NEW YORK, March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Just as her
critically acclaimed, sold out THAT BASS TOUR comes
to a close this week, GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum
international superstar Meghan
Trainor reveals dates for her headline summer jaunt —
THE MTRAIN TOUR — supporting her #1 debut album
TITLE [Epic Records].
Promoted exclusively by Live
Nation, THE MTRAIN TOUR kicks
off Friday July 3 at Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey and will make stops
in nearly 30 major markets across the country this summer. Tickets
go on-sale beginning at 10:00 a.m. local time on
Friday, March 20 at
www.livenation.com. English trio Life of Dillon who are currently
riding the charts with their debut single "Overload" will open
THE MTRAIN TOUR.
Following a string of scorching performances, Trainor's
show promises to be one of the hottest tickets of the summer. Don't
miss it! For all the latest updates on THE MTRAIN
TOUR, visit: www.meghan-trainor.com.
In tandem with the tour announcement, she premiered the
undeniable, unique, and unforgettable music video for new single
"Dear Future Husband" on NBC's The TODAY Show and
Cosmopolitan.com this morning. Recently certified Gold by the RIAA,
the track impacts radio today as well.
Fans and tastemakers continue to recognize her as pop culture
trailblazer and dynamic presence. She's nominated for "Favorite
New Artist" and "Song of the Year" for "All About
That Bass" at 2015 Kids' Choice Awards, airing
March 28 on Nickelodeon. The next day
Sunday, March 29, she will perform at
the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los
Angeles, broadcast live on NBC from The Shrine Auditorium.
At the ceremony, she's also nominated in three top categories
including "Best New Artist," "Renegade," and
"Song of the Year" for "All About That
Bass."
This week, Meghan will appear on The Voice as the
mentor for Blake Shelton's team. She
also graces the cover of the February issue of Seventeen
Magazine.
Continuing this incredible streak of success, "All About That
Bass" now is six-times Platinum and its follow-up "Lips Are
Movin'" went double Platinum, while the THAT BASS
TOUR has been receiving unanimous critical praise. This was
Trainor's very first tour, and each date actually sold out
well in advance, proving her status as a live phenomenon.
About the THAT BASS TOUR, Billboard
claimed, "Trainor stretched her set in ways that felt
authentic," while The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The
lifelong performer took advantage of the venue's intimacy while
also seizing the opportunity to serve a spectacle." The Chicago
Tribune said, "After a year that set the 21-year-old on an
unexpected pop star path, Trainor hit the stage in
Chicago and showed that she had
the verve and talent to justify her rise," The Washington
Post added, "Trainor's voice sparkled almost as much as
the bejeweled mike she poured it into," and The OC Register
claimed, "Her brand of doo-wop and bubble gum pop, infused with
bits of funk and hip-hop, coupled with a sassy attitude and lyrics
about female empowerment, have quickly made her a star."
As soon as TITLE became available, it vaulted to
the top of dozens of charts worldwide. With first-week sales of
237,511 units in total music consumption
(albums/singles/streaming), the album ranks as the
biggest-selling debut for a female artist's first full-length album
in more than five years; and the biggest-selling debut for a solo
artist's first full-length album in more than three
years. TITLE has dominated iTunes Overall
and Pop album charts in the U.S. at #1 since its release on
January 13th, with #1
peaks reported from 67 countries worldwide.
Early critical reaction to TITLE was
unanimously positive, with Rolling Stone magazine
hailing Meghan's "sass and self-empowerment,"
and People proclaiming "she's an It girl with
staying power." The New York
Times profiled Meghan with references to Amy
Winehouse and Adele; while Entertainment Weekly awarded
the TITLE album an A-, declaring "right
now, no pop star is better than this 21-year-old singer,
songwriter, and producer at playing the sassy best friend."
Billboard summed up, "You can't miss this young
artist's skill with melodic and rhythmic hooks…along with her
fluid, flexible voice."
"All About That Bass" is a juggernaut in and of
itself. Meghan's phenomenal two-time Grammy®-nominated debut
single spent eight weeks at #1 on
the Billboard Hot 100, and has been certified
6-times RIAA platinum in the U.S. alone. The song has worked its
way into pop culture with numerous cover versions and homages,
including NBC's Saturday Night
Live and The Tonight Show with
Jimmy Fallon (with collective
YouTube views of more than 40 million).
Globally, "All About That Bass" has hit #1 in
58 countries, generated more than 10 million downloads, over 275
million streams, and nearly 700 million YouTube views to date. The
follow-up single "Lips Are Movin" has been
certified RIAA double platinum, has reached the top five on the
Billboard Hot 100, top five at top 40 radio, and has over 180
million video views.
