Title is due in January and will include All about the base and her new single, Lips are moving.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_%...ainor_album%29

Will Meghan be the next new female popstar to take over the charts next year, or is she simply a one hit wonder?

Let's discuss.

Lips Are Moving is a bop! It's basically the exact same song as AATB but it's still a brilliant follow up

Tough call. Carly Rae Jepson was looking a major force a couple of years ago but where is she now? You can stand still because others can rise quickly and fill the celeb space. Look at Iggy Butt and Arianna Grande this year.

It's leaked
Now this album really should give an indication whether she is a fluke or the real thing

I agree! Although its a shame I downloaded a version of the album that has a broken Bang Them Sticks, only 1:36 and Like I'm Gonna Lose You is also abruptly finished.

She's a fluke
An album full of songs which similar to all about the base, which have been altered slightly to sound slowed down or made uptempo. Her lyrical is very samey. Too many songs about being true to yourself and telling yourself your perfect. We have so many songs and artists do this. She adds nothing new to pop music at all.

you dont need to add to pop music, pop music isnt cerebral, its not looking to bring down governments, its purely to make you feel good for 3 minutes.

No different than Lady Gaga copying Madonna for 3 years and trying to pass it off as new.

I think she should go down a different route for her 3rd single and display a bit of versatility if she wants to be seen as a force. "Close Your Eyes" would be a good choice.

I agree, maybe even Love You Like I'm Gonna Lose You would be a good choice, even more so as it is a duet with John Legend. Though, I think Bang Dem Sticks should definitely be the single at some point.

And I agree with everyone who says it is ridiculous saying she doesn't add anything to pop music - so what, there are plenty of artists who don't as well. Then you could say that to every boyband that ever came to be after the original one - pop is enjoyable music, not everything needs to be groundbreaking.

You and the poster above me have completley twisted my comment. But saying she add nothing to pop music, you both have all these created theories for why i think that. None of which I said or hinted at. But thank you to you both.

I can only go off what you say, not what you dont say. Elaborate and maybe that will change my opinion.

If an OTT reaction and even a personal dig at my username is given by members based on an opinion i gave and that they are incapable to disagree with in a polite way, I dred to think what the reaction will be when i elaborate further. So no, i won't be explaining myself.

No problem, my comment stands then. Its pop, she doesnt need to add or take away. Not all music needs to be serious and further pop music down its merry road. some are fillet mignon, some are bubble gum, you get something from both. Meghan Trainor, if she can stick around may go on to be a global superstar with a long and interesting career, who would have thought Katy Perry would become what she has become based on her debut album, but as far as MT goes. I like her album, its catchy pop music.

I've listened to the album and don't think it's anything special at all. Also, I've watched some of her live performances and she's really not that great. Nothing to write home about at all. Very average performer and nothing that makes her stand out.

From buzzjack forums:

Album: Title
#1 Australia
#1 Austria
#1 Czech Republic
#1 Finland
#1 Latvia
#1 New Zealand
#1 Slovakia
#1 Switzerland
#2 Luxembourg
#2 Netherlands
#2 New Zealand
#3 Germany
#3 Sweden
#4 Turkey
#6 Thailand
#8 Belgium
#11 Australia
#15 United States
Not bad.

I also like this line from the New York Times piece on her:

Ms. Trainor insisted. “Everyone asks me, ‘Are you scared to be a one-hit wonder?’ ” she said. “No — I’m a songwriter. That’s not even my best one.”
