Charli xcx's new album Music, Fashion, Film has debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, matching the chart peak achieved by her 2024 album Brat. The result matters because it confirms Charli xcx's continued commercial strength following Brat's cultural dominance, even as her latest record marks a deliberate shift towards an experimental rock sound and followed a much quieter promotional campaign than its predecessor.

The album shifted 75,000 units in its first week, making it the highest-charting new entry this week, though it still trails Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem and Olivia Rodrigo's You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which are in their 63rd and seventh weeks on the chart respectively. It is Charli xcx's second full-length release of 2026, following the Wuthering Heights soundtrack in February. Billboard writers offered differing views on the numbers: some felt they were roughly in line with expectations given the album's genre change and minimal breakout single, while others had anticipated a bigger post-Brat surge, though they noted the achievement is more impressive given the stripped-back rollout.
