Charli XCX locks B-sides on iTunes, bypassing streaming platforms

Charli XCX released 'Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition)' exclusively on iTunes on 26 July 2026, three days after the album itself. The three bonus tracks — 'Playboy Bunny,' 'If You Take Away the Music Then What Has She Got?' and 'I Keep on Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night' — are unavailable on Spotify, Apple Music or other streaming services. Charli XCX said on her private Instagram that streaming felt "counterintuitive to the ethos of those songs," but released them on iTunes because fans asked, according to Pitchfork. Each track comes with a black-and-white music video. The release is a deliberate pull away from streaming, which accounts for the dominant share of music consumption in 2026.
