Post Malone Charts A New Global Hit... For A Very Sad Reason

Ozzy Osbourne's music has invaded charts all around the world since his passing in July. He has posthumously reached new highs, dominated tallies, and scored hits both on his own as well as with Black Sabbath.
Some of his tunes credit other artists who reach the weekly rankings alongside the late great musician. One such star is Post Malone, who collects a new worldwide smash and big wins on several genre-specific tallies in America thanks to his one collaboration with the Prince of Darkness.
'Take What You Want' Becomes a New Global Wins
Malone recruited both Osbourne and Travis Scott for his song 'Take What You Want,' which was released more than half a decade ago. The collaboration opens at No. 10 on the Hot Alternative Songs ranking and No. 16 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs list. The tune narrowly reaches the worldwide all-genre tally, the Billboard Global 200, where it begins its time at No. 192.
Ozzy Osbourne Scores His First Alternative Chart Hit
Osbourne is brand new to the Hot Alternative Songs chart, as 'Take What You Want' posthumously delivers him not only his first top 10, but also his first appearance on the roster. He has now reached the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs tally a lucky 13 times. The multi-artist collaboration marks just his fourth placement under his own name on the global list.
Travis Scott Earns His Rock and Alternative Debut
Scott is the newcomer in this mix. While he is one of the most successful names in hip-hop history, the rapper lands on both of the rock and alternative rankings for the very first time, thanks to Osbourne's popularity and the desire for his millions of fans to consume everything with his name on it.
'Take What You Want' Gains Everywhere
At the same time that 'Take What You Want' debuts on three tallies, it also reappears on two other homegrown rankings. The cut bolts from No. 8 to No. 3 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart and reenters the Alternative Streaming Songs tally at No. 14.
Post Malone's Hollywood's Bleeding
Malone included 'Take What You Want' on Hollywood's Bleeding, his third full-length. That project blended hip-hop, pop, and even elements of rock and alternative music, with the latter two being somewhat new to the musician. The track was officially pushed as a single about a month after the album arrived, by which time it had already peaked at No. 8 on the Hot 100, giving Osbourne his most recent top 10 on that tally.
