Echoing earlier comments, "Body On My Own" is one of the better tracks on Sucker and should've stuck around a little longer.

Part of me would love them to have been bolder with the outro to Body of My Own, stretching it out by another couple of minutes and climaxing (ahem) with the music getting faster and more intense (yes, like the Blond Ambition performance of Like a Virgin). This is way too early an exit for it.

1999 (with Troye Sivan)

Tonight we're losing a single and it's this collaboration with Troye Sivan with some fantastic single artwork! It is a bop and one of Charli's biggest hit chasing anthems, and I like it! It's a cute 7.5 from me. 1999 was released in October 2018 as the lead single from Charli's album Charli, and it is a great pop song - Charli at perhaps her laziest? Maybe so, but she needed to get that album out and this is harmless all in all.

The track peaked at #13 in the UK becoming Charli's 10th top 40 single and Troye's 4th. The video is again great fun, I like Troye a lot but he doesn't really add much here? His delivery is kind of monotone and I feel like Charli could've benefitted with someone adding a bit more oomph, but it did do its job so eh. The track received fab remixes from The Knocks and Michael Calfan to name a couple, both completely bop to be honest!! This is probably a fair place for it to leave though, Miss XCX has been responsible for so much better and it's nice to have some perhaps more overlooked faves to have their moments!







 
Nn knowing how Charli stans are I think this is more a case of people not being discerning about only utilizing the top half of the scoring spectrum.
 
1999 is harmless, but it's one of the few recent eliminations that actually deserved to go this early. There's really nothing that special about it and it outlasted some far better and more interesting tracks. That being said, I hope we don't see the back of 2099 for awhile yet.

Pop 2 loses its first track this evening and Lucky isn't so lucky I guess! It doesn't really go anywhere for me and considering the high standard on Pop 2 itself I don't think many will be surprised that this is the first casualty from it. Lucky appears on Charli's 2017 mixtape Pop 2 as the 3rd song and it is a little on repetitive side. Also it's the only song on the project, other than Track 10, that doesn't have a featured artist!

The track was produced once again by A.G. Cook and also with the mysterious Ö, also known as Nömak or Nicolas Petitfrère, who also worked on a few of the Charli tracks (Gone, Click, Shake It, 2099). The production is very electric and the autotune is wild on this one, but an album as exceptional as Pop 2 is does have to have a weak spot, and this is that. If my deductions are correct, only Number 1 Angel and how I'm feeling now remain unscathed, how long will it be until we see anything from there fall??
