Charli XCX hit a career high – at least up to this point – and proved herself to be both a critical favorite and a hitmaker with Brat. The set inspired countless memes, turning one season into “brat summer,” and finally helped Charli become a Grammy winner as the music industry honored her contributions to dance and electronic music and her individuality with multiple prizes.

Fans waited years for new music from Charli, and 2026 has been packed with releases from the English singer-songwriter. Earlier this year, she delivered the Wuthering Heights soundtrack, which accompanied the film of the same name. More recently, she finally unveiled Music, Fashion, Film, her eighth solo full-length. This week, that project debuts inside the top 10 on nearly every Billboard ranking where it lands, and it helps the superstar climb to never-before-seen highs on multiple lists in the United States.

Charli XCX Scores Her First Sales No. 1

Charli conquers the Top Album Sales chart for the first time in her career, earning the bestselling release in America. According to data shared by Luminate, Music, Fashion, Film sold just under 56,600 copies during its first tracking frame. That figure is made up of purchases across formats, including digital downloads, CDs and vinyl.

Charli XCX Finally Conquers the Sales Ranking

Music, Fashion, Film gives Charli her first No. 1 on the Top Album Sales tally after she came very close to ruling in the past. Both Brat and Crash peaked at No. 2.

Charli has now sent 11 releases to the ranking, and six have spent time inside the top 10. That total includes the Wuthering Heights soundtrack, which climbed as high as No. 3 back in late February.

Charli XCX Doubles Her Vinyl Chart No. 1 Total

The pop and dance musician also doubles her total number of leaders on the Vinyl Albums ranking as her highly-anticipated project arrives. Music, Fashion, Film debuts at No. 1, becoming Charli’s second champion on the format-specific list.

The new collection joins Brat, which dominated for three frames beginning in June 2024. Both Crash and the Wuthering Heights soundtrack missed out on running the show by only a single rung, as that pair of studio releases peaked at No. 2.

Charli XCX Nearly Rules Two Charts She’s Never Seen Before

There are two related rosters where Charli nearly reaches No. 1 on her very first visit. Music, Fashion, Film debuts at No. 2 on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts. Typically, Charli’s music is classified by Billboard as either pop or electronic dance. In this case, the more rock-leaning sounds of Music, Fashion, Film bring her to rankings that are usually filled with some of the biggest bands and alternative acts in the country.

Olivia Rodrigo Blocks Charli XCX From the Top Spot

The same title prevents Charli from reaching No. 1 on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums rankings on her inaugural venture. Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love remains steady in first place on both. Rodrigo extends a run at the top that began nearly two months ago.

Charli XCX Ties Her Billboard 200 Peak

Music, Fashion, Film also begins its time inside the top 10 on the most important ranking of the bunch, the Billboard 200. On that rundown, the album debuts at No. 3.

At that starting position, Charli ties her all-time high, which she first reached with Brat only a few summers earlier. Half of the eight Charli collections that have appeared on the Billboard 200 have now found their way into the top 10.

Charli first smashed into that region with Crash, which peaked at No. 7 in April 2022. Only months ago, the Wuthering Heights soundtrack opened at No. 8, making 2026 her first year with multiple new top 10s.

Charli XCX Debuts on the Streaming Ranking

Music, Fashion, Film also debuts on the Top Streaming Albums tally, where it launches at No. 23. The new release becomes Charli’s third career appearance on the roster, and somewhat surprisingly, it is her lowest-peaking so far. Brat performed best, reaching No. 3, while the Wuthering Heights soundtrack climbed to No. 19.

Charli XCX Sends Brat Back Into the Top Five

Brat only appears on one Billboard ranking this week, and it’s still a top performer. The former No. 1 rises five spaces from No. 10 to No. 5 on the Top Dance Albums roster.
