For the second summer in three years, Charli xcx has dominated the pop discussion with a new release. This year, it’s with Music, Fashion, Film, her much-anticipated official follow-up to 2024’s culturally ubiquitous Brat, and her second full-length release of 2026 following February’s Wuthering Heights soundtrack.

And now, Music, Fashion, Film has also tied the chart peak of Brat with its No. 3 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The set moved 75,000 units in its first frame, making it the highest-bowing new entry on the chart this week (dated Aug. 8) — though it falls behind Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem and Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, in their 63rd and seventh week on the chart, respectively.
How does this debut compare to our expectations for Music, Fashion, Film? And do we think Charli will score a No. 1 album in the future? Billboard staffers discuss these questions and more below.
