Charli XCX nominated for World Soundtrack Award

Charli XCX has been nominated for a prize at the 2026 World Soundtrack Awards.

The 365 hitmaker has been nominated for Best Original Song for House, taken from Emerald Fennell's film Wuthering Heights.

Charli, who created an entire Wuthering Heights soundtrack album, co-wrote House with John Cale, Nathan Klein and Finn Keane, and sang on the track with the Velvet Underground musician.

The British singer released the soundtrack album in February and swiftly followed with her latest album, Music, Fashion, Film, on Friday.

House was nominated alongside four songs from 2025 films, including Golden from KPop Demon Hunters, No Place Like Home from Wicked: For Good, Stolen Tale from Hedda and Train Dreams from the film of the same name. Golden and Train Dreams were nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar earlier this year and Golden took home the award.

Elsewhere in the nominations, Hildur Guðnadóttir was shortlisted for Film Composer of the Year for her work on The Bride!, Hedda and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple alongside Hamnet's Max Richter, One Battle After Another's Jonny Greenwood, Daniel Pemberton for Project Hail Mary, Masters of the Universe and The Drama, and Alexandre Desplat for Frankenstein and Jurassic World Rebirth.

Another notable nominee was Finneas O'Connell in the Television Composer of the Year category for his work on season two of Beef.

The first wave of nominations was unveiled on Wednesday, and the second wave will be announced on 3 September.

The World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert will take place in Ghent, Belgium on 10 October.
