Black Sabbath's Famed Album Reaches A New Peak Weeks After Ozzy Osbourne's Death
Almost exactly a month ago, the world lost one of the most important rock musicians of all time. Ozzy Osbourne died in mid-July at the age of 76, just eight weeks after performing his final show both as a solo star and with Black Sabbath. In the days and weeks following his passing, both of those musical acts appeared across charts all around the globe as sales and streams of the biggest hits and albums soared. As is the case whenever such a spike occurs, there's always a decline, and for the most part, Osbourne and Black Sabbath's catalogs have resettled — although the group manages to climb once more on a handful of Billboard rankings in the United States, as the outfit's most celebrated full-length pushes to impressive new positions. Paranoid Hits New Peaks on Several Billboard Charts Paranoid manages to lift on two Billboard lists in the U.S. Perhaps most impressively, the Black Sabbath favorite jumps from No. 20 to No. 9 on the Vinyl Albums chart. As it leaps, Paranoid gives Black Sabbath its fourth appearance inside the highest tier on that ranking. Live at Hammersmith Odeon, 13 and Black Sabbath Prior to the ascent of Paranoid, Black Sabbath had cracked the top 10 on the Vinyl Albums chart three times. The band first broke into the tier in 2011 with Live at Hammersmith Odeon, which peaked at No. 8. Two years later, 13 almost gave Black Sabbath its inaugural No. 1, but the full-length stalled in the runner-up space. The group's self-titled effort reached an all-time high of No. 6 last summer. Sales of Paranoid Grow by 85% Purchases of Paranoid exploded recently, which help the title vault up the Top Album Sales chart. This frame, Black Sabbath jumps from No. 32 to No. 14, thanks to a little more than 5,400 purchases of the decades-old set, Luminate reports. That figure grows by nearly 85% frame-over-frame. Black Sabbath's Classic Falls on Several Tallies Black Sabbath only claims one charting album at the moment in America, and as Paranoid steps up on the aforementioned two purchase-centric rankings, it declines on several other tallies. Paranoid falls on the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, and it dips a single spot on the Billboard 200. Black Sabbath manages to hold at No. 5 on the Top Hard Rock Albums roster. 'Paranoid' the Hit Single also Lives on Billboard's Charts 'Paranoid' – the single – is also the only Black Sabbath winner present on the Billboard lists at the moment, although recently, the group surged with multiple classics and even scored several new hits on a variety of lists. 'Paranoid' drops from No. 5 to No. 14 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart and also tumbles by several dozen spots on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excluding U.S.

Joe opened up about the moment on the NowThis series 'Are You Okay?' — and exclaimed the experience was worth it NEED TO KNOW Joe Jonas appeared on the latest episode of the NowThis series Are You Okay? He opened up about joining the mile high club The "Cake by the Ocean" performer is currently on the JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour The mile high club includes Joe Jonas. In an interview for the NowThis series Are You Okay?, the 36-year-old Jonas Brothers member revealed he once got busy with a partner in an airplane bathroom — and it immediately led to an awkward moment. "I joined the mile high club a couple years ago. I was wearing contacts, left the bathroom," said Joe in the video, filmed in New York City. "I thought I was high-fiving my drummer — it was the flight attendant." However, it could've been worse. "It was a private flight, or I would be banned from flying," he noted. Was the experience worth it? "Yeah," he declared with a smirk. Joe likely wouldn't make the same mistake again, as he's publicly spoken about undergoing EVO Visian ICL surgery to improve his eyesight. "I've been performing and touring ever since I was 15 years old with my brothers, and after long days and nights, I wished I didn't have to worry about accidentally sleeping with my contacts in or keeping track of where I put my glasses, and to simply be able to wake up and see clearly," he said in a statement to Brinton Vision. The surgery was "easy" for the "Cake by the Ocean" performer, who noted having "sharp, clear vision day or night" after the procedure. Elsewhere in the Are You Okay? video, Joe spoke about a recurring experience that leaves him feeling humbled without fail. "It happens quite often," he said. "Somebody will be like, 'Can I take a picture with you?' And then they'll hand me the camera, and they want to take a picture with Nick." Joe, Nick and Kevin are currently in the midst of the JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour, and the siblings' next show is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 19 at the Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater in Syracuse, N.Y. Throughout the tour, the Jonas Brothers have brought out surprise guests including Demi Lovato, Switchfoot, Jesse McCartney, Dean Lewis, All Time Low, the Click Five, Hanson, Cartel and Hoobastank. In an interview with PEOPLE ahead of the tour, Joe noted the band "wanted to bring a show for the audience that they felt like was something different from what they've experienced before."
