Well, she claimed she would in a moment of excitement and on the internet that sort of a promise isn’t going to go away. The tweet follows the song rising four places, to number 13 in the charts. “UMMM ANGELS WTF?!” she also writes alongside the retweeted chart data, in apparent disbelief. The video for “1999” was released on YouTube on October 11 and has no doubt made a sizeable contribution towards the track’s chart place, having been viewed almost 16.5 million times at the time of writing. Appropriately, it features Charli XCX and Troye Sivan in a series of late 90s vignettes, from imitations of contemporary artists to a recreation of that pose from Titanic. Earlier this week, Charli XCX also performed at a show in LA, as part of an effort to raise money for the cancer treatment of Billy Clayton, a musician from Norwich. UMMM ANGELS WTF?! IF THIS GOES TOP 10 I’LL MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM AND DROP IT NEXT YEAR. https://t.co/f3J7pQaQi6https://t.co/yMMWnco45C— CHARLI XCX (@charli_xcx) December 1, 2018Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREListen to our shadowy Dazed Winter 2025 playlist7 of Chase Infiniti’s favourite K-pop tracks Jean Paul GaultierJean Paul Gaultier’s iconic Le Male is the gift that keeps on givingMeet The Deep, K-pop’s antihero ‘This is our Nirvana!’: Are Geese Gen Z’s first great rock band?10 of Yung Lean’s best collabs‘We’re like brother and sister’: Yung Lean and Charli xcx in conversationIs art finally getting challenging again?The only tracks you need to hear from November 2025Inside the world of Amore, Spain’s latest rising starLella Fadda is blazing a trail in the Egyptian music sceneThe rise of Sweden’s post-pop underground
