Observer6 days ago
The back catalogue of Ozzy Osbourne and his band Black Sabbath has surged in Britain's charts following the rockstar's death.
Black Sabbath's signature song "Paranoid," a number four hit in 1970, has returned to the Top 40 (at number 32) for the first time in nearly 45 years, the Official Charts Company said.
Osbourne, 76, died on Tuesday, and Black Sabbath's "The Ultimate Collection" returned to the album chart, climbing 129 places to number 22.
It is one of six Black Sabbath and Osbourne releases inside this week's wider top 200, with Black Sabbath's 1970 album "Paranoid" at number 52, Osbourne's 2014 hits collection "Memoirs of a Madman" at 60, his "Prince of Darkness" at 71, and Sabbath's "Mob Rules" at number 107.
Meanwhile, US singer Justin Bieber has achieved his eighth UK number one single with "Daisies" – his first number one in six years.
Last week's number one, "Dior" by producer MK, known as Marc Kinchen, featuring singer-songwriter Chrystal, slips to second place, while US singer Alex Warren scores the highest new entry with "Eternity" at number three.
Netflix musical movie "KPop Demon Hunters" continues to make an impact by placing three songs in the top 20. "Golden" by HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, and REI AMI leads the way at number four.
US singer Sabrina Carpenter takes fifth place with her chart-topper "Manchild."
Meanwhile, Oasis continues to dominate the charts as they play their reunion gigs in the UK.
"Wonderwall," released in 1995, has re-entered the singles chart at number 27, joining other anthems "Don't Look Back in Anger" at 22 and "Live Forever" at 23.
And they also have three albums in the top five: "Time Flies 1994–2009" at number three, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" at four, and "Definitely Maybe" in fifth place.
Topping the album chart is Warren's "You'll Be Alright, Kid" – his first UK number one album.
In second place is American rapper Tyler, The Creator, with "Don't Tap the Glass."—dpa

Marchand, McIntosh dominate as US end turbulent worlds with record

Leon Marchand and Summer McIntosh sealed their golden swimming world championships with dominant victories on Sunday's final day as the United States signed off with a relay record. Eight days of competition in Singapore wrapped up with French superstar Marchand and 18-year-old Canadian sensation McIntosh underlining their supremacy. Marchand, who won four individual golds and was the face of his home Paris Olympics a year ago, added the 400m individual medley crown to his 200m medley title this week. The 23-year-old arrived in Singapore with a lighter programme in an effort to smash Ryan Lochte's 2011 200m IM world record -- and he did just that. Marchand on Sunday cruised to victory in the 400IM, powering to the wall in 4min 04.73sec, more than three seconds ahead of Japan's Tomoyuki Matsushita (4:08.32), with Russian Ilia Borodin (4:09.16) third. Not to be outdone, McIntosh was similarly emphatic in winning the women's 400IM for her fourth gold in Singapore, to go with triumphs in the 200m medley, 200m butterfly and 400m freestyle. The world record holder led from start to finish to romp to victory in a championships-record 4:25.78, with Australia's Jenna Forrester and Japan's Mio Narita sharing silver (4:33.26). McIntosh's only defeat of the championships came on Saturday when she finished third in the 800m freestyle, with the American Katie Ledecky reigning over that event once more to underline her enduring quality aged 28. The US team were battling acute gastroenteritis all week and faced flak from Olympic greats Michael Phelps and Lochte. But they silenced the doubters by breaking their own world record in winning the women's 4x100m medley relay. The Americans were victorious in 3:49.34, beating their previous record of 3:49.63 from Paris a year ago. They also set a mixed 4x100m freestyle world record on Saturday. The US ended a turbulent week top of the pile with nine golds, ahead of Australia with eight and France and Canada on four -- all by McIntosh. American three-time Olympic gold medallist Bobby Finke hit back, saying the criticism was "weak" and "stupid". "Someone wants to say our swimmers are entitled, that's just the dumbest thing I've personally ever heard," world record holder Finke said after winning bronze in the 1,500m freestyle. - History-maker at 12 - China's 12-year-old schoolgirl Yu Zidi -- whose presence at the championships at such a young age has ignited debate -- was just out of the medals in fourth in the 400m medley. Yu was fourth in all three of her individual events and looks set to become a superstar of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. She goes home with a relay bronze from earlier in the week, and with it a slice of history as the youngest medallist ever. Australia's Meg Harris beamed from ear to ear after joining compatriot Cam McEvoy as a 50m freestyle champion. A day after McEvoy won the men's sprint, Paris Olympics silver medallist Harris powered home in 24.02sec to beat Chinese pair Wu Qingfeng (24.26) and Cheng Yujie (24.28). Harris said becoming an individual world champion was "the dream I have been dreaming of the whole time". "This is why I swim," said the 23-year-old. Tunisia's Ahmed Jaouadi added the 1,500m freestyle world title to his 800m crown. Jaouadi grabbed gold in 14min 34.41sec, ahead of Germany's Sven Schwarz (14:35.69) and American Finke (14:36.60). There was a Russian victory in the men's 50m backstroke, with world record holder Kliment Kolesnikov dominating for gold in a championships-record 23.68sec. Russian swimmers are competing as neutrals because of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The Russians won the men's 4x100m medley relay from France and the United States. Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte sealed a career fourth women's 50m breaststroke world crown. pst/lb

New Cross: Man arrested on suspicion of murder after fatal stabbing in southeast London

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 26-year-old was stabbed to death in southeast London. Met Police officers were called to reports of a man with stab wounds at an address on Monson Road, New Cross, at 7.30pm on Saturday. The force attended the scene with the London Ambulance Service and medics from the Air Ambulance who provided emergency care. Officers said the 26-year-old man died at the scene, and specialist officers are supporting his family. Scotland Yard said another 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder a short time later. He remains in custody as of Sunday afternoon. Read more from Sky News: Detective Chief Inspector Lucie Card, who is leading the investigation, said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim at this difficult time.

FCA considering compensation scheme over car finance scandal - raising hopes of payouts for motorists

Thousands of motorists who bought cars on finance before 2021 could be set for payouts as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has said it will consult on a compensation scheme. In a statement released on Sunday, the FCA said its review of the past use of motor finance "has shown that many firms were not complying with the law or our disclosure rules that were in force when they sold loans to consumers". "Where consumers have lost out, they should be appropriately compensated in an orderly, consistent and efficient way," the statement continued. The FCA said it estimates the cost of any scheme, including compensation and administrative costs, to be no lower than £9bn - adding that a total cost of £13.5bn is "more plausible". The consultation will be published by early October and any scheme will be finalised in time for people to start receiving compensation next year. The announcement comes after on a separate, but similar, case on Friday. The court overturned a ruling that would have meant millions of motorists could have been due compensation for over "secret" commission payments made to car dealers as part of finance arrangements. Read more: The FCA's case concerns discretionary commission arrangements (DCAs) - a practice banned in 2021. Under these arrangements, brokers and dealers increased the amount of interest they earned without telling buyers and received more commission for it. This is said to have then incentivised sellers to maximise interest rates. In light of the Supreme Court's judgment, any compensation scheme could also cover non-discretionary commission arrangements, the FCA has said. These arrangements are ones where the buyer's interest rate did not impact the dealer's commission. This is because part of the court's ruling "makes clear that non-disclosure of other facts relating to the commission can make the relationship [between a salesperson and buyer] unfair," it said. While it's unclear exactly how many motorists could be eligible for any compensation, it was previously estimated that about 40% of car finance deals included DCAs.
