Description
Bat Out of Hell is the 1977 debut album by American rock singer Meat Loaf and composer Jim Steinman. It is one of the best-selling albums of all time.[3] The album was developed from a musical, Neverland, a futuristic rock version of Peter Pan, which Steinman wrote for a workshop in 1974. It was recorded during 1975–1976 at various studios, including Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, New York, produced by Todd Rundgren, and released in October 1977 by Cleveland International/Epic Records.[4] Bat Out of Hell spawned two Meat Loaf sequel albums: Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell (1993) and Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose (2006).
Bat Out of Hell has sold over 43 million copies worldwide.[3] It is certified 14x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[5] It is the best-selling album in Australia.[citation needed] As of June 2019, it has spent 522 weeks in the UK Albums Chart, the second longest chart run by a studio album.[6] Rolling Stone ranked it at number 343 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[7][8]
