Here Are Black Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne’s Biggest Hit Albums on the Billboard 200 Chart

Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne (long the band’s famed frontman) have a heavy (metal) legacy of hit albums on the Billboard 200 chart, dating to when the group notched its first chart entry with its self-titled debut in 1970. Through the years, the band, and Osbourne with solo projects, has rocked the chart with a series of high-charting albums.

The band logged a series of top 40-charting efforts over the decades, first reaching the top 10 in 1971 with Master of Reality, which climbed to No. 8. The group last hit the chart with the reunion project 13, released in 2013, which marked the group’s second top 10, and first No. 1.

Osbourne himself as a soloist has claimed nine top 10-charting sets on the Billboard 200, including at least one in every decade from the 1980s through the 2020s. He most recently hit the top 10 with the No. 3-peaking Patient Number 9 in 2022. Along the way, Osbourne also claimed a pair of top 10 charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with his Lita Ford duet “Close My Eyes Forever” (No. 8 in 1989) and his featured turn, alongside Travis Scott, on Post Malone’s “Take What You Want” (No. 8 in 2019).

Below is a combined top 10 ranking of both Black Sabbath and Osbourne’s biggest albums on the Billboard 200 chart. The ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard 200 through the July 5, 2025, chart. Titles are ranked on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 200 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.
