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 MORENigeria’s Blaqbonez is rapping to ‘beat his high score’Inside Erika de Casier’s shimmering R&B universeVanmoof8 Dazed Clubbers on the magic and joy of living in Berlin ‘Rap saved my life’: A hazy conversation with MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt7 essential albums by the SoulquariansIs AI really the future of music?The KPop Demon Hunters directors on fan theories and a potential sequelplaybody: The club night bringing connection back to the dancefloorAn interview with IC3PEAK, the band Putin couldn’t silenceFrost Children answer the dA-Zed quizThe 5 best features from PinkPantheress’ new remix albumMoses Ideka is making pagan synth-folk from the heart of south London
