It’s been less than a year since Ozzy Osbourne passed away in the summer of 2025, and even months after the tragic event, tributes continue to pour in. Osbourne will forever be remembered as not just one of the most commercially successful names in rock music, but a father of heavy metal. He changed the sound of what was popular in rock, both as a founding member of Black Sabbath and throughout his decades-long, fruitful solo career.
Fellow hard rock outfit Black Label Society scores a new top 10 smash on multiple Billboard charts by honoring Osbourne and even leveraging the sustained popularity of his name to score a hit.
Black Label Society’s “Ozzy’s Song,” an obvious tribute to the late great superstar, opens inside the top 10 on two of the three Billboard-published rosters on which it appears this week. The track starts at No. 3 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, and lower – but still inside the top 10 – on the Rock Digital Song Sales list, where it begins its time at No. 9.
“Ozzy’s Song” also manages to reach the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, a general consumption rundown that focuses on the harder side of rock. On that list, however, Black Label Society enters at No. 20, missing the top 10.
“Ozzy’s Song” earns the second-loftiest debut of the week on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, and in another frame, Black Label Society may have made a real play for the No. 1 space. Korn’s “Blind,” a decades-old track that has suddenly become popular again thanks to an athlete using it as his walkout tune, enters the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales tally at No. 2. That cut comes in behind only “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC, which surges back to the summit.
Things are more competitive on the Rock Digital Song Sales ranking, where “Ozzy’s Song” is the fourth-loftiest entry. Korn’s “Blind” is new at No. 6, while the tally is dominated by Muna’s “Big Stick,” which launches at No. 1. Rock and roll legend Paul McCartney earns yet another career top 10 smash as “Days We Left Behind” – the first official single from his forthcoming nineteenth solo album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane – kicks off its run at No. 7.
Despite its incredible popularity right out of the gate, “Ozzy’s Song” has not been pushed as a single from Black Label Society’s new album, Engines of Demolition, at least not yet. Instead, “Name in Blood,” the fourth and most recent single, which dropped in mid-January, appears on two tallies.
“Name in Blood” climbs to a new peak of No. 21 on the Mainstream Rock Airplay rundown. At the same time, it appears on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, joining “Ozzy’s Song,” and landing on the list for only the second time. “Name in Blood” originally launched and peaked at No. 22, two spaces beneath where “Ozzy’s Song” debuts this time around.
Engines of Demolition, the parent album including both “Ozzy’s Song” and “Name in Blood,” earns a notable beginning on multiple rankings in the U.S. The set launches atop the Top Hard Rock Albums chart and also manages a top 10 beginning on the Top Rock Albums, Top Rock and Alternative Albums, and Top Album Sales lists, opening at Nos. 3, 4 and 5, respectively.

Engines of Demolition performs well enough on wax to hit No. 16 on the Vinyl Albums chart. It also manages a top 40 entry on the Billboard 200, the chart company’s namesake rundown of the most-consumed albums and EPs, as the latest from Black Label Society finds its way onto that competitive register at No. 31.
