The back catalogue of Ozzy Osbourne and his band Black Sabbath has surged in the 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.
Osborne, 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.
