He&#8217;s a Liverpool rapper who seems to be pretty obscure &#8211; no bio on Genius, no other tracks on Spotify.

These things can be inconsistent, because the surge of interest doesn&#8217;t generally last all week, and if it winds up straddling two chart weeks then it can fall between the cracks. Meat Loaf&#8217;s death was announced right at the start of the chart week, giving it maximum opportunity to chart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bat Out of Hell&#8221; was a number 15 hit in 1979, but reached number 8 on reissue in 1993. &#8220;I&#8217;d Do Anything for Love&#8221; was his only UK number 1, and a pretty big one &#8211; it spent seven weeks at the top in 1993. His third song, &#8220;Two out of Three Ain&#8217;t Bad&#8221;, is at number 46 &#8211; a slightly surprising choice, because it only got to number 32 when released as a single in 1978.\u00a0Meat Loaf had four other top 10 hits, and I&#8217;m genuinely surprised that &#8220;Dead Ringer for Love&#8221; (number 5 in 1981) didn&#8217;t make the cut.<\/p>\n<p>The album\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Bat Out of Hell&#8221;<\/strong> re-enters at number 3;\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Hits Out of Hell&#8221;<\/strong> is at 5; and\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Bat Out of Hell 2 &#8211; Back Into Hell&#8221;<\/strong> is at 24.<\/p>\n<p><strong>39.

He had two number 1s in 2015 (one of them as a guest with Wiz Khalifa, admittedly), and another couple of top ten hits in 2017, but that&#8217;s the last we heard of him. He hasn&#8217;t released much since then &#8211; he claimed in 2020 to have junked a third album that wasn&#8217;t working, which might have something to do with that.<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s climbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Peru&#8221; by Fireboy DML &amp; Ed Sheeran<\/strong> climbs 4-2.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Surface Pressure&#8221; by Jessica Darrow<\/strong> climbs 5-4.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&#8220;Where Are You Now&#8221; by Lost Frequencies &amp; Calum Scott<\/strong> climbs 11-7.
