Super Brat Charlie XCX

Charlie XCX

Contemp glam pop selling the illusion of attainable wealth and fame to the underclass dreaming to be special. Charlie XCX sings the songs for the forgotten masses wanting a message of we are us. Her hook in YOU'RE ONLY ONE is YOU"RE ONLY ONE and she sings this lyric seventy-three times.

In 3:24.

HEY JUDE was less, but according to answers.com in the original release of "Hey Jude", the words "Hey Jude" are mentioned once in each verse, once in the first Middle 8 and twice in the second Middle 8 (7 times). During the lengthy outro and fade out, the words "Hey Jude" are sung 18 times, plus sung, yelled and screamed indistinctly by Paul McCartney numerous other times. Paul McCartney features "Hey Jude" in his live performances and the song is seriously ad-libbed during the outro. I am not a fan of the Beatles, although seeing the movie YESTERDAY altered my antipathy.

THe same goes for Charlie XCX

I can see why she is a star.

If she can be a star, what's 'bout me?

Not a chance.
