Charli XCX relents and puts B-side tracks on iTunes
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Charli XCX has "begrudgingly" uploaded three previously exclusive B-side tracks to iTunes, despite earlier insisting the songs would never appear on digital platforms. The three tracks were added on Sunday 26 July as part of a digital deluxe edition of her latest album, 'Music, Fashion, Film', with the singer telling fans "you can call me a hypocrite, I don't mind" after sustained demand persuaded her to change course, even though she felt it went against the tracks' "ethos".
The songs — 'I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night', 'Playboy Bunny' and 'If You Take the Music Then What Has She Got?' — had previously only been available on limited-edition 7" vinyl singles for 'Rock Music', 'SS26' and 'Camera', a physical box set, and via her Instagram side-account @b.sides. 'Music, Fashion, Film' itself arrived on Friday 24 July alongside an accompanying short film, marking Charli's first conventional studio album since 2024's 'Brat'; she headlines Lollapalooza in Chicago on 31 July, makes her Reading & Leeds headline debut in August, and begins a North American arena tour with Underscores in Philadelphia on 11 September.
