Charli XCX will release her second major label album later this year.

The Brit has confirmed that she will unleash her sophomore effort 'Sucker' in the UK on October 20.

The album was made available to pre-order from iTunes today (August 19) and it will feature tracks like singles 'Boom Clap' and 'Break The Rules'.

The record will be preceded by the latter single on October 5 and Charli XCX commented on the track:

"The song is inspired by a lot of the things I was listening to whilst in Sweden at the end of last year. I spent about a month making a punk record and covering songs by Swedish punk bands like Snuffed By The Yakuza. This song was written when I came out of the other side of that punk phase and translated it into something more pop."

Charli XCX meanwhile is due to perform her song 'Boom Clap' at the MTV VMAs on Sunday (August 24).
