Taking a Bass Line to the Bank: Meghan Trainor’s ‘Title’ Turns Up the Volume

On January 9, 2015, a pop storm named Meghan Trainor unleashed her debut major-label album, aptly titled *Title*.

Just like her famous hit “All About That Bass,” the album burst into the music scene with exuberance and—let’s be honest—a whole lot of bounce. With contagious melodies, retro vibes, and a dash of sass, Trainor turned heads faster than you can say “body positivity.”

Now, let’s flashback for a second! Before her chart-topping debut, our girl Meghan was grinding it out in the songwriting trenches, penning tracks for other artists and concocting catchy hooks that would make any melody-chasing musician weep with envy. But in 2014, after signing with Epic Records, she decided it was high time to step into the spotlight herself and show the world what she was capable of. No more lurking in the background—she was ready to make waves.

Blending influences from ’50s doo-wop to ’90s R&B, Title was more than just an album; it was a proclamation of independence from the monotony of contemporary radio trends. With her partner-in-crime, songwriter Kevin Kadish, the duo crafted tracks that felt like a fun soiree, inviting everyone to join the dance party and leave their inhibitions at the door.

And join the party we did! “All About That Bass” strummed its way to number one in an impressive 58 countries, proving that everyone just loves a good bass line (and who can blame them?). In a world where the charts seem dominated by fleeting trends, Trainor arrived with an anthem that not only piggybacked on the movement for body acceptance but also had the world bobbing its collective head.

Adding to the album’s joy were two more top-10 singles: “Lips Are Movin” and “Like I’m Gonna Lose You.” Each track wrapped the listener in a cozy blanket of pop goodness, despite a few critics raising their eyebrows over what they perceived as repetitive themes and the longevity of Trainor’s infectious style. Are you kidding me? With that wit and daring attitude, she’s like the pop-savvy cousin everyone wants to hang out with at family gatherings!

Title didn’t just coast on the charts; it skyrocketed to number one in the US, Canada, and the UK, while also claiming the top spot in Australia and New Zealand for good measure. Talk about taking over! By the end of 2015, it earned the title of the ninth-best-selling album worldwide. Who knew that a little bass could lead to such big things?

Her success on the charts was complemented by live performances in her 2015 That Bass Tour and MTrain Tour, where fans danced, sang, and soaked up every ounce of that self-love energy. With Title, Trainor wasn’t just throwing down catchy tunes; she was establishing a movement.

As we revisit January 9 and the impact Meghan Trainor made with Title, it’s clear the album is more than a collection of songs. It’s an anthem of empowerment, a call to embrace individuality, and, of course, a reminder that everyone—regardless of size or shape—can shake it to their own rhythm. So turn the volume up, let the bass drop, and remember: when life gets heavy, just be all about that bass! 🎶
