Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath Classics Re-Enter The Billboard Canadian Charts After the Rock Icon's Death

“Mama, I’m Coming Home” debuts at No. 39, while “Crazy Train” arrives a few spots down, at No. 45. Both tracks are charting lower on the Billboard Hot 100, at No. 49 and No. 46, respectively. “Mama, I’m Coming Home” re-entered the Hot 100 after Osbourne’s death, while “Crazy Train” is a new addition.

According to Billboard, older songs are eligible to appear on the Hot 100 and genre-specific song charts if they sit in the top half of a ranking and there’s a meaningful reason for their return — the same rules apply for the Canadian Hot 100.

Released on his sixth solo album, 1992’s

No More Tears, the classic power ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home” didn’t hit the charts upon its release but remains one of his top-streaming songs. Arguably, Osbourne’s signature solo track is “Crazy Train” off the rock icon’s 1980 debut solo album, Blizzard of Ozz.

  

 

On the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, Osbourne notches two debut entries. Compilation album, The Essential Ozzy Osbourne, enters the Top 10 at No. 8, while Black Sabbath’s 1970 classic Paranoid arrives at No. 35. Both albums previously charted on the Billboard 200, and are currently sitting at No. 7 and No. 37, respectively.

Osbourne’s solo work isn’t a stranger to the Canadian Albums chart, which debuted in 2015. Six of his projects have cracked the Top 10, with his 2022 album, Patient Number 9, peaking at No. 1 for one week. As for Black Sabbath, two albums have boasted Top 10 placements — their 2013 album, aptly titled 13, peaked at the top for seven days after its release.

  

 

Tyler, The Creator is also making a splash with his surprise new album.

After a handful of Canadian shows and an upcoming headliner slot at Montreal’s Osheaga music festival on August 2, the newest album from the L.A. rapper, Don’t Tap The Glass, debuts with nine songs on the Canadian Hot 100. While the album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, it fell short on the Canadian Albums chart, arriving at No. 6.

Almost the entire 10-track album is charting, including top-streaming songs “Big Poe,” featuring Sk8brd, “Sugar On My Tongue,” and “Stop Playing With Me.”

  

 

Though he said he was coming for No. 1, Drake's “What Did I Miss?” — which peaked at No. 2 a mere two weeks ago — moves down 20 spots to No. 27, while “Nokia” comes in at No. 42. Justin Bieber’s track “Yukon,” which has become heavily covered by Canadian artists sits at No. 26. Tate McRae’s "Sports Car" is at No. 25 while her F1 soundtrack song "Just Keep Watching" rises 30-27.

Tate McRae has three charting songs with "Sports Car" at No. 17, "Just Keep Watching" at No. 24 and "Revolving Door" at No. 66. Cameron Whitcomb's "Quitter" spends its 40th week on the chart, staying firm at No. 40.

Karan Aujla & Ikky's "At Peace" stays on the chart at No. 47 after debuting last week in the top 10. Hot on the heels of his first two Toronto shows, The Weeknd's "São Paulo," featuring Anitta, re-enters the chart at No. 90. Country singer Josh Ross's collab with Akon, "Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na)" moves down from 67-70. bbno$ track "Check" goes down 91-97.

At the top of the charts, Alex Warren coasts at No. 1 with "Ordinary," while “Daisies” by Justin Bieber sits at No. 2 for the second week. Towards the bottom of the Top 10, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” rises 14-7, Benson Boone climbs one spot to No. 8 with “Beautiful Things,” and Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's collab “I Had Some Help” cracks the Top 10 again, hitting No. 9.

On the Canadian Albums chart, Morgan Wallen reclaims the No. 1 with I’m The Problem, after being briefly dethroned by Justin Bieber’s Swag.
