Black Sabbath Sends Several Career-Making Hits To Important New Peaks

Black Sabbath Sends Several Career-Making Hits To Important New Peaks

Forbes10 hours ago
In the United Kingdom, the Official Charts Company caps every musical act at three spots on the Official Singles chart — the all-consumption ranking of the most popular songs in the country — at one time. Following the death of Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath easily hits that limit with three of its most recognizable cuts. All of them climb this frame, and two earn new personal bests as millions mourn his passing.
'War Pigs' and 'Iron Man' Reach New Peaks
Both 'War Pigs' and 'Iron Man' debuted on the Official Singles chart last week, and now they're moving north. 'War Pigs' rises from No. 79 to No. 47, while 'Iron Man' pushes from No. 93 to No. 48. Those positions now stand as the highest either track has reached on the main songs tally.
Black Sabbath's Bestsellers
Pure purchases are largely fueling the ascent of both 'War Pigs' and 'Iron Man,' as the pair also finds room on the Official Single Sales chart and Official Singles Downloads rosters across the pond. On those sales-focused lists, 'War Pigs' lives inside the top 40, dipping only a few spaces from where it started last frame, while 'Iron Man' sits around the middle of the 100-spot rosters.
'Paranoid' Is Black Sabbath's Top Performer
Black Sabbath's top performer on the Official Singles chart at the moment is 'Paranoid,' which jumps 12 spaces to No. 22. Several versions of the cut have appeared on the list throughout the decades, according to the Official Charts Company.
The one on the tally now can't match the original's success, as in the summer of 1970, 'Paranoid' debuted and climbed to No. 4. It remains the band's only top 10 and its longest-charting single, with 18 weeks spent on the tally.
The updated 'Paranoid' is also gaining on streaming platforms. On the Official Streaming chart, the cut leaps from No. 67 — where it launched last frame — to No. 26. It also lives on the Official Single Sales and Official Singles Downloads rankings at the same time, as it's the group's biggest win right now.
Fans Revisit Catalog After Osbourne's Death
Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, just weeks after Black Sabbath's farewell concert in Birmingham, England. The band's updated presence on the charts in the U.K. reflect an outpouring of support from fans revisiting the catalog. Impressively, the group's fates on the weekly lists have continued to improve, instead of peaking the frame following the singer's passing.

Prince William's Team Reportedly Made Demands for His Upcoming Reunion With Prince Harry To Prove His 'Hierarchy'

Prince William and Prince Harry are reportedly preparing to cross paths at their cousin's upcoming wedding and are putting plans in place to avoid any interactions. Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne, announced to Hello that he is engaged to partner Harriet Sperling. While wedding plans were not revealed, sources are already speculating about what this could mean for estranged members of the Royal Family, namely Prince Harry and Prince William. More from SheKnows Experts Reveal What Prince Archie's Latest Endeavor Says About His Budding Personality A source from the palace exclusively told Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop that Harry and William's camps have already laid out some demands. 'The feud is still active and raw,' the insider said. 'They made it clear: no photos, no interactions, and absolutely no sitting next to one another.' According to sources, William's team is pushing for the future king to receive a top-tier place at the ceremony. 'They insisted his seat reflect his future role as king,' one source explained. 'And that means Harry's position must be visibly beneath his. They don't even try to hide the hierarchy anymore.' In return, Harry's team is requesting separate arrival times, private security, and insists that he won't appear in any official portraits with his estranged older brother. 'He doesn't want to be part of some fake PR reunion,' claims a source close to Harry. 'He's not interested in pretending things are fine when they're not.' 'They'll be in the same room—but not in the same frame,' a family source said. 'No speeches, no toasts, no warm moments. Just frost.' The brothers both have a close relationship with their older cousin, who has been somewhat of an older brother figure to them. Long before their feud, Harry and William attended his 2008 wedding to Autumn Kelly, from whom he split in 2019. However, amid their ongoing feud, Harry and William have gone to great lengths to avoid one another. In August 2024, they both attended the funeral of their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, but did not interact. Recently, royal insiders have speculated whether King Charles and Harry's teams being in contact with one another could bring a feud between the brothers to an end. 'I think that Harry's relationship with his brother is a different beast than his relationship with his father,' royal expert Kristen Meinzer told Us Weekly. 'But perhaps if Charles warms more to Harry, William will feel compelled to follow his lead.'Best of SheKnows Our Favorite Photos of Dazzling Couple JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette Katy Perry Complete Dating History & Exes: Orlando Bloom, Justin Trudeau & More A Look Back at Martha Stewart's Incredible Life, From Her Early Modeling Career to Her Media Empire at 84 Solve the daily Crossword

Jacob Elordi & Margot Robbie's new film described as 'hyper-sexualized'

An early test screening for her adaptation of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights — starring Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Jacob Elordi (Euphoria) — has reportedly received mixed reviews, and even a significant amount of negative reactions. Sign up for the to keep up with what's new in LGBTQ+ culture and entertainment — delivered three times a week straight (well…) to your inbox! Director Emerald Fennell hooked her audiences with her first two films: Promising Young Woman and Saltburn. While the former may have received an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, the latter pushed the envelope even further, to the point that her audience now expects it. A blog titled World of Reel reported that it spoke with some of the attendees after the screening. One person at the screening said the movie was "aggressively provocative and tonally abrasive," and that "leans hard into Fennell's now-familiar brand of stylized depravity." According to this attendee, the movie was a "deliberately unromantic take on Brontë's novel, stripped of emotional nuance and full of salacious detours that serve shock value." Fennell's "stylized depravity" comes in the form of multiple scenes that seemed to be included for shock factor. "The film opens with a public hanging that quickly descends into grotesque absurdity, as the condemned man ejaculates mid-execution, sending the onlooking crowd into a kind of orgiastic frenzy," the blog writes. " A nun even fondles the corpse's visible erection." But it doesn't stop there, according to the publication, there was a BDSM-tinged encounter with a woman tied up in horse reins, several masturbation scenes, suggestive scenes including egg yolks, bread kneading, and a slug. Attendees also told World of Reel that the unbalanced movie couldn't even be saved by either Robbie nor Elordi. The two actors had great chemistry, the writer explains, but "the characters they portray are so cold and unlikable that even strong acting can't create a point of connection. And I ask in return: isn't that precisely what Brontë intended?" It seems to be one of Fennell's most caustic films yet, and by the sound of the screen test attendees' accounts, the blog writes, "it sounds like the most unusual Wuthering Heights to date, and that might not be a bad thing."

The Top Coin Creator on Base's Zora Is Porn Company Fake Taxi

The taxi rides may be fake, but the coin is real. Reality porn company Fake Taxi has launched a 'creator coin,' a new spin on social tokens and meme coins, via Zora on Base. And it's speeding up the charts. Since rebranding to become the home of creator coins on Coinbase's Ethereum layer-2 network Base, Zora has introduced thousands of diverse creators to its platform, which 'coins' or creates a token for each post and profile created. None have been as successful as the Fake Taxi Coin, which trades as FAKETAXI, the token launched by the U.K.-based adult film company Fake Taxi. The company has been around since 2013, and makes roughly $8 million in yearly revenue from its content, according to data from RocketReach and Zoominfo. Trading at a $10 million market cap as of Thursday afternoon, Fake Taxi's token tops the Zora's creator charts, more than doubling the market cap of tokens for popular creator and artist Jack Butcher and the Zora co-founder Jacob Horne. 'FAKETAXI is the official token of Fully backed and supported by the original founders and owners,' an X account associated with the official Fake Taxi account posted in its 'Backseat Manifesto,' the official declaration of its token goals. 'As lovers of crypto and all things on-chain, we have been in the trenches alongside you, and now it is time to carve out our own path on the blockchain.' According to the manifesto, owning the token will provide holder perks like content leaks and storyboard discussions, with behind the scenes content and video chats with performers. The content will be made available to those in the 'Backset Billionaires Club,' a collection of holders that maintain at least 1,000,000 FAKETAXI tokens, or around $10,500 worth at current prices. The token has quickly gained in popularity, attracting more than 1,000 individual holders according to on-chain analytics tool DEXScreener since launching a couple weeks ago. The attention comes at a critical time in the token launchpad wars, as Zora aims to gain launchpad market share from leading platforms like and LetsBonk, which have been dueling for supremacy on the speedy Solana network for the last few months. Though previously dominated by LetsBonk surged to a leading market share in daily tokens created in early July, and has extended its lead since then. But that share has diminished, ultimately being flipped emphatically by on Wednesday when the platform launched 24,081 tokens, or six times more tokens than LetsBonk, according to data from the Memecoin Wars Dune dashboard. Zora has frequently surpassed that number since its pivot to creator coins, but not all tokens are created equal. Leading tokens from and LetsBonk, like FARTCOIN and USELESS, hold $995 million and $205 million market caps, respectively–far surpassing the $10 million market cap that FAKETAXI boasts for Zora. That's unlikely to deter FAKETAXI community members though, who have adopted the slogan, 'Don't ask where we're going, just get in.' 擷取數據時發生錯誤 登入存取你的投資組合 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤 擷取數據時發生錯誤
