Brat summer touched down in the Balearic Islands earlier this month when Charli XCX brought her Partygirl party night to Ibiza’s legendary club Amnesia for a very packed and very buzzy Boiler Room set on July 13.

The artist of the summer launched the set with Brat‘s “365,” then blazed through the album — with tracks like “Guess,” “Club classics” and more — while the crowd writhed behind her. Wearing a chic cream colored top and occasionally clutching a glass of champagne, the artist also welcomed guests including The Dare, Zoe Glitter, Alex Chapman and George Daniel, who altogether incorporated songs including Rico Nasty and Boys Noize’s “Arintintin,” Troye Sivan’s “Rush,” Da Hool’s “Meet Her at the Loveparade” and an edit of Robert Miles’ 1995 club classic “Children.”

The night’s lineup also featured Shygirl, Romy and Ladies of Leisure, the latter of whom delivered us very FOMO-inducing footage directly from the event. Watch the complete 95 minute performance below.

“The reason I love electronic music and clubs and DJs so much is that everything is endless,” XCX said in her recent Billboard cover story. “Everything can be repurposed, reimagined. As a pop writer, I find that exciting. It was cool to use Boiler Room as a space to demonstrate that artists often make five different versions of a song and the song that is put out is not the only one.”

Two Brat tracks are currently on the Hot 100, with “360” at No. 55 and “Apple” at No. 81. The album is also dominating Hot Dance/Electronic Songs with 16 tracks on the chart, the highest of which, “Apple,” is at No. 4. Brat currently sits at No. 14 on the Billboard 200.

Doja Cat Appears Not to Have Any Idea Who Ella Langley Is: ‘I Don’t Know’

The country star's "Choosin' Texas" has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 weeks.

Doja Cat isn’t choosin’ Texas these days. Doja joined Caleb Pressley’s Sundae Conversation on Sunday (Aug. 23), and she appeared to not have any clue about who Ella Langley is, while the country singer has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 non-consecutive weeks with her “Choosin’ Texas” smash.

The Grammy-winning artist fell for a Darth Vader versus elevator joke, which Pressley’s followed up by changing the subject to Langley. “Did you think I was talkin about Ella Langley?” he asked. “Are you an Ella’s Fella?”
