Meat Loaf (born Marvin Lee Aday) is a hard rock icon from Dallas, Texas, US. He is widely acknowledged as the king of the power ballad.

His spirit-surging hit, “I’d Do Anything for Love” defining the genre and getting him the Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance. The tune, which works the refrain title into, “I would do anything for love/ I’d run right into hell and back/ I would do anything for love/ I’d never lie to you and that’s a fact…But I won’t do that”, could be the most ambiguous in modern music.

There’s endless conjecture about what “that” could be, from the earnest to the whimsical to the downright disgustingly demoralising. “I’d Do Anything for Love” and other classic Loaf hit, “Bat Out of Hell”, earned their place in the heavy rock canon of 80s hits and are now mandatory mainstays in any public house video duke box, over-30’s birthday party, reception, or office karaoke night.

His famed Bat Out of Hell album trilogy, which comprises “Bat Out of Hell” (1977), “Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell” (1993), Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose” (2006) has sustained a long, successful career.

He shot to fame with the release of “Bat Out of Hell”, which was five years in the making with friend and songwriter, Jim Steinman. It followed on from a period of moderate success of the debut album, “Stoney & Meatloaf” (1971), which he had recorded with Sean ‘Stoney’ Murphy on Motown records.

His early career was marked with acting appearances in Broadway productions, Hair and More Than You Deserve, and as Eddie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show and supporting slots for the likes of The Who, The Stooges, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper and Richie Havens.

Bat Out of Hell has sold more than 43 million copies globally. Even 35 years after its release it sells an estimated 200,000 copies every year, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.

He’s been known lately for his eccentric public appearances, as erratic therapy patient Robert “Bob” Paulsen in David Fincher’s “Fight Club”, and unctuously serenading Mitt Romney in Ohio on his 2012 presidential campaign.

He’s set to work with Jim Steinman once again on an album scheduled for release in 2015 to be called “Braver Than We Are”.

Live reviews

Expecting measured and restrained behaviour from a man who’s referred to himself as ‘Meat Loaf’ in a professional context for over forty years now is probably a tad optimistic, but the sheer drama of his departure from an arena show in Newcastle back in 2007 remains amusing. After abruptly announcing that the performance would be his final ever, he thought about continuing, before simply telling the crowd “goodbye forever” and walking off stage. He was having a bad night, presumably, because he’s continued to hit the road since, and not without good reason. He’s probably not quite as fit as he was back in his heyday, but Meat Loaf’s formidable vocal cords are holding up pretty well - and besides, if you’ve got the means to play arena shows, then why not afford yourself all the typical trappings to fall back on? Meat Loaf does precisely that, with a full live band that are by no means shy of a solo or two, and an elaborate stage show that plays up to the keen sense of theatricality in his songs. Musically speaking, expect to hear all the classics - ‘Bat Out of Hell’, ‘I Would Do Anything for Love’ - alongside a slew of fan favourites; with a cult fanbase continuing to pack the biggest rooms in the land, don’t expect him to go anywhere just yet.

American artist Meatloaf has achieved iconic status in the UK, with his famous ‘Bat Out of Hell’ trilogy. The king of the power ballad, Meatloaf was a delight to watch on stage and had many of the audience members in awe when the chords were struck for his hit ballad ‘I’d Do Anything For Love’, which was met with rapturous cheers and allowed the entire arena to belt along to the lyrics, their eyes shut in content and their fists raised to the sky. ‘Bat out of Hell’ was also met with a great crowd reaction, setting the arena alight. The stage lit up when Meatloaf performed his greatest hits and the light show was phenomenal, really adding to the show. The atmosphere all night was fantastic, with a whole range of ages turned up to witness the legend in action. After all these years Meatloaf still has it, with his raw and powerful, distinctly unique voice. There was a sense of theatricality to the show that was just awe inspiring to watch.

I was super excited to see Meatloaf last night.I had grown up listening to his music due to my older sister introducing me to it.He was as powerful as his lyrics.He performed just as expected and really put on a great show by giving it his all and really taking his audience back through his hits.Watching him was incredible because he seemed to really enjoy to be there and was pleasantly pleased as the audience sang his lyrics with him or to him.His concert was special to me because my sister had passed away years ago,but his deliverance of his songs with his heart and dedication made me feel like she was there with me,bringing me back to the days we jammed and sang together.He took me to an awesome place of great memories and I am grateful for that. So,"you took the words right out of my mouth",as Meatloaf ROCKED it out!!!

Saw Meatloaf in Toms River NJ at the Intermediate Complex around 2004? It was Fantastc! Lightening, Thunder, Pouring Down Rain! Nothing stopped Meatloaf! It was outside, they tried to get us to take cover, no one wanted to go, Meatloaf said the show must go on! He was unbelievable!

Absolutely magical. And the way they played with Paradise by the Dashboard Light was epic. "Honey, I'm 68 years old, my days of going all night are loooooong over."

My mind was blown over, and over and over. He's lost none of his voice, and puts on an awesome show.

OMG! Meatloaf! He still sings straight from his heart straight to yours! Dream come true! Best time ever! Primo Seats!

Security on the other hand was ridiculous!

A men and women's line to go through security??? Really???? No caps on the water bottles??? Really??

Cal State Northridge supporting Renaissance, Taj Mahal & Janis Joplin. The band then underwent several changes of lead guitar, changing the name of the band each time. The new names included Popcorn Blizzard and Floating Circus.

Then Meat Loaf joined the Los Angeles production of Hair.

Stoney & Meatloaf To support their album, Meat Loaf and Stoney toured with Jake Wade and the Soul Searchers, opening up for Richie Havens, the Who, the Stooges, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper and Rare Earth.

After the tour, Meat Loaf rejoined the cast of Hair, this time on Broadway.

After he hired an agent, he auditioned for the Public Theater's production of More Than You Deserve. During the audition Meat Loaf met his future collaborator Jim Steinman. He sang a former Stoney and Meatloaf favorite of his, "(I'd Love to Be) As Heavy as Jesus", and subsequently got the part of Rabbit, a maniac that blows up his fellow soldiers so they can "go home." Ron Silver and Fred Gwynne were also in the show. After it closed, he appeared in As You Like It with Raúl Juliá and Mary Beth Hurt.

During the winter of 1973, after returning from a short production of Rainbow in New York in Washington, D.C., Meat Loaf was cast in The Rocky Horror Show, playing the parts of Eddie and Dr. Everett Scott. The success of the musical led to the filming of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in which Meat Loaf played Eddie. Meat Loaf later returned occasionally to perform "Hot Patootie – Bless My Soul" for a special Rocky Horror reunion or convention.

In 1976, Meat Loaf appeared in Gower Champion's rock musical Rockabye Hamlet. It closed two weeks into its initial run.

Meat Loaf and Steinman formed the band The Neverland Express to tour in support of Bat Out of Hell. Their first gig was opening for Cheap Trick in Chicago.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, he began acting in high school productions, and continued while attending college in Denton, Texas. He is reported to have gotten his beefy nick-name when he was in 7th grade and weighed in at 240 pounds (he later weighed in at over 300 lbs). In the late ‘60s, he moved to California, following the death of his mother. Once in Los Angeles, he started a band that changed names as often as personnel (Meat Loaf Soul, Popcorn Blizzard and Floating Circus). Floating Circus had regional success as opening act for a variety of well-known acts including The Who, Van Morrison, Janis Joplin and The Grateful Dead and released a single: "Once Upon a Time" backed with "Hello."

After a brief run as a parking-lot attendant, a friend encouraged him to try out for a new musical, called Hair. He landed the part, which led him to a recording contract at Motown where he was paired with cast-mate Sean “Stoney” Murphy. Together they recorded vocals for an album called “Stoney and Meatloaf.” The LP's single, “What You See is What You Get,” had minor chart success, but led to live gigs, opening shows for the likes of Alice Cooper and Bob Seger (among others.) Aday’s next move was back to the touring company of “Hair,” followed by a stint off- Broadway in the show More Than You Deserve, written by Jim Steinman. The pair would later developed a partnership, and later went on to collaborate on the Bat Out of Hell trilogy of albums, consisting of Bat Out of Hell , Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell and Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose .

A casting call in Los Angeles led the now professionally-named Meat Loaf to the dual role of Eddie and Dr Scott in the Roxy Cast of The Rocky Horror Show . The success of the show led to the filmed version, The Rocky Horror Picture Show where he reprised the role of Eddie, though the part of Dr. Scott was now played by Jonathan Adams , who originated the part of The Narrator in the London Cast . During this period, Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman (who had begun writing material for Bat Out Of Hell in 1972) started shopping their album. Dismissed as not fitting with any conventional format, the album finally was produced when Todd Rundgren took an interest in the music and produced it with members of his band, Utopia, playing on the tracks.

Bat Out Of Hell was released in October of 1977, just as The Rocky Horror Picture Show was becoming an acknowledged cult phenomenon. Four songs from the album were shot at a live performance, and as a personal favor, Lou Adler agreed to include “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” as a trailer to Rocky Horror in many venues. The result was instant pandemonium. The combination of Rocky Horror ’s growing popularity coupled with the solid theatrical, melodramatic rock LP catapulted up the charts, eventually selling over 45 million copies world-wide. It remains one of the top-selling albums of all time, and in the UK has remained in the top-200 sellers ever since its release.

Meat Loaf went on to be a rock super-star, recording and releasing a string of hit albums. Additionally, he has appeared in over a dozen films and a variety of television guest spots, notably on the Rocky-related " The Rocky Horror Glee Show " episode of Glee with Barry Bostwick in 2010, and a 1981 appearance on Saturday Night Live with Tim Curry in a sketch called " Tim And Meat's One-Stop Rocky Horror Shop ".

• In 1976, Meat Loaf recorded lead vocals for Ted Nugent's album Free-for-All when regular Nugent lead vocalist Derek St. Holmes temporarily quit the band (credited as Meatloaf)
• In 1999, he released To Hell And Back: An Autobiography
• In 2001, Meat Loaf had his name legally changed from Marvin to Michael.
• After Meat Loaf passed on January 20, 2022, the Roxy Theatre paid tribute to him with the marquee that read "RIP MEATLOAF BLESS HIS SOUL HE REALLY LOVED ROCK AND ROLL".

Meat Loaf, a flying wheelchair, and the greatest story ever told

In 1989 Meat Loaf's career was floundering, and he was booked on a tour of small Irish halls. It did not go according to plan

In the late 1980s, a good pal of mine worked for a well known music pro­moter and for­mer Euro­vi­sion star. One of his spe­cial­i­ties was to bring in stars either past their prime, or on the skids, for Irish tours. The Irish would never give up on a star was this pro­mot­er's mantra: The hits will keep them com­ing to shows .

One such act was Mar­vin Lee Aday, a.k.a.  Meat­ Loaf . As well as being wheel­chair-bound for a spell in the 1980s after breaking his leg jumping off a stage in Ottawa, Meat­ was to all intents and pur­poses immo­bile in every pos­si­ble musi­cal sense. A few years ear­lier he had “embraced” the 1980s' power-pop-rock sound with the abysmal, Blind Before I Stop album, a disc produced by German Boney M mastermind Frank Farian. The album's mas­tur­ba­tory title did lit­tle to hide the mess within, and even a crowdpleaser like David Has­sel­hoff would have strug­gled with songs such as Rock ‘N’ Roll Mer­ce­nar­ies , Spe­cial Girl and Rock ‘N’ Roll Hero . 

One possible sal­va­tion appeared in the shape of a new musi­cal foil, John Parr – the pair duetted on Rock 'N' Roll Mercenaries – but Meat made a balls of that one, allegedly falling out with Parr on stage in Lon­don. With his record deal about to go too, old Meat was a goner. He was reduced to touring ‘inti­mate’ venues — the types he would have ignored long before Bat Out of Hell broke. But he still had pock­ets of fans in Ire­land and the UK he could depend on. 

The rural rock­ers of Ire­land, in par­tic­u­lar, are the type of loyal fan every star craves. So long as there’s a fella throw­ing shapes with a loud gui­tar and an act who’ll play the hits, they’ll go for it. And so, in 1989, Meat­ Loaf was booked on a ram­shackle tour of some of Ireland’s worst com­mu­nity cen­tres, ball­rooms, hotel func­tion rooms and other assorted sheds sud­denly deemed good enough to host rock roy­alty. He even turned up in a few fields. 

The pro­mot­ers were so con­fi­dent that this tour would be a hit that they booked Status Quo for the same one the fol­low­ing year. Nei­ther act refused the itin­er­ary (or the money).

With such an iconic star as Meat­ Loaf in town, the peo­ple of rural Ire­land came out in their droves. Prac­ti­cally every show was a sell-out with the door­men more than happy to ram a few more heads into each gig if the price was right. 

Bar sales rocketed as every­one in town got pissed in advance of hear­ing Bat Out Of Hell on their doorstep. The shows were rowdy and rock­ing, the band were just fan­tas­tic, and the tour per­son­nel were enjoy­ing their brush their star­dom. But, a cou­ple of over­stuffed gigs in, Meat­ Loaf was begin­ning to crack.

There were too many peo­ple at each ‘inti­mate’ show, and for a man who had been play­ing sta­di­ums a few years back, this wasn’t what the dream had mapped out. The tour reached its nadir when it pulled into Moate, a town in Co. West­meath famous not only for being the birthplace­ of one half of folk duo Fos­ter and Allen, but also for hav­ing the widest main street in Ire­land at the time.

Two or three songs into the gig, and the pres­sure was build­ing up at the front.

“Please guys, can you move back a cou­ple of steps?” pleaded Meat as he fin­ished You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth, to an audi­ence on the move, hor­i­zon­tally and ver­ti­cally. "Someone’s gonna get hurt."

About six peo­ple heard him. The rest of them were either scream­ing for the hits or try­ing to fin­ish their cans of Fos­ters which, along­side Harp, Hoff­mans and Furstenberg, was the sta­ble tinned lager at Irish gigs of the time. I was being crushed down the back, my pre­vi­ous gig­ging expe­ri­ence lim­ited to see­ing Mamas Boys, Christy Moore and, of course, local entertainer Joe Dolan.

The gig car­ried on, and more and more peo­ple swelled the already packed Community Cen­tre. As this was a local gig for the tour pro­moter, there was no way he was refus­ing any­one from his neck of the woods, par­tic­u­larly if they arrived at the door bran­dish­ing cash.

Ear­lier in the tour Meat had assigned a new role to my tour man­ag­ing pal Marty – to pro­tect him, to be his body­guard. Marty told us he’s “take a bul­let” for Meat­, such was his love of the big man’s music. 

As the Moate gig stepped into gear, Meat Loaf’s new body­guard sensed that the man him­self was about to explode. He had erupted a few times over the past few nights. Marty moved into posi­tion on the side of the stage to reas­sure Meat that every­thing was O.K. He liked reas­sur­ances, did Mar­vin, and my friend Marty was just the man to give them to him. But the crowd was far from reas­sur­ing.  Empty beer cans began to be hurled around the venue. Some clanged off the side of the stage.

With the gig still building momentum, a lone Dr. Marten boot broke the imag­i­nary wall between per­former and audi­ence and landed on stage.

Now, in his pre­vi­ous arena-filling life, Meat­ Loaf was more accus­tomed to fren­zied females fever­ishly whip­ping off their panties before launch­ing them towards the stage. He was no stud, but as his sweaty arena show reached its peak there seemed to be no stop­ping more excitable female audi­ence mem­bers. But there was none of those in rural Ire­land tonight. 

A few moments later another item of men’s footwear landed on stage, fol­lowed inter­mit­tently by sev­eral other items of cloth­ing, none of which resem­bled silk panties. Meat­ Loaf was hav­ing none of it.

“Stop fuck­ing throw­ing things!” he roared, the glare in his eyes adding the nec­es­sary ‘or else’. The crowd didn’t care. Beer cans, glasses, bot­tles and what­ever else was get­ting in the way of the increas­ingly crushed audi­ence began to arrive on stage at var­i­ous inter­vals before, dur­ing and after songs. The odd unfin­ished cigarette also came up. As a junior smoker at the time who was well accus­tomed to shar­ing cigs with my pals (in fact it was the norm) I thought this was an affec­tion­ate ges­ture for Meat­ Loaf to take a drag. Not so.

“I’m fuck­ing leav­ing here man,” Meat­ Loaf roared, to Marty by the side of the stage.

“No way! You can’t,” Marty told Meat­. “They’ll fuck­ing kill you.”

A white run­ner boot, its path to the stage illu­mi­nated by the arc of a spot­light, then hit the star turn.

“Fuck you!” Meat­ Loaf roared back, and he promptly stormed off stage, micro­phone drop­ping to the floor in a screech of feed­back. The band – a bunch of hired hands most likely on wages as poor as the food through­out the tour – were not yet fully com­pe­tent in read­ing Meat Loaf’s sig­nals, and they played on. Was this a cos­tume change? “I dunno, I’m only the drummer.”

Back­stage in the nar­row hall­way which tre­bled as dress­ing room, load-in point and back­stage area, Meat­ Loaf was fum­ing. Like the band, the crowd hadn’t yet realised he’d stormed off stage so not only did his grand exit not achieve the desired effect, but most peo­ple there thought it was part of the show.

Supremely pissed off, he reluc­tantly went back on to about a thou­sand roars for Bat Out Of Hell .

As more debris rained on stage, Meat­ Loaf warned the crowd that he would “walk out the fuck­ing door” if they con­tin­ued this sort of carry on.

“I’m fuck­ing warn­ing you,” he roared as the band broke into Dead Ringer For Love , one of Meat’s biggest Irish hits and one guar­an­teed to send the crowd doolally, “one more thing lands on this stage and I’m leav­ing.” 

A cou­ple of cans flew around the venue, but none landed on stage. They were joined in their flight by a cou­ple of shoes and sneak­ers, only one of which landed on stage. But, fair play to him, Meat Loaf held firm, though the threat of storm­ing off stage was still very real.

Attempt­ing the unen­vi­able task of pro­tect­ing Meat­ Loaf from debris and hold­ing the crowd back was my pal Marty. He was stand­ing in the pit directly on front of the stage, swat­ting beer cans when sud­denly, every­thing in the com­mu­nity cen­tre went into slow motion.

Marty recalls: “The lights caught some­thing shiny and a sec­ond or two later I saw it. I thought ‘oh no… this is it… show’s over’…”

Fly­ing through the air was… a wheelchair.

The chair flew directly over Marty’s head. He turned just in time to see Meat Loaf’s eyes swell with an unusual mix­ture of both fear and won­der. The burly singer put out an arm and attempted to step back. The stage was so small he stum­bled into the drum riser just as the wheel­chair crashed onto the boards in front of him. In slow motion the big man appeared to fall, the empty wheel­chair bounc­ing to his left, one wheel com­i­cally spinning.

Marty remem­bers the crowd cheer­ing. He was sure he could make out some­one scream­ing, but by the time he could react Meat­ had got­ten to his feet, grabbed the mic, roared at the audi­ence and hurled it at them as he stormed off. 

How­ever, the lead of the mic was too short and it hit the advanc­ing Marty, whose own incredulity at what had been launched onto the stage had pre­vented him from get­ting up there sooner. As he climbed onto the stage the band were already leav­ing it. The show was not even a half an hour old.

As he arrived back­stage to find Meat­ Loaf ablaze with swear­words, anger and American hand-gestures, Marty decided to let the con­cert pro­moter do the talk­ing. There was no way Meat­ Loaf would return to the stage. “No fuck­ing way!” said the big man. “Not after what they did to that poor kid in the wheelchair.”

“Christ!” thought Marty. “Who was actu­ally in the wheel­chair?” There was no way of know­ing if there was a poor kid, such was the vol­ume of peo­ple within the Com­mu­nity Cen­tre, and there was no way Meat­ Loaf was going back in front of them to find out.

They lairy audi­ence began to get even more rest­less. A riot – unheard of in rural rock­ing cir­cles, though another pal of mine swore blind his emi­grant brother was at a Dio-era Black Sab­bath gig in the states when one broke out – was almost cer­tainly on the cards.

Despite pleas that return­ing to the stage would calm the rest­less natives, Meat­ Loaf stormed out of the venue towards his bus, his band and entourage close behind in a show of sol­i­dar­ity and strength. The pro­moter, his entourage and my pal Marty tried to rea­son with him, but to no avail. Out of the blue, an angry man in a denim jacket appeared.

Could he be linked to the wheel­chair? Er, no.

“Get back on that stage ya bol­locks,” he roared at Meat­ Loaf, as he stormed over to him, arm coil­ing up to his side. “We paid good fuck­ing money to see you!”

The man went for Meat­ Loaf. Would Meat­ Loaf go for him? The man’s fist looked deadly. He raised it back and pushed it out. Act­ing on instinct, my pal Marty dived in to pro­tect Meat­ Loaf. He was, after all, on secu­rity detail. 

Again, every­thing sud­denly went into slow motion. Marty’s feet left the ground as he launched him­self into the air. As his face flew into view and blocked Meat Loaf’s head, the irate audi­ence member’s fist stuck, con­nect­ing with his nose. Blood spurted loose as Marty com­pleted his dive and landed on the tar­mac. 

Meat Loaf’s own peo­ple man­aged to get their man out of the way and within sec­onds he was on a bus, bound for the hotel. My pal Marty lay on the ground, his nose bro­ken, but no injury could dent his pride at ‘tak­ing a bul­let’ for Meat Loaf.

“It was like a Pres­i­den­tial movie,” he recalls.

The tour resumed in Car­low the fol­low­ing night, where Meat­ Loaf per­son­ally thanked Marty for inter­ven­ing the night before. Secu­rity was tight­ened up con­sid­er­ably, with a load of army and hardy FCA (local defence force) boys drafted in on the promise of free tick­ets, a cou­ple of cans and a few bob, and for the first time on the sold-out tour, ‘house full’ signs were erected and the door­men said no.

Secu­rity was even tighter when the Quo did the same tour (minus a few of the sheds) a year later. 20 years later and my pal Marty’s nose is a crooked bro­ken mess, a side­ways Manilow, but he’s a proud man and to this day he calls the nose ‘Meat Loaf’ in hon­our of the man for whom he took a bullet.

A lit­tle over a year later and Meat­ Loaf was back in the are­nas. He rekin­dled his part­ner­ship and friend­ship with Jim Stein­man and together they penned Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell , an album which spawned I’d Do Any­thing for Love (But I Won’t Do That) , a song that got to num­ber one in 28 coun­tries. 

My pal Marty likes to think that the unspo­ken ‘that’ in the hit song refers to steal­ing someone’s wheel­chair, and throw­ing it up on stage.

Remembering Meat Loaf's tour of 19 Irish towns in 1989

"in 1989, we also did nineteen towns in ireland. we toured ireland more than u2. there are not that many irish bands other than the irish folk bands that travel around," meat loaf wrote in his memoir..

Rock music icon Meat Loaf died at 74 on Thursday, eliciting memories of his unique tour of Ireland during Troubles in the late 1980s. 

Meat Loaf, also known as Marvin Lee Aday, was going through a rough patch as the 1980s drew to a close following the release of some questionable songs, which saw his popularity dip in the United States. 

However, he remained as popular as ever across the Atlantic and toured 19 Irish towns in 1989 in a tour that took him across the length and breadth of the country. 

Meat Loaf recalled his memories of the tour in his 1999 memoir "To Hell and Back". 

"In 1989, we also did nineteen towns in Ireland. We toured Ireland more than U2. There are not that many Irish bands other than the Irish folk bands that travel around," the singer wrote.

He remembered traveling from town to town in "rickety old buses" that would often have to stop to allow a flock of sheep to cross the road, while the venues he played at were so small that a local farmer or pub owner often doubled as a concert promoter. 

"At one place it was the parish priest," he said. 

He recalled one particular concert in a "big barn in the middle of a field" that had no power. 

"They had put a stage down at one end. I went inside and everybody was just standing around. I said, "Are we ready for a soundcheck?" They said, "Not quite. You see, the building has no power. And the thing of it is nobody thought the barn having no power, this being the first time we've had a rock band here." Okay, no soundcheck.

"The doors open and people are coming in. By 7:30 pm, there were easily three thousand people crammed into this building and we still had no power. Eventually, they had just enough power to run about three or four light bulbs on the ceiling. I know there were a few lights because we could see the people. At 8 pm, the generator shows up and saves the day." 

Meat Loaf's tour also took him across the border into Northern Ireland, where he witnessed the Troubles first-hand.

He remembered that his wife Leslie got off the tour bus wearing orange clothes in County Antrim, causing their promoter to have a nervous breakdown.

"Leslie got off the bus to walk around and when the promoter caught sight of her he was absolutely mortified. "Are you wanting to be shot?" he asked. "Do you understand what you're doing? You are wearing orange and it is such-and-such a day and this is a county that is completely Catholic and, well, that orange you're wearing is like a red flag to a bull." She had to go change her clothes." 

He also revealed that IRA members traveled on the tour bus in plain clothes, while British Army troops traveled in front and behind the tour bus. 

He said that the concert promoters worked out a deal with the IRA and the British Army to ensure that no harm would come to the group as it toured Northern Ireland.

Taylor Swift ’s Lover logs its 46th week at No. 1 on Billboard ’s Catalog Albums chart, extending its record for the longest run by a female solo artist in the chart’s history. Lover eclipsed Adele ’s debut album, 19 , four weeks ago.

Lover didn’t get all that much love (at least by Swift’s sky-high standards) when it was released. The album spent just one week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was passed over for a Grammy nod for album of the year (though it did receive a Grammy nod for best pop vocal album). But the belated success of “Cruel Summer,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks starting in October 2023, more than four years after the album’s release, has revived the album. The phenomenal success of the Eras Tour has also kept it high on the charts.

The Catalog Albums chart ranks the week’s most popular catalog albums in the U.S. Catalog albums are titles that are older than 18 months old and have fallen below No. 100 on the Billboard 200 — or holiday albums in their second holiday season. The chart was introduced in  Billboard  in the issue dated May 25, 1991.

For the first 18 years of Top Catalog Albums, catalog albums weren’t eligible to appear on the Billboard 200. That changed with the Dec. 5, 2009-dated chart, when catalog restrictions were lifted, turning the Billboard 200 into an all-inclusive list of the best-selling albums in the country, regardless of their age. (The adjustment came after Michael Jackson ’s death in June 2009, which triggered a sales explosion for his catalog titles. Jackson’s catalog compilation  Number Ones  was the best-selling album in six of the first seven weeks following his death, yet was ineligible for  Billboard ’s flagship chart – marking the first time a catalog album had outsold the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.) Starting with the issue dated Dec. 13, 2014,  Billboard  shifted from pure sales to a multi-factor consumption formula that also includes on-demand streaming and digital track sales.

We’re going to count down the 17 albums with the longest runs at No. 1 on Catalog Albums from 1991 to the present. It’s an eclectic list, to say the least. It includes two Christmas albums, a film soundtrack and a remarkably wide range of music, including pop, traditional pop, rock, hard rock, R&B, rap, country and reggae.

Eight of the albums on the list were released prior to the 1991 inception of the chart. Impressively, they made the list even though activity prior to the chart’s inception doesn’t count.

Here are the albums with the longest runs at No. 1 on Catalog Albums from 1991 to the present. Each entry includes the album’s release date, the date the album first reached No. 1 on Catalog Albums and the album’s peak position on the Billboard 200.

Prince,  The Very Best of Prince , 18 weeks

Released: July 31, 2001

First reached No. 1: April 10, 2004

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for one week (May 7, 2016)

Notes: This is the only album to simultaneously rank No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the Catalog Albums chart. The compilation initially debuted and peaked at No. 66 on the Billboard 200 in August 2001, but re-entered the chart in the issue dated May 7, 2016, the week following Prince’s death (on April 21, 2016).

The Righteous Brothers,  Unchained Melody: The Best of the Righteous Brothers , 19 weeks

Released: Oct. 2, 1990

First reached No. 1: May 25, 1991

Billboard 200 peak: No. 161 (Nov. 24, 1990)

Notes: This album was released three months after the release of the box-office smash  Ghost , which featured the duo’s 1965 smash “Unchained Melody” over the famous pottery wheel scene. Two competing Righteous Brothers recordings of “Unchained Melody” – the original and a re-recording – made the top 20 on the Hot 100 in the wake of Ghost.

Pink Floyd,  The Dark Side of the Moon , 23 weeks

Released: March 1, 1973

First reached No. 1: April 17, 1993

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for one week (April 28, 1973)

Notes: This rock classic spawned the band’s first top 20 hit on the Hot 100, “Money.” Pink Floyd did not receive a single Grammy nomination for this album, if you can believe that: The album’s only nomination was best engineered recording (non-classical), for which Alan Parsons got the nod. Note: A separate, high-end audio SACD edition topped the Catalog Albums chart for one week in 2003. That week is not included in the tally for the regular edition.

Meat Loaf,  Bat Out of Hell , 23 weeks

Released: Oct. 21, 1977

First reached No. 1: Aug. 24, 1991

Billboard 200 peak: No. 13 (Feb. 5, 2022)

Notes: The album’s enduring success as a catalog album laid the groundwork for the success of Meat Loaf’s 1993 sequel Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell , which hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Bat Out of Hell spawned his first top 20 hit on the Hot 100, “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad.” This was Meat’s first solo album; he had previously teamed with female singer Shaun Murphy in Stoney & Meatloaf, which released an eponymous album in 1971.

This album initially peaked at No. 14 in September 1978 and re-entered the chart at No. 13 in February 2022, resulting in a new peak position.

Johnny Cash,  16 Biggest Hits , 26 weeks

Released: February 1999

First reached No. 1: Sept. 27, 2003

Billboard 200 peak: No. 65 (Jan. 12, 2013)

Notes: This is the country album with the longest run at No. 1. The album topped the catalog chart for the first time in the issue dated Sept. 27, 2003, the week following Cash’s death on Sept. 12, 2003.

The album initially peaked at No. 185 on the Billboard 200 in May 1999, but reached its No. 65 peak in January 2013.

Beastie Boys,  Licensed to Ill , 27 weeks

Released: Nov. 15, 1986

First reached No. 1: June 24, 1995

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for seven weeks (beginning March 7, 1987)

Notes: This is the hip-hop album with the longest run at No. 1. The album made history in April 1987 as the first hip-hop album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It bumped Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band out of the top spot, and put the industry on notice that rock’s era of unchallenged supremacy was coming to an end. The album spawned the trio’s only top 10 hit on the Hot 100, “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!).”

Kenny G,  Miracles: The Holiday Album , 27 weeks

Released: Nov. 1, 1994

First reached No. 1: Nov. 11, 1995

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for three weeks (beginning Dec. 10, 1994)

Notes: This is the instrumental album with the longest run at No. 1. Miracles: The Holiday Album was the first Christmas album to top the Billboard 200 since Mitch Miller’s  Holiday Sing Along With Mitch , which was released in 1961. Kenny G’s recording of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” which Judy Garland introduced in the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis , received a Grammy nomination for best pop instrumental performance.

Michael Jackson,  Number Ones , 31 weeks

Released: Nov. 18, 2003

First reached No. 1: July 11, 2009

Billboard 200 peak: No. 13 (Dec. 6, 2003)

Notes: This is the R&B/pop crossover album with the longest run at No. 1. This topped the catalog chart for the first time in the issue dated July 11, 2009, the week following Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009.

Eric Clapton,  Time Pieces/The Best of Eric Clapton , 37 weeks

Released: May 14, 1982

First reached No. 1: Feb. 22, 1992

Billboard 200 peak: No. 101 (June 12, 1982)

Notes: This collection became a smash on Catalog Albums while “Tears in Heaven” was a hit, on its way to becoming Clapton’s longest-running Hot 100 hit to that point. (“Tears in Heaven” isn’t on the collection, nor is the subsequent “Change the World,” which had an even longer run on the Hot 100.)

Adele,  19 , 41 weeks

Released: Jan. 28, 2008

First reached No. 1: March 5, 2011

Billboard 200 peak: No. 4 (March 3, 2012)

Notes: 19  dominated the Catalog Albums chart while Adele’s sophomore album, 21 , set up residency in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200, as fans sought to catch up on what they’d missed. 19 brought Adele her first two Grammys — best new artist and best female pop vocal performance for “Chasing Pavements,” which was her first top 30 hit on the Hot 100.

This album initially peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 in February 2009 (following Adele’s first big night at the Grammys), but reached its No. 4 peak in February 2012 (following her second, even bigger night at the Grammys).

Metallica,  Metallica , 45 weeks

Released: Aug. 12, 1991

First reached No. 1: Jan. 17, 1998

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for four weeks (beginning Aug. 31, 1991)

Notes: This is the only hard rock/metal album on this list. This was Metallica’s first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and spawned the band’s first top 20 hit on the Hot 100, “Enter Sandman.” Metallica won a Grammy for best metal performance.

Taylor Swift, Lover, 46 weeks

Released: Aug. 23, 2019

First reached No. 1: June 10, 2023

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for one week (Sept. 7, 2019)

Notes: This is the album by a female solo artist with the longest run at No. 1. It exploded thanks to the popularity of “Cruel Summer,” which is Swift’s longest-charting Hot 100 hit to date, and to the phenomenal success of Swift’s The Eras Tour. In addition to its Grammy nod for best pop vocal album, the album’s second single, “You Need to Calm Down,” was nominated for best pop solo performance and the album’s title song was nominated for song of the year.

Various Artists,  Grease  soundtrack, 52 weeks

Released: April 14, 1978

First reached No. 1: Nov. 2, 1996

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for 12 weeks (beginning July 29, 1978)

Notes: This is the soundtrack with the longest run at No. 1. This is also the only album to log 10 or more weeks at No. 1 on both Catalog Albums and the Billboard 200. This album spawned four top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 — the Olivia Newton-John/John Travolta collabs “You’re the One That I Want” and “Summer Nights,” Newton-John’s solo smash “Hopelessly Devoted to You” and Frankie Valli’s “Grease.”

This is the only album on this list that received a Grammy nomination for album of the year. (Feel free to inject here, “You mean to tell me [blank] wasn’t nominated for album of the year?” Nope, it wasn’t.) Newton-John received a second nod for best pop vocal performance, female, for “Hopelessly…”

Creed,  My Own Prison , 54 weeks

Released: Aug. 26, 1997

First reached No. 1: Jan. 22, 2000

Billboard 200 peak: No. 22 (May 2, 1998)

Notes: This the debut album with the longest run at No. 1 on Top Catalog Albums. The band’s next two albums, Human Clay (1999)and Weathered (2001) logged a combined total of 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Michael Bublé,  Christmas , 56 weeks

Released: Oct. 25, 2011

First reached No. 1: Nov. 17, 2012

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for five weeks (beginning Dec. 10, 2011)

Notes: This is the album by a male solo artist with the longest run at No. 1. It’s also the Christmas album with the longest run at No. 1. It was Grammy-nominated for best traditional pop vocal album, but, surprisingly, didn’t win. (It lost to Paul McCartney’s collection of standards, Kisses on the Bottom .)

Queen,  Greatest Hits , 105 weeks

Released in the U.K.: Oct. 26, 1981

First reached No. 1: June 2, 2018

Billboard 200 peak: No. 8 (Nov. 28, 2020)

Notes: This is the rock album with the longest run at No. 1. The compilation first hit No. 1 on Catalog Albums five months before the U.S. release of the film  Bohemian Rhapsody , which turbocharged Queen’s popularity.

This album initially peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 in December 1981, but finally reached its No. 8 peak in November 2020.

Bob Marley & the Wailers,  Legend , 126 weeks

Released: May 8, 1984

First reached No. 1: May 22, 1993

Billboard 200 peak: No. 5 (Sept. 20, 2014)

Notes: This compilation, consisting of recordings from 1972-81, was released three years after Marley’s death on May 11, 1981. Marley had only one Hot 100 hit as an artist, “Roots, Rock, Reggae,” which reached No. 51 in 1976 — and that song isn’t included on this compilation. Legend does include two songs Marley wrote that became big pop hits for other artists: “Stir It Up,” a No. 12 hit for Johnny Nash in 1973 and “I Shot the Sheriff,” a No. 1 hit for Eric Clapton the following year.

But though they weren’t chart hits for him, many of the songs from Legend have become widely known, including “One Love” (performed with an interpolation of the melody from another all-time classic, The Impressions’ “People Get Ready”), “Three Little Birds,” “Jamming” and “Get Up, Stand Up.”

This compilation initially peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard 200 in October 1984, but finally muscled its way to its No. 5 peak in September 2014. Now that’s more like it for one of the best-selling sets of all time, and one reggae collection that just about everybody knows.
