In the summer of 2014, singer-songwriter Meghan Trainer released, "All About That Bass," and the song was quick to reach #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Soon thereafter, the song also reached the top of the charts in Australia, Canada, Denmark, and New Zealand. An empowering, plus-size anthem with lyrics such as "every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top," the song has placed Trainer in the center of a body-positivity movement that is sweeping over the music industry. Joining Colbie Caillat's makeup-free music video for her song "Try," Trainer's catchy, pop single is a celebration of bodies that come in all shapes and sizes. Currently, more and more songs like Trainer's are gaining popularity on the radio. As a result, women are embracing their sizes, and are pressuring retailers to begin offering plus-size styles if they are not doing so already.
