- Charli XCX released three B-sides to Music, Fashion, Film exclusively on iTunes just three days after dropping the album itself.
- The three B-side tracks — "I Keep on Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night," "Playboy Bunny," and "If You Take Away the Music Then What Has She Got?" — each come with a black-and-white music video matching the album's visual style.
- Charli XCX told fans on private Instagram she'd originally refused to stream the songs because it felt "counter intuitive to the whole ethos," but reversed course after demand grew, writing she "begrudgingly" added them to iTunes.
- Music, Fashion, Film is Charli XCX's second full-length album of 2026, following the Wuthering Heights soundtrack.
- Charli XCX's short arena tour begins next month, with festival stops at Lollapalooza and Outside Lands.
Why it matters: Charli reversed an explicit principled stance — she'd told fans putting the songs on streaming felt counter to their ethos — and folded to demand three days after the album's release, keeping the project in the conversation weeks before her arena tour kicks off next month.
