Charli XCX gave the Brit Awards one Abrupt Makeover Saturday night (Mar 1) by scooping the biggest prizes at night, including the coveted album of this year’s award.

When she spoke when she collected the award of the year, Charli said: “I used to tell myself things like this was not important and it was easy for me to do, because until last year I was not nominated for anything. I always felt like an outsider in the British music industry, so it feels nice to be recognized on this album when I haven’t actually sacrificed anyone. ”
Abrupt was one of 2024’s defining items that landed on No. 1 on Britain’s official album diagrams and on No. 3 on Billboard 200. It was named Billboard The staff’s album of the year.
