Charli XCX Thinks She's 'Underrated' So Here Are The Songs You Should Know
Charli XCX is a name that everybody knows, thanks to her dynamic personality, goals AF lifestyle and the fact she makes the most exciting music in pop.
However,many people still sleep on that last point, despite her releasing two incredible mixtapes last year,'Number 1 Angel'and'POP 2', where she has created her own genre of frenetic, bubblegum-crash emo party anthems.
Despite writing some of the most memorable hits of thisdecade and releasing countless bops of her own, Charli has said what we're all thinking: "I think i'm underrated."
She tweeted that plain statement yesterday and, frankly, we couldn't agree more but it needs to change.'Now'.
One-off single'Boys' got the critical acclaim (rightly so), 'Boom Clap' was her breakthrough hit (still amazing), everyone and their grandma knows Icona Pop's 'I Love It' (a song!)and 'Fancy' is the worldwide smash our girl deserved.
Amazingly, these songs only scratch the surface with Miss XCX and there are many more bangers that deserve the world's attention.
From her debut album to last month's'POP 2', we're going through the XCX catalogue to tell you the 10 songs you need to know...
Superlove - Charli XCX
Should have been Number 1.

'Beautiful.'

A timeless bop that she would never release in 2018 but is amazing nonetheless.
