Album of the Week - Offical Music Videos

Album of the year for 2024 & the winner is.....

This year, has really only been about one particular album, Brat.

This is actually Charli XCX's sixth studio album. Landing in June, the album had it's own season. Brat Summer, was a thing! Brat features production by Charli XCX, her longtime executive producer A. G. Cook, Finn Keane, Cirkut, her partner George Daniel, and others. The album is Charli's follow up to the brilliant, 2022 album, Crash.

Commercially, Brat peaked at number one in the UK, Australia, and Ireland, and reached the top ten in 12 other countries, including the United States, where it marked Charli XCX's highest debut on the Billboard 200 (number 3). 

A week later a deluxe edition, Brat and It's the Same but There's Three More Songs So It's Not, with three additional tracks. Including the OG Guess track!

Mark three was a full remix album, titled Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat, featuring 20 guest artists, this landed in October.

The album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize for 2024 Album of the Year.

The cover art and aesthetic became a popular Internet trend, and was adopted by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential campaign after Charli XCX tweeted about the candidate.

Brat was nominated for seven Grammy Awards at the 67th annual ceremony, including Album of the Year.

To support the album, Charli XCX embarked on the Sweat tour in 2024 with collaborator Troye Sivan with an additional Brat arena solo tour coming in late 2024 and early 2025. She will also make her way to Laneway in 2025! Basically Laneway 2025 is all about Charli XCX!

Speaking of the Sweat tour, who won last year's Album of the Year 2023? Well it was also the ARIA album of the year! Yes tour partner Troye Sivan has also had, a fairly HUGE 2024!

So if you guessed, this year's Album of the Year was brat, you were right! With tunes like Guess, Apple, the remixes, the guests! This album was FIRE! Well done Charli XCX! See you at Laneway in 2025!
