Per the RIAA's Top Album Tallies page, 14 million copies of Bat Out Of Hell have been sold in the US. That make it the 34th best-selling album of all-time in America, right behind Garth Brooks' Robin' in the Wind.

FWIW, the top ten are The Eagles Greatest Hits (38MM),
Thriller (33MM),
Hotel California (26MM),
Back in Black (25MM),
The Beatles (24MM),
Billy Joel's Greatest Hits (23MM),
Led Zeppelin IV (23MM),
The Wall (23MM),
Garth Brooks Double Live (21MM), and
Cracked Rear View Mirror (21MM).

Only The Wall, Led Zep and Hotel California are on my radar, really.

The rest, meh.

One of my great regrets is losing my 70s Easy Rider centerfold of Meat on a Panhead

You know I had to look up Cracked Rear View. Now I remember.

What a fascinating top 10.

The Eagle have 2?!! Wow.

I was born in ‘68 so they’re definitely not before my time but I never knew they were that popular.

I know nothing about country music but there probably is a huge fan base to tap into.

Interesting. Thanks.

Loaf was the first 8 Track Cartridge I ever listened to :)

** SPRINGSTEEN SUCKS PING LIST **

Just pointing out that Bruce Springsteen doesn’t make this list.

Although 15mm people may have wasted their money on “Born in the USA,” SPRINGSTEEN STILL SUCKS.
