- #Popheads Top Ten Pop Ten!
- The *Top Ten* segment is hosted almost weekly in r/indieheads and r/hiphopheads, and now, here in Popheads! Last week we submitted Miley Cyrus songs! The results can be found here.

- If you want to get a feel for these, you can find all of them [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/wiki/index/top-ten-pop-ten).
- Cool! We’re acclimated now. Let’s move onto the actual post!
- This week’s artist whose discography we’ll be ranking is the…
- ##Charli XCX!
- Oh hell yessssss. Popheads' pride and joy, the centerpiece of our happiness, our everything. Writing and making music since she was 14 with the aptly titled *14*, Charli XCX has proven to be a gem of the music industry for some time. Quickly finding success with the mega-hit collaboration "[I Love It](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxxajLWwzqY)" by Icona Pop, the legend truly came onto the scene with *True Romance* in 2013 and gained all of our love with her relatable and pleading lyrics, including fan favorites "[You (Ha Ha Ha)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtrHH1BDlzk)" and "[Grins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSIofshQ-HE)". Without producing any hits itself, Charli managed to gain a cult following, leading up to 2014's *Sucker* saw more of this talent. *Sucker*, however, included worldwide hit "[Boom Clap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOPMlIIg_38)", which was also featured in the incredibly successful film, *The Fault in Our Stars*. 2014 also produced the multi-platinum collaboration, "[Fancy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-zpOMYRi0w)", with Iggy Azealea, which went #1 in the US. Amongst all of her success, Charli was also penning tracks for many artists, including the top 5 hit, "[Same Old Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h30Bx4Klxg)", by Selena Gomez. *[Vroom Vroom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfAqtFuGjWM)*, an EP released in 2016, saw a complete change in style: while she used to make radio-friendly synth-pop, working with PC Music prize-piece Sophie allowed the EP to step into an avant-pop, left field lane. Her next mixtape, *Number 1 Angel*, found a beautiful crossover between the two styles, particularly seen in tracks such as "[3 AM (Pull Up)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI1GcWaZELQ)", "[Babygirl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBHL2eW0yJU)", and "[ILY2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7TSDVLRM1E)". Her latest release, *Pop 2*, did the same while leaning slightly more towards what was seen on *Vroom Vroom*. Supported by singles "[Out of My Head](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZWmwHjFRPI)" and "[I Got It](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ2aS91VIPM)", the mixtape garnered critical acclaim, for its boundary-pushing style, features, and lyricism.

- ###example of the **VERY IMPORTANT LIST FORMAT:**
- 1. enter song here
- 2. enter second song
- 3. enter third song
- and so on and so forth. Also, **please try to spell the song titles correctly!** If you are unsure, please look it up! **You must put ten songs and cannot put the same song twice**. **PLEASE make sure you comment with numbers, periods, and separating them by line! The system will not recognize dashes, parentheses, or anything like that.** Thanks! All of those are to ensure there are no mistakes <3
- Feel free to AMA, as well as suggest artists for us to rank next by PMing me or commenting on this post. **Submissions will close on January 27th, the Saturday (one day) before the next Top Ten Pop Ten will be posted. You MUST put a song for ALL TEN places and cannot put the same song twice!**
- Every week I reveal next weeks artist and give a hint to the artist after that. Next week we will be rating the music of Sia, and the week after that will someone *everyone* has been begging me for.
