Caramelized chopped onions, seasoned with worchestershire or a sweet white wine.
Or add some heat to that chili sauce with a little red pepper.
When I have done meat loaf for a funeral meal, I serve it in slices, but top some with a chunky tomato sauce I make out of canned diced tomatoes, chopped onion,celery and chicken broth, cooked until it's thick...bit of garlic.
Or chopped onions sauteed uintil dark brown and sweet.

I use this:

¼ cup tomato paste
1-tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
pepper to taste

Mix together and brush on meatloaf. This is enough for about 1-½ pounds of meat. Increase as necessary. It makes a tasty, shiny glaze.

I just top mine with ketchup or barbecue sauce. I put it on before I put it in the oven.

Blend some ketchup, a little chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and a little bottled BBQ sauce. We love this. Sorry I don't have any measurements - it's one of those "little bit of this, little bit of that" methods of experimental cooking :) AnnVA

I put this on my meatloaf just before putting it in the oven:
topping:
3T brown sugar
1/4 catsup
1 tsp mustard
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Mix all together and spread over meatloaf just before baking.

I use tomate frito...which is part of my meatloaf recipe as some of it also goes into the mix. It's a tomato sauce fried in olive oil and sold here in Spain, but also in some stores in North America. Sharper and not as sweet as ketchup, it gives a nice tang.

The other toppings mentioned above also sound good!

I do the same as Roselin, but add about a Tblsp. of lemon juice to it.

A ketchup grape jelly blend is good too.

I have always frosted my meatloaf with: Just ketchup, garlic salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Simple but really good, and I put it on quite thick.
