Charli XCX has spoken out about wanting to "fuck up the music industry", rather than making it a prettier place. 

The singer, who recently topped the US charts with her Iggy Azalea collaboration 'Fancy', has two solo albums under her belt, but is hoping to make more of an impact with her third album.

Speaking to The Daily Star, she said: "I just want to be written about in 50 years' time as someone who helped make pop cooler than it is now. I want to fuck up the music industry, not make it a prettier place."

The singer also discussed her love of pop music: "I'm a fan of Britney Spears and The Spice Girls, so my heart lies in pop, but I want to do it my way."

'Boom Clap', Charli XCX's contribution to the soundtrack for The Fault In Our Stars, recently went to No.6 in the UK singles chart.
