I would love to see this get released in the U.S. at some point: Regardless, this girl really does need to be the next It Girl in pop music. I agree! She has all in the makings to be one. I also hope Superlove gets released as well. It's extremely catchy and I think it'd do well. However, I read somewhere that Charli XCX was planning to release an album in the fall so I'm guessing that the lead single will be coming next instead of Superlove or You (Ha Ha Ha). But wasn't Superlove intended as the lead single for the album though? If so, I think they could release it still! It has potential to smash as much as Boom Clap does! Superlove is an excellent song, but the song feels extremely British to me (beyond just the fact that her accent is really noticeable on it). I still think it could do well, especially if the recent success is translating to brand loyalty around Charli XCX, but I don't know that it is either American enough or consistent enough with her big hits here to smash. Boom Clap works because it really does appeal to the same hip-pop sensibility as Fancy.

Superlove > this song. But I love both! Would be awesome if it ended up being a single in the US.

Don't like it. Gwen Stefani did this better ten years ago. "What You Waiting For?" wasn't even out at this time ten years ago.

Her voice definitely gives me Gwen Stefani. A lot of people I've spoken to thought Gwen is featured on "Fancy", but I had to correct them. :)

I don't hear any Gwen similarities in this at all, voice or type of song, lol I think it's a bit much to say there's NO Gwen similarity at all. Charli's style is definitely inspired by Gwen's -- from the vocal tone and range, to the throaty delivery, to the "chant" notes in both this and Fancy. Looking throughout her catalogue, it's irrefutably clear she was influenced heavily by both Gwen Stefani and Madonna. That said, there are also MORE than enough differences for me to not have any problems distinguishing the two. I would never think this was a Gwen Stefani song, and it never once makes me doubt that Charli is an original artist.

I never thought of Gwen Stefani's voice after hearing this. When everybody started mentioning it, I can now see why. While this is being played, Charli's voice does sound like Gwen's a little bit. I can distinguish between the different voices.

Mistyped her name as charli xxx once Considering what the XCX actually sort of stands for, you were far closer than you think.

So happy this is killing it. I've played it every day--usually twice a day--since it came out, and I'm not remotely sick of it.
By the way, does anyone know if there is some beef between Charli XCX (or Atlantic) and Hits Daily Double? This is the second week in a row that Boom Clap was the 2nd-most-added at pop, and the second week in a row she wasn't mentioned at all in the Hits radio recap.
(Note that Clean Bandit's "Rather Be" was also overlooked this week. Very strange, since both that song and Boom Clap were tracking well in all of Mediabase's updates. So even if HDD jumped the gun on its report, as it sometimes does, it still should be talking up those two tunes).

I don't think it's "beef", but it was just forgotten to be noted. Either way, awesome on the adds. This is going to bounce into the Top 15 on Hot 100 hopefully.

Dipped on the Hot 100 this week. Somewhat strange. I'd imagine video streams were down slightly, but radio audience went up and it remained fairly strong on iTunes.
