John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English singer, songwriter, actor and television personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which he adopted the nickname "The Prince of Darkness".
Osbourne was fired from the band in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing eleven studio albums, the first seven of which were all awarded multi-platinum certifications in the United States. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions.
It’s shaping up to be a huge week for Robbie Williams, whose 13th studio album XXV is currently outselling the rest of the Top 10 combined as it heads for Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart.
The newest greatest hits compilation from the Stoke-born superstar, XXV contains some of Robbie’s best-loved hits, newly-orchestrated and recorded with the Metropole Orkest.
XXV would become Robbie’s 14th Number 1 album in the UK as a solo artist. Living legend Ozzy Osbourne could gain his highest-ever charting solo album in the UK this week with Patient Number 9 currently tracking to debut at Number 2.
His personal best to date is 2020’s Ordinary Man which peaked at Number 3. Welsh rockers Manic Street Preachers are also on the lookout for a Top 5 entry with the re-issue of their 2001 record Know Your Enemy (3), which peaked at Number 2 upon its original release.
