Prepare for a MAJOR sugar rush!

We were so psyched when Marina and the Diamonds announced that she'd be touring the US with Charli XCX, especially since the latter is JUST as lyrically and musically talented as the former, if not a little bit more dance-heavy…

But not only are these two dynamic pop acts combining forces on the road, they have also collaborated on a sweet new track appropriately titled Just Desserts!

Take a big, sugary LICK (above)!

YUM YUM YUMMERs! What a delectable mixture of emotion, BUMPIN' beats, and a hypnotic rhythm, all dusted with a slight sprinkling of sadness.

We'll be munching on this treat till our teeth fall out!

We often find ourselves getting SO drunk off of Charli XCX's heavy pop-electro musical concoctions…

Which is why we were ridiculously happy and honored to have the English singer/songwriter perform at our incredible, talent-stuffed One Night In… Austin party!!

Prepare to get SLAMMED into your seat by our EXCLUSIVE video of Charli XCX's delightfully naughty live version of You (Ha Ha Ha) (above)!

Still reeling from this whirlwind event! We've been dizzy for days!

For the sixth straight year, we took our talented friends to Austin and blew everyone's minds with SXSW's most ass-kicking event!

Words haven't been invented to accurately describe the awesomeness of Sunday's One Night In… Austin partAAy, but we will try and paint a picture of the gloriousness anyway!!

There was fabulous music and delicious drinks! Our favorite celebz mingled with our perezilicous fans!

Fall Out Boy surprised the crap out of everyone by playing a fabulous set!

And, best of all, we raised over $53,000 for two of our fantastic charities!!!

It's true!!

In addition to showcasing the most anticipated performances at SXSW, our event successfully raised $53,000 for VH1 Save The Music Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education in America's public schools and GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring safe schools for all and creating a world in which every child learns to respect and accept all people, regardless of sexual orientation!

We're proud to have collected so much cash for such great causes, but we certainly couldn't have done it alone!

We couldn't have thrown such an amazing party and raised so much money without

We told you our big SXSW party on March 16th at Austin Music Hall was going to be very Brit heavy! They just breed QUALITY musicians in the UK by the truckloads!!!

We are ridiculously excited to reveal that Charli XCX is going to be gracing our stage with her presence! We lurve her!! And you will too! Check her out above, if you don't already know her greatness, which we've talked about many times!

Charli will be joining fellow Brits Paloma Faith and Stooshe, who will also be performing at our 6th annual One Night In Austin extravaganza!!!

The only way to get GUARANTEED entry into our party is to buy tickets! And, even cooler, 100% of ticket sales will be split directly between the two non-profits we work the most closely with, Vh1's Save The Music Foundation and GLSEN, the Gay & Lesbian Straight Education Network. Both cater specifically to helping young people!

Oh Breaker of Hearts & Wrecker of Homes!

Marina and the Diamonds has granted all our musical wishes by adding TONS more dates to her North American tour…

With one of our latest obsessions Charli XCX opening!!

We are SO souped that these two dynamic, TALENTED pop acts are joining forces on tour because we recently called Charli XCX a dancier version of Marina, and now audiences will get to see BOTH amazing artists side by side!

Wunderbar!

Ch-ch-check out Marina and the Diamonds' FULL updated North American tour schedule …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

We are sooooo feeling Charli XCX these days!

She is just doing her own thing!!!!!

It's kinda hard to compare her to others, but she's like a quirkier Icona Pop or a dancier Marina & The Diamonds!

We so dig her! And we so dig her new song You (Ha Ha Ha)! Check it out above!

Then CLICK HERE to listen to more music from Charli XCX!

This is so dope! Dopeness! Awesomescause and amazeballs!

Take some vintage Soul II Soul add in some Marina & The Diamonds, a touch of Bat For Lashes and a sprinkle of Azealia Banks and you have Charli XCX.

Her new song Cloud Aura sounds unlike anything else out there right now, which makes it even that much more awesome!
