Imagine having gone to LA Pride in June of 2016 and watching Charli perform Grins and Round & Round in that pink outfit and then going to the legendary Exchange Concert later that year in October and then being invited to a pool party at a motel in April of 2017 where Charli DJ'd for a bit and played Ring + WGFU and performed Lipgloss with Cupcakke and Brooke Candy to an intimate crowd?? That's the pinnacle of gay life

it's up there with Need Ur Luv and Famous
my sleep deprived mind KJDFJ did I state facts tho?
track 10 is like the sonic equivalent of an abstract painting, some people swear it's the best thing they've ever heard but it's just a big ugly clusterfuck of noises

Who made this tea???

I couldn't think of anything worse...

not with that attitude you dumb bitch!!! 

Responding to why she can't seem to get an album out, this is my thoughts...
 
Charli is in a compromising position when it comes to her label... True Romance bombed after three attempts to launch the era, she was an alternative pop artist in 2011 through to 2013 and I don't think they knew how to manage to her. With Sucker they didn't really have anything to lose, only gain until the success of Fancy and Boom Clap. Once Boom Clap became a huge global hit, Sucker was delayed and watered to down to be more pop and appealing - even the single choices prove this. She had two top 10 hits and top 20 album in the UK. I think at this time her label kind of had an idea of who she was as a popstar and how to market her.
 
Then in 2015 she changed her sound again, obviously her vision for XCX3 being much more pop - but experimental. Vroom Vroom marked the beginning of the 3rd album era and she even stated she wanted it to be the first single from the album. Atlantic obviously didn't want to push the SOPHIE tracks (being too inaccessible for the GP), hence her launching her own label and releasing it that way. Once again Atlantic got her to water down the music and make it more commercial, After The Afterparty being the lead single and it flopped, just making the top 40 in the UK.
 
Then we had Bounce, and the negative feedback of that performance in the US. So they went back to the drawing board and attempted to relaunch the album with Boys, bringing in new producers and new writers (her only single she hasn't written) - even though it was a viral hit, it didn't do any better than After The Afterparty on the charts. And then a draft of the whole album leaked - meaning she could drop it there and then and flop or go back to square one.
 
All in all, I think Charli's ever evolving sound and vision may have been the problem, her label just didn't know what to do with her. They tried the emo-alt pop aesthetic, then she went punk pop and then dabbled and stayed in PC music for a while. They're isn't much consistency in terms of appealing to a larger audience, not necessarily a bad thing, just makes her music difficult to market.
 
With artists like Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Zara Larsson etc. You kind of know what you're getting, with Charli it could be anything judging by her discography. 
 
I know we all complain but I think the best thing has happened with her delaying the album and dropping the mixtapes and singles instead. She was able to explore sounds and collaborate with artists; experimenting much more than she would've been able to on an album - also her fanbase has grown massively since Sucker, and she finally has a sound that's unique to her.
 
Off the back of 1999 and it's success, it's obvious that her label now want to try and launch an album - I'm not expecting huge success but it's a step further.

it's correct, but if she were actually to release a single her target would be the gp, which hasn't heard the song yet
like, she doesn't give a fuck if we've already heard a song (whose leak we helped) bc she knows we're gonna stream her anyway
theres no point in centering us in the discussion bc to have a hit she needs to get a much bigger reach than just her fans since shes not lady gaga or britney

Sucker (song) is kinda top three on Sucker .... clown

remember when this was supposed to be a #1 smash for 32 weeks
