Meat Loaf (born Marvin Lee Aday September 27, 1947 and sometimes called 'Michael Aday' According to his IMDb entry, he is variously credited as: Marvin Lee Aday / Marvin Aday / Meat Loaf Aday / Meatloaf Aday / Michael Lee Aday / Michael Meat Loaf Aday / Michael Aday / Meatloaf.) is the stage name of an American actor, singer and rock and roll performer particularly noted for his smash hit album Bat out of Hell, several famous songs from movies, and is also the name of the band he fronts as lead singer.
Despite failure at several points, and bankruptcy on more than one occasion, Meat Loaf is notable for the ultimate success of his music career, spawning some of the largest selling albums of all time and breaking several records for chart duration. Bat out of Hell, the controversial debut album which had been 4 years in the making, sold over 34 million copies, becoming more profitable than Michael jackson's blockbuster Thriller. It still sells an estimated 200,000 copies annually, almost 30 years later, and has never left the charts.Source: http://www.jimsteinman.com/00classicr3.htm Each of the 7 tracks on the album eventually also charted as a single hit.
Although he enjoyed success with Bat out of Hell and Back into Hell, he experienced some initial difficulty establishing a steady career within his native United States; however, he has retained iconic status and popularity in Europe, especially the UK, where he has ranked 23rd for a number of weeks overall spent in the charts and is one of only two artists with an album never to have left the music charts. In Germany, he became notably popular following the release of Bat Out of Hell II but has enjoyed most success among pop/rock fans. He ranks at 96th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".
