Black Sabbath Hits A Chart For The First Time
Black Sabbath is one of the bestselling rock bands in the history of the United Kingdom, and the group is regarded as a pioneer of the heavier side of music. Recently, the rockers were thrust back into the spotlight as the outfit reformed under its classic lineup for one final show in early July. Tens of thousands of fans watched Ozzy Osbourne and company give it their all one last time, and the charts in the band's home country show just how exciting the event was, and how beloved Black Sabbath still is today.
Several albums by the group return to the charts following the final concert, and the rockers even manage to score a debut placement on one tally.
Black Sabbath Debuts on the Downloads Chart
Black Sabbath appears on this week's edition of the Official Albums Streaming chart, the ranking of the most successful projects on streaming platforms across the U.K. The group debuts at No. 84 with The Ultimate Collection, one of several compilations that currently appear on the musical rankings in the country.
Despite immense popularity, even in the streaming era, Black Sabbath had never before found space on the 100-spot roster until this frame.
Black Sabbath's The Ultimate Collection Hits a New Peak
The Ultimate Collection appears to be one of the biggest winners in Black Sabbath's catalog this frame. As it debuts on the Official Albums Streaming chart, it also returns to five other lists at the same time.
The project largely reenters in lower spots, though it does manage to hit a new peak at No. 56 on the Official Album Downloads tally. The compilation also approaches the top 10 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, coming in at No. 14.
Six Black Sabbath Albums Chart
The Ultimate Collection is one of six different albums by Black Sabbath that can be found on the U.K. charts right now. Several other projects like Paranoid, the group's self-titled release, and Greatest Hits find space on multiple tallies, while Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath only reappear on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart.
All six of Black Sabbath's efforts take up space on that genre-specific ranking, with Paranoid jumping back into the top 10 and landing at No. 5, earning the band its highest placement this week.

I mean for this album releasing this year called "Magic Man 2," I spent one year writing all of them. Converting from personal diaries to music. And the reason for that is because a lot of the songs in the past, which some of them I wrote, some of them you know, it's a lot of people... the team's... the team effort. But I took a year off because... Actually never made a song for myself. I understand all that commercial performance music. But what do I wanna say as a person?

It's just Jackson Wang. And my mom named me Jackson because she was a fan of Michael Jackson. And she wished, you know, her kid could dance and sing like him. "What is Jackson Wang's first language?" I don't have one, I don't know. Maybe Cantonese? I speak a lot but I'm not fluent in any of it. Mandarin, Chinese, Cantonese, Korean, English. I think I could just... [board smashing] Hey, I'm sorry. Am I supposed to do that? [board clacking] Hey, thank you, thank you. "When did Jackson Wang debut? Hey, easy. 2014, January 16th. "When did Jackson Wang become a trainee?" That was 2011, July 3rd.

Which honest, honestly-speaking, I was lucky. 'Cause I was just playing basketball after exam. And you're supposed to go home after exam. But I stayed. And whoever that was playing basketball with me... They weren't as good-looking as me. So thank god they were there. You know, you got no choice. But I was the only one. Literally, only three people on the court. So I'm thankful to them to this day. "When did Jackson Wang... [label peeling] "go solo?" I don't remember. I think I was 23. I didn't go out.

I also wanna go to India, Indonesia. Also Africa if I can. You know some cities we're really crazy, where you can feel the crowd that they're ready to die with you. You know like, and they're partying. And they're not even shooting. They're not even holding on to their phones. They're not even shooting videos. They're just there to party and to have a good time.

[label peeling] "Jackson Wang red bracelet?" Oh, this one? So in Chinese culture, if your sign is matching with the current year. So if this year is that Year of the dog, and if my sign is dog, too. There's a saying that you gotta be careful that year. Either you're gonna be super-successful, or you're gonna G.G. Like you're gonna die. Like you're gonna fail. Like some shit is gonna happen to you. So in order to prevent that, your parents need to give you a red bracelet to protect you. And we gotta wear red underwear, whatever. Just red.

Prince George and Charlotte Looking Like 'Alcaraz Warriors' Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Prince George and Princess Charlotte, looking disappointed at the outcome of the Wimbledon tennis final, went viral on TikTok. George and Charlotte joined their parents, Princess Kate and Prince William, to watch Carlos Alcaraz take on Jannik Sinner in the men's singles final. Alcaraz lost in four sets, and royal watchers joked that it looked like George and Charlotte were upset at the outcome based on their body language on center court and during the post-match meet-and-greet. It is, of course, entirely possible that they were simply wilting in the heat, as Charlotte was seen fanning herself during the match and George was wearing a suit jacket and tie. Prince George and Princess Charlotte watch Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, on July 13, 2025. Prince George and Princess Charlotte watch Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, on July 13, 2025. Karwai Tang/WireImage Why It Matters Prince Louis is usually the royal who generates viral social media content at public events, but George's body language in particular sparked a flurry of light-hearted jokes and memes. One video of the brother and sister posted on X that was viewed 5.7 million times and liked 14,000 times, included the message: "This is sending me they are not even hiding it." The clip was then quoted in another post, which read: "The royal children being Alcaraz warriors is frying me." That post was in turn viewed 2.6 million times and liked 57,000 times. What To Know The clip begins with footage of George and Charlotte standing by their seats on Center Court, before cutting to a later clip of the royal siblings with their mother and Sinner after the game. "It was a fantastic thing to watch for us and seriously inspiring," Kate told the new Wimbledon champion. George, who turns 12 next week, and Charlotte, 10, may not have seemed their usual, smiling, animated selves, but it was also a hot day with temperatures in the high 20s Celsius (high 70s, low 80s Fahrenheit). A certain amount of debate around the royals is perhaps inevitable.

HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Getty Images What People Are Saying The numerous responses to the viral X posts were all in the name of light-hearted humor. One X user joked: "[George] must have put money on alcaraz 😭😭😭😭 half the royal savings down the drain." Another X user posted: "OMG! I love it. Alcarez Warrior Myself." A third X user posted: "they were heatedd." What Happens Next Fans of the royals can look forward to a new photo of George, which Kate and William will likely release on Tuesday to mark their son's 12th birthday.

Jeff Lynne Charts A New Solo Hit As ELO Comes To A Sad Ending
Five ELO albums and one Jeff Lynne solo effort hit the U.K. charts as fans mark the band's canceled ... More final show, with "Mr. Blue Sky" also making a comeback. Boston, MA - September 23: The band's illuminated logo shown during the Jeff Lynne's ELO "The Over and Out Tour" at TD Garden. (Photo by Kayla Bartkowski/The Boston Globe via Getty Images) Electric Light Orchestra, otherwise known as ELO or Jeff Lynne's ELO, was set to perform its final show this past Sunday, July 13. Sadly, the concert was canceled, as the rocker is reportedly battling a systemic infection, and doctors told him he could not go on. Fans must be heartbroken, as the statement also made clear that there would be no makeup date for the group. Those who love the hitmaking act will not have a chance to see the musicians play live together one more time, as the end has come for the band. In anticipation of what was supposed to be one of the most exciting concerts of the year, fans across the United Kingdom spent the past few weeks consuming many of ELO's albums and compilations, and even one of Lynne's own solo projects. This week's charts show just how beloved the group still is. Five ELO Albums Return to the Charts Five albums by ELO appear on at least one chart apiece in the U.K. this week. All of them live on the Official Album Downloads list, as it appears that many longtime lovers of the group wanted to own the group's albums and compilations, and wanted to do so quickly. All five projects have to reenter every tally on which they appear, including the downloads list, as they hadn't been present before anticipation of the act's final show reached a fever pitch. Two ELO Compilations Hit New Peaks Two ELO projects — All Over the World: The Very Best of ELO and The Essential: Electric Light Orchestra — don't just break back onto the Official Album Downloads chart, they hit new high points. The former stalls one spot away from running the show, while The Essential comes in at No. 20. Jeff Lynne Scores a Solo Win Lynne earns a new solo success alongside ELO's many comebacks. The rock musician's Long Wave arrives on the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 25. The title's debut in between several of ELO's compilations earns Lynne his first appearance on the tally. "Mr. Blue Sky" Mounts a Comeback Just one smash hit by ELO appears on any chart in the U.K. this week. "Mr. Blue Sky," which remains a fan favorite, returns to the Official Singles Downloads list at No. 59 and the Official Singles Sales tally at No. 63. The cut hits a new loftiest placement on the general sales roster as it returns.
