Here Are Charli XCX’s Billboard Covers & Photos Over the Past Decade
Charli XCX is Billboard’s latest cover star — but she’s no stranger to gracing our magazine.
The “360” star has been on the cover two other times, in 2014 and 2017. She’s also been part of several photoshoots related to Billboard’s annual Women in Music event. In 2014, she accepted the Hitmaker Award and, in 2023, she took home the Powerhouse Award.
Her most recent cover story comes a little more than a month after the “Von Dutch” singer dropped her critically acclaimed album Brat, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 — her highest peak on the chart to date — as well as inspired a wave of new internet trends.
“I didn’t want any metaphors — like, at all,” Charli tells Billboard of the project. “I wanted this record to feel like I was having a conversation with the listener in a true way. I could say that to you in the back of a cab on the way to a club. Like tonight? I want to dance with A. G.”
She added, “With Brat, it was really interesting to just do things for the fan base and make that feel exclusive — but then once you’re in the club, it’s actually very inclusive. Actually, everyone can join the club. It’s just that everybody joins at slightly different times in slightly different ways — whether that be on my private Instagram posts, or the 400-person Boiler Room, or a random cinema screening of a new music video in L.A., or a text message from me.”
