Black Sabbath Debuts Several Albums Following The Band’s Final Concert

Black Sabbath said goodbye earlier this month with a farewell concert held in Birmingham, England, the very city where the band helped create the heavy metal genre. The event served as a celebration of everything the iconic group accomplished throughout the decades, and even though the band is no longer active, a quick glance at the charts in that country shows that Black Sabbath is still achieving big things in the United Kingdom.

Two Black Sabbath Albums Debut

Two Black Sabbath projects debut on different rankings in the U.K. this week. The Ultimate Collection arrives at No. 84 on the Official Albums Streaming chart. As that set launches, the compilation earns the band its first placement on the ranking of the most streamed albums in the country.

The group’s self-titled effort also reappears on a different tally, opening at No. 100 on the Official Album Downloads chart.

A New Peak for Black Sabbath’s Album

Black Sabbath returns to the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart at No. 17 at the same time that The Ultimate Collection finally arrives on the downloads tally. That compilation can currently be found on half a dozen rankings. It reenters five of them and even hits a new peak on the Official Album Downloads list, climbing to No. 56.

Several New High Points

The Ultimate Collection is one of three Black Sabbath projects that reach new peaks on the Official Album Downloads chart this frame, and it’s actually the lowest-ranking of the trio. Greatest Hits, a separate release from The Ultimate Collection, reappears at No. 17 in its second stay on the tally. Meanwhile, Paranoid reenters at No. 43, also a new high and also in its second frame on the list.

Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Both Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath manage to break back onto the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, coming in at Nos. 28 and 33, respectively. In total, Black Sabbath fills half a dozen spots on that style-focused ranking, the only list in the U.K. where all of the group’s sets that reemerge following the final show can be found.
