" All About That Bass " was released as the album 's lead single on June 30 , 2014 . NBC 's '' Today '' show named the " Song of the Summer " and played into what '' Vogue '' called " The Era of the Big Booty " . The song earned two nominations at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year , which was awarded to Sam Smith 's song " Stay with Me " . " All About That Bass " accompanying music video became a viral hit and was Vevo 's second-most streamed music video of 2014 . The song , however , became a subject of controversy with some critics , who dismissed it for anti-feminism and cultural appropriation . " All About That Bass " topped the '' Billboard '' Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks , exceeding Michael Jackson 's seven-week record with " Billie Jean " ( 1983 ) and " Black or White " ( 1991 ) to become the longest-running number one by an Epic Records artist . It peaked atop the UK Singles Chart , where it stayed for four consecutive weeks and made British chart history by becoming the first single to enter the top 40 without any contributing physical or digital sales . " All About That Bass " topped the national charts of 58 countries , and went on to sell 11 million units worldwide , becoming one of the best-selling singles . In January 2018 , the song was certified diamond in the United States for sales of over 10,000,000 units
