Black Sabbath Beats Its Own Record Four Times Over
As sales and streams of both Osbourne's solo material and Black Sabbath's catalog surged, fans sent a number of popular tracks and bestselling albums back to rankings all around the world, especially in the United States. The outfit's success – and Osbourne's popularity – is perhaps best seen by taking a look at the Rock Digital Song Sales chart.
Black Sabbath Scores Multiple Bestsellers
Black Sabbath currently fills four spaces on Billboard's Rock Digital Song Sales chart, which lists the top-selling tunes within the U.S. classified by the magazine as rock. All four tracks — "Paranoid," "Iron Man," "War Pigs/Luke's Wall," and "Changes" — debut simultaneously. Coincidentally, they land one right after another, opening at Nos. 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively.
Black Sabbath Sets a New High
Before this frame, Black Sabbath had only reached the Rock Digital Song Sales chart once. More than a decade ago, "God Is Dead?" climbed as high as No. 20. Now, the band not only secures a new career peak, but does so by placing four tracks ahead of what was previously its greatest success on this tally.
Ozzy Osbourne Outshines Black Sabbath With Nine Solo Hits
While Black Sabbath occupies more than one-quarter of all available slots on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, Osbourne performs even better as a solo act. He posthumously claims nine of the 15 spaces on the list, including the highest-ranking title.
Seven of these tunes — "No More Tears," "Changes," "Close My Eyes Forever" (with Lita Ford), "Dreamer," "Shot in the Dark," "Mr. Crowley," and "See You on the Other Side" — debut this frame. Meanwhile, fan favorites "Mama, I'm Coming Home" and "Crazy Train" earn another stay on the ranking.

MGK Says His Haters Are Just ‘Conformists' Who Pretend to Dislike Him to ‘Fit In'
MGK pays no mind to the people who would gladly purchase tickets to his downfall, as the musician born Colson Baker — and formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly — has revealed that he thinks his haters are merely 'conformists' who can't think for themselves. In an interview with People published Wednesday (Aug. 6) ahead of his new album Lost Americana, MGK opened up about why he isn't bothered by his critics. 'The hate for me has become so pop culture that it's almost like that's automatically what you say to fit in,' he told the publication.

'I've let it go completely to where I'm like, 'Oh, that's a joke.' I've realized they're the conformists — you don't even hate me for a reason that you can actually think of, because all I do is entertain, and entertainment can't be that serious.' The rapper-turned-rocker went on to note that most of the hate he gets comes from men. 'I think men let their insecurity rule their entirety,' he mused. 'I think to them, they're like, 'He's supposed to be like this, because this is this carnal, archaic way of what men are …' I'm like, 'Look, we can be protectors and all these other things that we're supposed to be, and also be expressive and vulnerable and emotional, and we can dress how we want, look how we want.'' The interview comes just two days before Lost Americana is set to arrive, with MGK appearing to embrace a rootsier musical sound on the LP after previously cutting his teeth on rap music before pivoting to punk rock on albums Tickets to My Downfall and Mainstream Sellout. To promote the record, the Cleveland-bred musician enlisted one of Americana's biggest heroes, Bob Dylan, to narrate a trailer that dropped in June. At the time, it was unclear whether it was actually Dylan's voice in MGK's video — but on a recent late-night appearance, the latter confirmed that it was authentic. 'To be honest, I have no idea how he even knows who I am to this day,' MGK said on The Tonight Show on Monday (Aug. 4). 'Something's going on in the stars where, like, good things keep happening … I don't know how it keeps happening.' MGK's experimentation with various genres over the course of his career is one of several reasons why he thinks certain people hate him without actual cause. But as he said to People, he just doesn't care: 'I became so hated for, what has become apparent to me, no reason … just because I artistically express myself, through fashion, music, whatever.' He added, 'I choose to not stay contained into a societal box.'

A$AP Rocky's adding to his acting lore, as he's set to star alongside Rose Byrne in A24's If I Had Legs I'd Kick You movie. The Mary Bronstein-directed dramedy released a trailer on Wednesday (Aug. 6), which finds Byrne playing a mother, who works as a psychotherapist, in the midst of crashing out. Conan O'Brien, Christian Slater and Danielle Macdonald are among those filling out the cast. 'With her life literally crashing down around her, Linda attempts to navigate her child's mysterious illness, her absent husband, a missing person and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist,' reads a logline for the film.

A$AP Rocky Teases New Song at Cannes During 'Highest 2 Lowest' Premiere As for Rocky, he's in the role of a character named James, who appears to be a neighbor who might know a little too much and is looking for a partner-in-crime to get into some mischievous activities. 'Yo, crazy pants, I was gonna partake in surfing the web for some things that I'm into,' the rapper deviously says in the clip. If I Had Legs I'd Kick You is slated to hit theaters on Oct. 10. The movie was the darling of Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered, and Rose Byrne won the Silver Bear for best lead performance at the Berlin Film Festival. Prior to the A24 flick's arrival, the Harlem rapper-actor is set to star in Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest alongside Denzel Washington, which will be released in theaters on Aug. 22 and will land on Apple TV+ on Sept. 5. Rocky has a pair of songs ('Trunks,' 'Both Eyes Closed') slated to appear on the Highest 2 Lowest soundtrack dropping on Aug. 15. Lee previously raved about Rocky's acting, saying he held his own with Denzel on set. 'Yeah, don't sleep on A$AP. In this film, Denzel and A$AP go toe-to-toe,' Spike teased on The Tonight Show. 'What's interesting is, even before I got involved with this film, I always thought that A$AP looked like he could be Denzel's son. There's a big resemblance. So when you see it on the screen, it adds an element of father and son.' Watch the If I Had Legs I'd Kick You trailer below.

Jussie Smollett, Jessie James Decker & More Will Be Put to the Test on ‘Special Forces' Season 4
Jussie Smollett and Jessie James Decker both have what it takes to make the Billboard charts, but do they have the fortitude to pass some of the most difficult tasks that some members of the military face during training? Fans will get a chance to find out, as the musicians are joining season four of Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. 'It was at this moment I said… 'I should've just done The Masked Singer,'' Smollett joked in his Instagram post sharing the news of his casting. More from Billboard Homeland Security Tweets 'South Park' Image as ICE Recruitment Tool Ice-T Will Host 'Fame and Fentanyl' Documentary Examining National Epidemic: 'Everyone Knows Someone' Watch Eminem's Hilarious Outtakes From 'Happy Gilmore 2': 'Put Some Respect on My Name, B—h' The network announced the latest batch of celebrity contestants for the competition show on Wednesday (Aug. 6). In addition to the former Empire star, whose conviction for allegedly staging a racist and homophobic attack on himself was overturned in 2024, and the country singer, who finished in 10th place on season 31 of Dancing With the Stars, a host of reality TV stars as well as athletes and other personalities will put their abilities to the test, this time in Morocco and led by a team of ex-special forces members. Among the 18 contestants are Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia, whose split from country star Zach Bryan in 2024 made headlines; Vanderpump Rules and The Valley's Brittany Cartwright; Sister Wives star Kody Brown; Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East; present and former NFL players Randall Cobb, Eric Decker (who is married to Jessie James Decker), Andrew East (married to Shawn Johnson East) and Johnny Manziel; soccer star Christie Pearce Rampone; model Chanel Iman and more. Smollett and Jessie James Decker aren't the first musicians to attempt Special Forces. Spice Girl Mel B, country singer Beverley Mitchell and Jamie Lynn Spears all competed in season one. Season two saw JoJo Siwa and Vanderpump Rules star and Most Extras cover band frontman Tom Sandoval attempt the course. The third season did not feature any musicians. None of the musician contestants passed the Special Forces training course. Season four is set to kick off on Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. on Fox. It will also stream the next day on Hulu.
