Taylor Swift '1989' News: Meghan Trainor Album 'Title' Ousts 'Blank Space' Singer From No.1 Spot on the Charts
Pop singer Meghan Trainor topped the Billboard charts at No. 1 with her first full-length album "Title," topping Taylor Swift's album.
The album released on Jan. 13 with Epic records and arrived at over 200,000 equivalent units earned in the week ending Jan. 18, according to Billboard.
Trainor's hit song "All about That Bass" hit Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart for eight consecutive weeks in 2014. Meghan made the biggest debut for a female pop star's first full-length album in five years. The last person to do so was Susan Boyle.
The singer had over 370,000 song downloads and nearly 8 million listens via streaming, Reuters reported according to Nielsen SoudScan.
"Title" comes just three weeks before the 2015 Grammy Awards, where Trainor is nominated for song and record of the year for her number one hit song "All About That Bass."
"My influences and I hope they relate to the concepts that I talk about," Meghan recently told MTV News about what she hopes fans learn about her on this album. "Cause they are very real and very personal."
Trainor made her break through with a 1960s based pop song about female body types. "All About that Bass" lyrics says to girls, "I know you think you're fat, but I'm here to tell you that every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top." Her song made number one on the charts while making girls who are not a size two feel beautiful.
Since her debut, Swift's "1989" dropped to No. 2 on Billboard. Swift made top selling album last year, beating "Frozen" at the very end of the counting period. She has been knocked down to No. 2 only three times since her album release, eported.
Other new releases in the top 10 include "Kidz Bop 27," making it to No. 3, and Mark Ranson's "Uptown Special" at No. 5.
