adminCharli XCX has officially secured her first Grammy, winning Best Dance/Electronic Album for Brat at the 2025 Grammy Awards. This victory cements her influence in the electronic music landscape, a space she has long flirted with but never fully occupied until now. Brat, released in June 2024, was a high-energy, rave-fueled opus that saw Charli embrace the underground club sounds that have always been woven into her DNA. With pounding beats, distorted synths, and a rebellious attitude, the album paid homage to the raw, euphoric spirit of UK club culture while pushing the boundaries of mainstream pop. Standout tracks like ‘Von Dutch’ and ‘B2b’ became anthems, while collaborating with artists like A.G. Cook and Gesaffelstein cemented her status as a true boundary-pusher.
This Grammy win represents more than just industry validation, it marks a shift in how dance and electronic music are recognised at the highest levels. Historically, the category has been dominated by established electronic producers, but Charli’s victory signals a growing appreciation for pop-adjacent artists who bring innovation to the scene. The album’s impact extends beyond its critical acclaim, sparking conversations about the intersection of hyperpop, techno, and traditional electronic music. Charli XCX has never played by rules, and with Brat’s success, she’s proving that the future of dance music is as much about attitude and experimentation as it is about BPMs and bass drops.
