Following his death last Thursday (Jan. 20) at the age of 74, Meat Loaf stages a chart-topping return in the land Down Under, making history in the process.
Meat Loaf’s best-seller Bat Out Of Hell (Sony) hits No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, for its ninth non-consecutive week at the summit.
The classic rock LP initially spent eight weeks in the top spot between June and August 1978, en route to locking-up 25 platinum certifications.
