“NO” has exploded into one of MEGHAN’s biggest anthems yet. In less than a month, it received a
RIAA Gold certification for sales exceeding 500,000 downloads, and it’s swiftly
nearing platinum status. In addition to remaining Top 5 on iTunes Overall Top
Songs Chart since release, “NO”
reached #1 on Billboard’s Digital
Songs Chart and #3 on the Hot 100—marking her fourth top 10 hit on that
particular chart. The video for “NO”
has been viewed over 84 million times and counting: https://youtu.be/cMTAUr3Nm6I.
She also reveals the full tracklisting for Thank You. Co-executive
produced by Ricky Reed [Jason Derulo, Pitbull, Twenty One
Pilots] and Meghan, the album is
available in a 12-track standard edition and 15-track deluxe edition. The
digital pre-order includes instant grat downloads of “NO” and “I Love Me”
with LunchMoneyLewis. See the tracklisting
below.
Right now, you can check out an in-depth story
on Thank
You in the new issue of Seventeen
featuring Meghan on the cover. Next
up, she’s nominated for “Best Female
Artist” at the Radio Disney Music Awards and “Best Song That Makes You Smile” (“Better When I’m Dancing”), airing April 30. Her influence is
expanding across genres too. She recently co-wrote “I Like The Sound of That” with Rascal Flatts, and the song went #1 at Country Radio, making for
her first #1 at the format.
Meghan Trainor continues to break records, make
history, inspire countless fans, and change the landscape of pop music and
culture. She began 2016 by winning “Best
New Artist” at the GRAMMY® Awards
and “Favorite Album” for her
chart-dominating RIAA platinum full-length debut, Title [Epic Records], at the 2016 People’s Choice Awards. Last year, Title not only bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, but it became the “First #1 full-length debut from a female
solo artist in five years.” It
stood out as “One of only seven albums
to sell over a million copies in 2015.”
It also yielded four inescapable multiplatinum Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 smashes—“All
About That Bass” (9x-platinum), “Lips
Are Movin” (4x-platinum), “Dear
Future Husband” (2x-platinum), and “Like
I’m Gonna Lose You” [featuring John
Legend] (2x-platinum). Title was the #5 most streamed album globally in 2015 and currently has over 900 million streams worldwide. Meghan also has over 2 billion video views on
VEVO.
For Meghan
Trainor, it all started with “All About
That Bass.” The song introduced
her to the world, and she became a household name in the process. A bona fide cultural phenomenon “All About That
Bass” spent eight weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot
100, making it the “longest-running Hot 100 #1 by an Epic Records
artist” and “longest-running Hot 100 #1 by a female artist in
2014.” Its influence continued long after its release, scoring “Top
Hot 100 Song” and “Top Digital Song” at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards as
well as the 2015 ASCAP Pop Music Award for “Most Performed Song.” The breakout hit was nominated for “Song Of The Year” and “Record Of The Year” at the 2015 GRAMMY® Awards. She received
three American Music Awards nominations and three Teen Choice Awards
nominations. An explosive performer, her headlining MTrain Tour packed venues
across the U.S. during the summer in 2015.
