Black Sabbath Hits The Streaming Charts For The First Time
Ozzy Osbourne's death in July prompted fans around the world to revisit the catalog that helped change rock music forever, and that renewed attention has given Black Sabbath a string of new chart successes. This frame, the band breaks onto two of Billboard's streaming rankings for the first time, which is a rare sight for two different acts that got their start decades ago. Paranoid Debuts on Billboard's Streaming Chart Black Sabbath earns its first appearance on the Top Streaming Albums chart as Paranoid opens at No. 40. The 1970 full-length is a landmark in hard rock history, but it's never ranked among the 50 most-streamed collections in the U.S. until this frame. Its arrival on the streaming-only tally suggests listeners aren't just pressing play on a single cut or two from the set, but rather, that they're consuming the project in full. All that streaming activity helps push Paranoid to six Billboard charts this week, and it reaches new peaks on two of them. 'Paranoid' Hits Streaming Songs for the First Time The title track 'Paranoid' from the album of the same name also earns a first as it debuts at No. 43 on the Streaming Songs chart. The cut is currently featured on more than 10 Billboard tallies. While it launches on just one list this frame, it improves on nearly all of the others, hitting new highs on half a dozen of them. Black Sabbath's Catalog Climbs Following Ozzy Osbourne's Death Streams and sales typically spike in the days after an artist's passing, but Black Sabbath's numbers aren't simply holding, they're growing. Osbourne's solo material is also growing in popularity and rising on the charts, and streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music are playing a huge role in the rediscovery of many of Osbourne's biggest hits and most popular albums. Released in 1970, Paranoid helped define heavy metal, with tracks like 'War Pigs,' 'Iron Man,' and its title cut becoming staples of the genre. More than five decades later, the set is still a classic, and at the moment, it's enjoying quite the renaissance.

Terry Matalas Reveals New ‘Vision Quest' Details
At Saturday's STLV convention, former Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas revealed some Marvel-approved details about his upcoming series, Vision Quest. The sci-fi series reunites him with actors Todd Stashwick and Orla Brady, who respectively played Captain Shaw and Laris/Tallinn in Picard. According to Matalas, Brady will be playing F.R.I.D.A.Y.—Tony Stark's AI assistant previously voiced in the films by Kerry Condon—and Stashwick is Paladin, a mercenary in Marvel Comics. When Stashwick was announced for the show, he was described as an assassin tracking down Paul Bettany's White Vision, who gained sentience at the end of WandaVision. As for a returning Ultron, last seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron and played by James Spader, Matalas teased the character would be used in a 'unique' way. The series' cast also includes Ruaridh Mollica, T'Nia Miller, Faran Tahir, and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H., the Stark-made AI in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Matalas further revealed Vision Quest was full of Star Trek fans, which let them speak in Trek shorthand during production. He compared Vision's journey in the show to Spock's in Star Trek IV, implying the new android will have trouble connecting to his old memories now that he's been reawakened. The panel didn't feature a trailer or photos, but count us intrigued for Vision Quest, which is expected to hit Disney+ sometime in 2026. [via Alex Perry] Want more io9 news?
