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.

Black Sabbath's Hits Return To The Charts After More Than A Decade
Black Sabbath reunites for a final concert in Birmingham, U.K., sparking chart returns for hit songs ... More like "War Pigs," "Iron Man," and "Paranoid." LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 24: Ozzy Osbourne of Black Sabbath performs at Ozzfest 2016 at San Manuel Amphitheater on September 24, 2016 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor ABA) Earlier this month, Black Sabbath reformed in its classic lineup to perform what was billed as the band's final concert. The aging rock outfit — credited as one of the inventors of heavy metal — played to tens of thousands of fans in Birmingham, England, where the group got its start. The show wasn't just a farewell performance for Black Sabbath, but likely for Ozzy Osbourne as well. Fans across the United Kingdom have loved Osbourne and the legendary band for decades, so this moment is bittersweet, as the group says goodbye. Several famous Black Sabbath tunes return to the charts as consumption of the band's entire catalog rises in something of a tribute. Black Sabbath Scores Multiple Rock Hits Black Sabbath fills three spaces on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart this week. Both "War Pigs" and "Iron Man" return to the tally, coming in at Nos. 26 and 33, respectively. Those two tracks have spent about two months on the list and have previously broken into the top 10. More Than a Decade Away Neither "War Pigs" nor "Iron Man" has appeared on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart for at least a decade. "Iron Man" debuted in May 2010 and last landed on the list in June 2012. "War Pigs," meanwhile, launched in March 2014 and ran for half a dozen frames before disappearing, and it hasn't been seen since. Only a Few Black Sabbath Songs Have Charted in the U.K. Despite being one of the most famous rock acts in U.K. history, Black Sabbath has only ever sent five songs to the Official Rock and Metal Singles tally. Two of those are versions of "Paranoid," so really, the count is just four different compositions. Speaking of "Paranoid," that cut can also be found on the genre-specific ranking as it advances from No. 14 to No. 5. That marks a new peak for one take on the Black Sabbath classic, though the original version previously rose as high as No. 3. Fans Revisit the Band's Full-Lengths When it comes to U.K. fans listening to Black Sabbath, it's clear the focus isn't on one track or another, but rather the band's albums. Half a dozen full-lengths appear on at least one chart across the Atlantic, with several debuting or rising to new peak positions. A handful of the studio efforts are present on multiple tallies at the same time.

Kelly Osbourne confirms Ozzy Osbourne isn't dying
Kelly Osbourne has insisted Ozzy Osbourne is "not dying". The 40-year-old star has blasted claims circulating online about her father's health, in particular taking aim at an AI-generated video purporting to be the Paranoid rocker talking about his mortality. She said in a video shared to her Instagram Story: "So, there's this video going around on social media, and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI. "And it has a voice like my dad's David Attenborough or something. And it starts out saying, 'I don't need a doctor to tell me that I'm going to die. I know I'm going to die.' "What the f*** is wrong with you people? Why would you spend your time making a video like this? "He's not dying. Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be, but he's not dying. What is wrong with you?" Kelly then shared the video, which referred to a suicide pact that Ozzy's wife Sharon Osbourne previously claimed they had should either of them be close to death. She said in another video: "Stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact. That was bulls*** my mom said to get attention one time. "And my dad's not dying. Stop." Ozzy has undergone seven surgeries in the past five years and he has also been living with Parkinson's disease since 2003. Last weekend, he performed at his star-studded farewell concert in Birmingham. The 76-year-old rocker was joined onstage at Birmingham's Villa Park by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005, as he prepared to say goodbye to performing live. The stadium erupted into huge cheers when Ozzy appeared on stage and he told fans: "You have no idea how I feel." Some 42,000 fans packed into Villa Park for the sold-out Back to the Beginning show, which saw Ozzy and Black Sabbath return to their hometown, 56 years after the band was formed in the city. He told the crowd: "It's so good to be on this f****** stage. Let the madness begin! You've got no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Ozzy performed a selection of hits including I Don't Know, Blizzard of Ozz and Suicide Solution. Anthrax, Guns N' Roses and Metallica all performed during the 10-hour concert, while there were also surprise video messages from the likes of Dolly Parton and Jack Black.
