Charli XCX Expects Next Album To Flop After Breakthrough Success

Charli XCX has openly expressed that she does not feel pressured to replicate the commercial success of her 2024 album, Brat, and anticipates her next album might "flop." She emphasized that Brat was a personal project made without expectations of its reception, which unexpectedly connected with a wide audience and earned her critical acclaim, including three Grammy wins. Charli shared the difficulty of moving on from the Brat era, describing it as an inherent part of her identity and recognizing the natural ebbs and flows of cultural moments, including oversaturation and audience fatigue. Despite this, she embraces the possibility of her next work not achieving the same level of success, viewing it as a natural progression and a creative risk she is willing to take. Additionally, Charli is expanding her career into film, with an A24 movie called The Moment in development, signaling a new artistic chapter beyond music. The artist's candid reflections highlight her acceptance of the evolving nature of fame and artistic expression.
