feather Chappell Roan – Good Luck, Babe!
Given Brat’s success and Apple’s virality, you might expect Charli xcx to walk this in her catwalk-swaggering, spit-slurping manner, but this is formidable company. Here’s another category that Beyoncé has never won, though Bodyguard doesn’t have the same pop cultural clout as the rest of these songs, while Eilish’s song is pleasant but not her most distinctive performance. So here’s hoping one of pop’s class of 2024 can net it: Roan’s warbling on Good Luck, Babe! makes it the most showboating vocal, but my own favourite performance is Carpenter on Espresso, purring with disdain and self-aware sensuality, as her languor paradoxically enhances the song’s groove.
Will win Chappell Roan Should win Sabrina Carpenter
Best rock performance
The Beatles – Now and Then The Black Keys – Beautiful People (Stay High) Green Day – The American Dream Is Killing Me Idles – Gift Horse Pearl Jam – Dark Matter St Vincent – Broken Man
The Beatles gathering around the piano, conjured by AI, was incredibly poignant – and wish-fulfilment for many members of the Academy. Their maximalist yet gentle song is also one of the best in this crop, filled out with bands in their comfort zone (Green Day, Idles) and some utterly anonymous ballast from the Black Keys. St Vincent would be a worthy curveball winner, whose Broken Man goes from Nine Inch Nails-ish prowl to fuzz-blues stomp, but the best – and the most purely rocking – is Pearl Jam’s Dark Matter, a funky broadside against demagogues with a hint of I Love Rock’n’Roll to its opening riff.
Will win The Beatles Should win Pearl Jam
Kendrick Lamar: Not Like Us – video
Best rap performance
Cardi B – Enough (Miami) Common and Pete Rock – When the Sun Shines Again (ft Posdnuos) Doechii – Nissan Altima Eminem – Houdini Future and Metro Boomin – Like That (ft Kendrick Lamar) GloRilla – Yeah Glo! Kendrick Lamar – Not Like Us
Lamar surely has this sewn up, and yet his presence on Like That – the track that kicked off the entire Drake imbroglio – increases the chances of a split vote. Zipping up the inside lane could be Doechii, whose Nissan Altima is two minutes of relentless laser-brained mic skill. Compare it with Eminem’s Houdini: also technically brilliant, but lumbering and unfunny. There’s a sop to the old heads with Common and Pete Rock, though their track is boringly cheery – much better are GloRilla and Cardi B, each efficiently dismantling their respective antagonists (the latter’s characterisation of a certain piece of a rival’s anatomy as “regular-degular” will have you spitting out your drink).
Will win Kendrick Lamar Should win Kendrick Lamar
Best country solo performance
Beyoncé – 16 Carriages Jelly Roll – I Am Not Okay Kacey Musgraves – The Architect Shaboozey – A Bar Song (Tipsy) Chris Stapleton – It Takes a Woman
In a pretty strait-laced category that has been won by either Chris Stapleton or Willie Nelson in six of the last nine years, the traditionalists will be forced to branch out a little this year. Yes, Stapleton is in the mix, but with a song from the same album as last year’s winner White Horse – and more of a soul ballad at that. Musgraves’ song has a handsome, classic feel and will appeal to any pop-averse voters put off by the rest, including Jelly Roll’s glossy pop-rock power ballad. Beyoncé winning a country category would be historic and there will be those egging her on – but Shaboozey will probably triumph here. Not just for the sheer pop cultural dominance of A Bar Song (Tipsy), but because its third-beer buoyancy makes it a wonderful song.

The 2025 Grammys are just around the corner, and the competition is fierce. Chappell, chaps, Brat, and rap spats are all vying for the top spot, but only one can come out on top.
Chappell, with its smooth melodies and soulful lyrics, has been capturing hearts and minds all year. Its emotional depth and raw honesty have resonated with listeners of all ages, making it a strong contender for the coveted Grammy award.
Chaps, on the other hand, brings a fresh and innovative sound to the table. With its catchy hooks and infectious beats, it has quickly become a favorite among fans of all genres. Its unique blend of country and pop influences has set it apart from the competition, making it a strong contender for the top prize.
Brat, with its bold and unapologetic lyrics, has been making waves in the music industry all year. Its fierce attitude and powerful vocals have earned it a loyal following, and its message of empowerment and self-acceptance has struck a chord with fans around the world.
Rap spats, with its clever wordplay and intricate rhymes, has been dominating the charts all year. Its infectious energy and undeniable charisma have propelled it to the top of the music scene, making it a frontrunner for the Grammy award.
So, who will – and should – win at the 2025 Grammys? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: no matter who takes home the top prize, it’s sure to be a night to remember.
The nominations for this year’s Brit Awards have been revealed – and after Brat summer, now we have a Brat Brits.
The singer, whose sixth album was a viral hit last year, leads the nominations with five nods, including artist of the year, album of the year and song of the year for her hit Guess, with Billie Eilish.
Brat, which featured simple “slime green” artwork, was a huge hit for Charli xcx, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison – inspiring everyone from presidential candidate Kamala Harris to the Collins Dictionary, which made it its word of the year for 2024.
In the Brits race, she is closely followed by Dua Lipa, who opened the 2024 ceremony and also headlined Glastonbury last year, who has four nominations – along with 2024 rising star winners The Last Dinner Party, and 2023 Mercury Prize winners Ezra Collective.

And more than 30 years since their last Brits nomination, The Cure are back with three – following the release of their 14th album, Songs Of A Lost World, in 2024.
Elsewhere, there are nominations for international artists such as Beyonce, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Kendrick Lamar and Sabrina Carpenter, as well as homegrown talent such as Central Cee, Fred again.., Sam Fender and former Little Mix star JADE.

It is also a great year for Myles Smith, who has already been named the winner of this year’s rising star award, which recognises up-and-coming musicians at the start of their career and is always announced ahead of the ceremony.
He is also up for three other gongs on the night – best new artist, song of the year – for Stargazing – and best pop act.
“Music has always been about connecting with people, and to see it resonate on this level is incredible,” Smith said of the rising star win.

The winners of the songwriter and producer of the year awards will also be announced ahead of the show in the coming weeks, organisers said.

Charli xcx‘s BRAT roll-out has been anything but ordinary. The critically acclaimed 2024 LP by the British pop star has received two special editions and millions of memes centered around lighthearted TikTok dances to controversial political tweets. Now Charli has revealed that her chaos was cultivated long before “BRAT Summer” took place.
On her private Instagram account 360_brat, the artist shared images of a manifesto for the BRAT album written in the Summer of 2023. “The artwork for Brat will be obnoxious, arrogant, and bold. Some people will hate it.” “It will be heavily text-based, either font on a plain background or painted on a wall or disregarded object,” she said.

The manifesto further reveals that the progressive marketing strategies behind BRAT were rooted in her original intentions. “This is Global. I will provide the momentum and tell the story in a laser focussed way. We must execute everything with power and confidence, she explained. Charli said in another slide, “There is no explanation for what I do. The answer is always ‘no comment’. We must cultivate desire, chaos, and destruction. The whole album campaign is high art.”
Charli’s tone is reminiscent of the Pop Art philosophy of artist Andy Warhol, who was famous for his visual exploration of early celebrity and mass marketing. And it seems that her laser focus paid off, as BRAT racked up seven Grammy nominations including Album of the Year and Record of the Year, and later became 2024’s most critically acclaimed album, according to data from Metacritic.

Charli XCX didn’t just make an album with Brat—she crafted a manifesto. The Apple hitmaker recently revealed the bold vision behind her Grammy-nominated project, detailing how she planned to dominate the charts and redefine pop culture.

Released in June, Brat debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, becoming Charli’s highest-charting album to date, but the journey to global success started long before its release.
Taking to her private Instagram, Charli shared the conceptual framework that guided every aspect of the album, from its polarizing artwork to its chaotic yet meticulously executed marketing.
“The artwork for Brat will be obnoxious, arrogant, and bold. Some people will hate it,” Charli wrote, describing the album’s stark, text-heavy cover. “It will be heavily text-based, either font on a plain background or painted on a wall or disregarded object.”
The bold strategy extended far beyond visuals. Charli shared that the entire album campaign was conceived as a mix of “high art” and “low art,” blending avant-garde chaos with mainstream celebrity culture.
“The whole album campaign is high art. But it is also crucial to understand the benefit of low art and celebrity. The coupling of the two is vital.”
“There is no explanation for what I do,” she explained. “The answer is always ‘No comment.’ We must cultivate desire, chaos, and destruction.”
The Brat rollout also saw Charli teasing unfinished demos at underground raves to build anticipation. “You need to understand my vision. This is global. I will provide momentum and tell the story in a laser-focused way,” she declared. Her fanbase, known as the Angels, became a pivotal part of the campaign’s success. “The Angels are ready and waiting. This is the moment.”
In a recent interview for Variety’s Hitmakers issue, Charli revealed that the marketing concept for Brat came before the music.
“Usually when I’ve made a record, there is this transitional phase [after it’s recorded], where I’m thinking about how to present the music. But with this one, I actually did that first,” she shared.
Charli’s meticulous approach paid off as Brat debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 77,000 equivalent album units in its first week, including 40,000 pure album sales and 46.72 million on-demand streams. The album’s longevity has been equally impressive, returning to its No. 3 peak in its nineteenth week and topping Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
Charli XCX has always been known for her innovative and boundary-pushing music, and her latest album ‘Brat’ is no exception. In a recent interview, the pop star shared the vision that inspired the creation of this highly anticipated project.
According to Charli XCX, ‘Brat’ is all about embracing your inner rebellious spirit and not being afraid to break the rules. She wanted to create an album that was unapologetically bold and unafraid to push the boundaries of traditional pop music.
The album is a mix of high-energy anthems and introspective ballads, with Charli XCX’s signature edgy style shining through in every track. From the infectious beats of “Good Ones” to the vulnerable lyrics of “New Shapes,” ‘Brat’ is a testament to the singer’s versatility and talent.
Fans can expect to hear a fresh and exciting sound from Charli XCX on ‘Brat,’ as she continues to push the boundaries of pop music and carve out her own unique lane in the industry. With her fearless attitude and undeniable talent, there’s no doubt that Charli XCX is set to take the music world by storm once again with this latest project.
