Ozzy Osbourne’s chart run in his home country of the United Kingdom has been nothing short of historic since his passing in July. As both a soloist and a member of Black Sabbath, he’s reached new peaks, collected major wins on the albums rankings, and watched some of his most successful songs climb to never-before-seen high points or debut on tallies they’d never touched before. Weeks after his death, listeners in the rocker’s home country still haven’t moved on, and they continue to send Osbourne classics to charts that, in many cases, have never hosted them.

“Crazy Train” Becomes a Streaming Smash

Four of Osbourne’s solo cuts debut in the U.K. this frame. Three appear on just one ranking, while another, “Crazy Train,” surges to new highs on several lists, finds a new home on another, and becomes a milestone hit for the late rocker.

“Crazy Train” arrives on the Official Streaming chart at No. 49, making it one of the 50 most-played songs of any style or language in the U.K. Osbourne earns just his second career hit as a soloist on that list, following his 2019 debut with Post Malone and Travis Scott on “Take What You Want.” That track is also back this week, returning to both the Official Single Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts simultaneously.

“Crazy Train” Jumps on Several Charts

As it opens on the streaming-only tally, “Crazy Train” leaps on several other rankings. The track breaks into the top 10 for the first time on the Official Singles Downloads chart, improving from No. 13 to No. 9. On the Official Single Sales roster, it comes close to that tier, moving from No. 14 to No. 11. The smash also climbs to a new high point on the main songs tally, pushing north to No. 25, while holding at its all-time best of No. 3 on the Official Rock & Metal Singles list.

“Bark at the Moon” and “Mr. Crowley” Debut

Two more Osbourne favorites, “Bark at the Moon” and “Mr. Crowley,” make their first appearances on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, entering at Nos. 27 and 38, respectively. As they arrive, Osbourne as a soloist has now placed a milestone 10 tracks on the list of the bestselling rock songs in the country.

Ozzy Osbourne Owns More Than 10% of One Chart

This week, Osbourne occupies more than 12% of the entire Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, and that number doesn’t take into account Black Sabbath’s current wins. “Mr. Crowley” and “Bark at the Moon” are joined by “Crazy Train” at No. 3, while “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and “No More Tears” rise to new peaks of Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.

“Hellraiser” Returns to Physical Singles Chart

Another classic, “Hellraiser,” barely manages to reach the Official Physical Singles chart for the first time. The 100-spot tally welcomes the tune at No. 100. Osbourne has now scored eight hits on the list of the top-selling physical singles in the U.K., and he returns posthumously for the first time in 14 years. His previous most recent debut came in April 2011 with “Flying High Again.”
