When MTV News’ guest correspondent Liza Koshy caught up with the 21-year-old singer on her That Bass Tour, Meghan gave the Vine star a behind the scenes look at her concert closet — explaining the importance of being “covered and comfy.”

“I told the label, like, day one, ‘I’m not going to go out there in a bathing suit so figure it out,’” Meghan explained. “We had fittings and I told them my comfiest is in skirts, and tops, and looking good. They nailed it.”

Did anyone ever figure out how her song ever picked up momentum? I remember last year her song was released and just rocketed in the top 30 on itunes without anyone ever hearing her name, and then 3 days later its in the top ten. One of the greatest mysteries in pop tbh.

I think the music video is what did it. The music video was top ten on the iTunes music video chart well before the song took off.

A lot of hit songs in recent years have shot up the charts mysteriously out of no where. no buzz no fanbase no media coverage.

it's almost like the industry has decided everything from the get go

I've actually heard a few years back that radio directors decide what sounds they want on the air and which artists they're going to support off the bat that year before the year is even in full swing. If they feel your music isn't going to fit that trend then, you won't get supported as fast or even at all. I can totally see that being the case, look at 45S, LA Love and Gwen's singles.

In Meghan's case, she got an On the Verge deal. Her music video was barely having steam on youtube prior her song stalling in the Top 40 on pop radio then suddenly flying top 10 with unrealistic updates for a new artist. Radio deals run the industry now but I'm glad Meghan runs her own ship with Epic. LA has been known to force a change on to his artists.

This tea that you're spilling! People expect songs to miraculously sell masses with barely any radio support and are so quick to brand it a 'flop' - for established artists I can understand why this may be the case. But for newer artists it's pretty stupid to label them a 'flop' if radio isn't on board with a song. A song could be the greatest track in the ears of many, but without radio support it will go nowhere. Radio directors do run this industry and has the ability to make or a break a new artist trying to make a name for themselves.

I remember that Let Her Go by Passenger was around for quite a while but radio directors had decided to start spinning it more often and it went on to be massive. Natalie Rose is also enjoying iHeartRadio's On The Verge treatment with her song with Jeremih and it's on its way to being a massive hit - surpassing Tinashe's 2 On.

It really is down to radio directors.
