\n\tIt\u2019s been two years since Charli xcx<\/a>\u2018s Brat album became a phenomenon, mixing into the larger worlds of entertainment, culture and even politics, and bringing her to a level of celebrity she\u2019d only glanced at in her career before. Now, after a remix (sequel?) album, a successful tour, a few movie appearances and an additional full soundtrack album, she returns with a brand new LP that officially moves her out of Brat summer and into her next era, with the 10-track, 30-minute, (arguably) rock-pivoting Music, Fashion, Film.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith this\u00a0Rollout Report Card<\/a>\u00a0episode of the\u00a0Greatest Pop Stars<\/a>\u00a0podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by\u00a0Billboard\u00a0staffers Eric Renner Brown and Christine Werthman as we look at everything surrounding\u00a0Music, Fashion, Film and the months that have led up to it. We attempt to grade all aspects of the rollout, from the mini-movie accompanying the album to the film legends collected for the LP cover to the numerous podcast interviews done in advance of the set \u2014\u00a0and of course, the songs on the album itself. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnd of course, along the way we answer all the most pressing questions about\u00a0Music, Fashion, Film: Did \u201cRock Music\u201d appropriately set the tone for the album era \u2014\u00a0and how much does it actually have to do with rock music? Could we maybe have used a non-old-white-guy icon on that album cover? Does the accompanying movie add much to our understanding of the album? Is the song to her primary artistic partner a better love song than the song to her literal husband? Does David Cronenberg make sense as the last voice you hear on the album? What\u2019s Charli\u2019s favorite Led Zeppelin album? And perhaps most importantly: Is this just the album Charli xcx is using to take a step back from Brat, or is it a classic in its own right? <\/p>\n

\n\tCheck it out above \u2014 along with a YouTube playlist of some of the most important moments from the album campaign, all of which are discussed in the podcast \u2014 and subscribe to the\u00a0Greatest Pop Stars podcast<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Apple Music<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Spotify<\/a>\u00a0(or wherever you get your\u00a0podcasts<\/a>) for weekly discussions every Thursday about all things related to pop stardom!<\/p>\n
