The 'In For The Kill' singer admitted that she does not listen to the singles countdown because there is nothing on it that she would want to hear.
"I must be honest, I'm not overly positive about it," she told NME.
"To me, pop music has always had two sides. It's always had the Backstreet Boys side, music for kids, the novelty tracks and one-hit-wonder side. And the other side is the classier side such as David Bowie, The Beatles, Prince and Michael Jackson.
"I just feel like this side is missing too much and [there's] a lot of this boy/girl band, novelty song, one-hit-wonder going on.
"And I'm not gonna lie, I am not a massive fan of R&B as you can hear by my music, and there is a lot of that in the charts at the moment, so I don't listen to the charts that much."
Fellow electropop newcomer Frankmusik recently admitted that he found the singer "rude" after she claimed to be more talented than the other acts in the BBC Sound Of 2009 poll.
