I instantly wanted to hear more, but unfortunately all she had on her YouTube was her debut track. <a href="http://www.meghan-trainor.com" target="_blank"><strong>Meghan Trainor</strong></a> is a signer-songwriter from Massachusetts signed to Epic Records. The track has soared 20 spots into the top 10 of the Hot 100, from 28-8, which is pretty decent considering in just five weeks its sold over 350,000 copies.</p>
<p>Check out her colorful, size doesn&#8217;t matter video below (directed by Fatima Robinson):</p>

<p>As for who else is on the <a href="http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100" target="_blank"><strong>Hot 100</strong></a>, Magic! still holds tight for the 4th week with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KILDVEI/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00KILDVEI&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=musicm042-20" target="_blank"><strong>&#8216;Rude&#8217;</strong></a>.

Nico and Vinz hold tight at #4 with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00II5VHBU/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00II5VHBU&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=musicm042-20" target="_blank"><strong>&#8216;Am I Wrong&#8217;</strong></a> and in at #5 is Ariana Grande&#8217;s, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JRBLSR2/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00JRBLSR2&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=musicm042-20" target="_blank"><strong>&#8216;Problem&#8217;</strong></a>.</p>
