How Charli XCX’s sophomore album “Sucker” will perform commercially remains to be seen, but its opening week sales drive will not be hindered by a lack of exposure.
In addition to appearing on the 12/13 edition of “Saturday Night Live” and the 12/17 edition of “The Today Show,” the singer-songwriter will also deliver a release week performance on “Late Show with David Letterman.”
First noted in conjunction with an Urban Outfitters promotion, Charli XCX’s 12/16 “Late Show” performance was confirmed by CBS Monday. Actress Anna Kendrick will also appear on that episode.
Featuring #1 pop radio single “Boom Clap” and top 25 follow-up “Break the Rules,” “Sucker” hits US shelves the week of December 15.
