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].
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.
Fans 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.“
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.
“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.
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.
