Sidetracked with Charli XCX

Charli XCX joins Annie and Nick to break down what Brat really means. They discuss the importance of artist authenticity as Raye breaks the pop mould once again with a 7-minute song. Elsewhere, Taylor Momsen’s been bitten by a bat, Charli’s been singing S Club 7 on a Chinese talent show and Pitbull’s been soundtracking sex scenes on Bridgerton. Plus, DJ'ing with your partner – what could go wrong?

Sidetracked is all about taking a look at the things Annie Macmanus and Nick Grimshaw have loved (and perhaps more importantly not loved) from the world of music. A week in music, a week in Annie and Nick’s lives, this is the destination for music and pop culture lovers looking for an authentic and light-hearted take on the week’s most compelling stories… getting seriously sidetracked along the way.
