Scatman's World


Scatman's World is the debut major label studio album by American musician Scatman John, recorded after the worldwide success of his debut single "Scatman ". It is something of a concept album dealing with an imaginary Utopian society named "Scatland". He speaks about this at length in the liner notes: "If you're wondering where Scatland is, you don't have to look too far; it's between your deepest dreams and warmest wishes".
Scatman's World was very popular internationally, particularly in Japan, where it reached No. 2 and stayed on the charts for 40 weeks, selling more than 1,560,000 copies overall, ranking among the top twenty best-selling albums of all time in that country recorded by non-Japanese artists. In the late 2010s, the title track “Scatman’s World” saw a resurgence in popularity due to becoming an internet meme.
