Ozzy Osbourne's Final Album Manages An Impressive Comeback

Ozzy Osbourne's Final Album Manages An Impressive Comeback

Forbes2 hours ago
Most rock icons slow down by their sixties or seventies, leaning more on greatest hits tours and re-releasing compilations than new albums. Ozzy Osbourne wasn't one of them. Right up to the end of his life, the Black Sabbath legend kept sharing new music that mattered, which was well-received by fans and critics. His final solo studio effort, Patient Number 9, was a late-career highlight, and now, following his death, it's climbing the charts again in the United Kingdom.
Patient Number 9 Returns to Four Charts
Patient Number 9 reappears on four U.K. rankings this week. The rock album returns at No. 74 on the Official Album Downloads chart, No. 75 on the Official Album Sales list and No. 79 on the Official Physical Albums roster.
Ozzy Osbourne Climbs on the Rock Chart
Patient Number 9 also moves north on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, the only tally where it has no need to return. This frame, Osbourne's final full-length leaps from No. 33 to No. 17.
Patient Number 9's Months on the Charts
The Official Rock and Metal Albums list has long been the most reliable space for the Patient Number 9, as it has now spent 28 weeks on the tally — far more than its runs on broader rankings. It's collected 18 weeks on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, and just five on the downloads-only ranking. The set reached No. 1 on the Rock and Metal tally and stalled in the runner-up space on all of the others.
Patient Number 9 Earned Grammys and Critical Acclaim
Released in 2022, Patient Number 9 was embraced as a return to form for Osbourne. The full-length won him two Grammy Awards in 2023, for Best Metal Performance and Best Rock Album, and though he stated he was working on a new collection before his passing, the set will forever stand as the last one he released during his lifetime.
Nine Ozzy Osbourne Albums Hit the Charts
In the days following Osbourne's death, nine of Osbourne's albums found their way back onto the U.K. charts. This time around, only two of them return to tallies they previously appeared on, as both Patient Number 9 and Ordinary Man reappear.
The latter, released in 2020, reenters the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 86. It previously peaked at No. 2 on the list of the most-downloaded projects in the nation.

Marques'Almeida Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection

After a one-off show in London last season, Marta Marques and Paolo Almeida were back in their home country of Portugal for fall. But don't let this runway footage fool you; set in the middle of a sun-drenched vineyard, this 'show' featured no guests. The designers were invited by the Portuguese tourism board to present one of their collections in the country. Leave it to this creative duo to turn their lookbook into an advertising campaign for a Portuguese getaway. On the makeshift runway, the Marques'Almeida collection looks a little more sophisticated than usual. 'It's not a traditionally elegant collection,' offered Almeida, calling in from his studio hours before departing for a well-deserved August holiday, 'but it is a little more grown-up, we were so young when we started!' To Almeida's point, there was nothing too formal about the designers' new take on elegance. For starters, they showed it outside, surrounded by nature and grass, which informed the more pragmatic footwear choices. Few designers can make a convincing peplum these days—one that doesn't look like something out of 2012, that is—but here they were available in spades. Evening volumes and fabrications were oftentimes paired with grungy acid-wash denim or fashioned into relaxed, unfussy shapes (including some great pajama-like sets). The OG Marques'Almeida spirit remains intact, even if the designers themselves have matured. 'We made some things we wouldn't have done or thought about at first,' Almeida said, speaking of the lineup's long, embellished sheaths and the cutesy flared skirts. Age looks good on them—who wouldn't want to be a plus-one wherever those funky drapes and ballooning blouses are headed come fall?

Look of the Week: Kate Moss takes her Hermès bag to the beach

EDITOR'S NOTE: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, 'Look of the Week' is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. Kate Moss's beach bag is not like ours — the supermodel was photographed on Wednesday in a bikini in Formentera, Spain, carrying a brown leather Hermès Kelly. Worth some tens of thousands of dollars, it was presumably full of her summer essentials. But while most celebrities who tote around the Kelly — or its sibling, the Birkin — keep their bags pristine, Moss took a different approach. In photos, her carry-all is scuffed, well-loved and almost certainly not kept in the recommended dust bag. Nestled in the crook of her elbow, the unclasped Kelly hangs wide open, threatening to tip out her belongings. Moss used it like, well, a bag, and not just a financial investment. Kelly bags retail between $10,000 and $20,000, and can double on the secondary market. Then, there are the splashiest auction sales: In 2024, a number of limited-edition Kelly bags soared to eye-watering six-figure prices at auction, and last month, Sotheby's sold the original Birkin prototype, designed for It-girl Jane Birkin, for a record-smashing $10 million. 'Everyone agreed and understood that this was a good investment,' the buyer, Shinsuke Sakimoto, told CNN in an interview following the sale. 'It was the most expensive purchase I've ever made for a single item,' he added. 'It was very exciting, but it really made me sick to my stomach.' Despite the pearl-clutching Moss's beach-worn bag could provoke, Hermès bags have not always been intended to be preserved. The Kelly bag dates back to the 1930s, and was originally designed as a functional travel bag for women, adopting its current name decades later for its association with the actor and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly. The original Birkin, sold at Sotheby's, features scuffs and sticker residue from being Jane Birkin's spacious everyday bag. She was known for her battered and bruised Birkins, brimming with notebooks and makeup and adorned with political and non-profit stickers, beaded key charms and ribbon. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen similarly followed suit in the early 2000s, wearing out their navy-hued versions until they were faded, beaten up and bursting at the seams. More recently, Dua Lipa has taken to adorning her Birkin with scarves, charms and now Labubus — though the bag itself appears immaculate. The Kelly style, meanwhile, is favored by Victoria Beckham, Sofia Richie and Kendall Jenner. Earlier this year, Cardi B's custom $60,000 crocodile Kelly was personalized against her will after her daughter drew on it with a pen. But in recent years, the luxury staples have transcended fashion. A 2016 study showed the value of the Birkin bag had grown faster than the S&P 500 and the price of gold. One of the world's biggest Birkin collectors, Jamie Chua in Singapore, reportedly keeps her pieces behind a fingerprint-locked glass case. But Moss, who completed her vacation look with a Broderie Anglaise-style blouse, chunky belt and stacks of necklaces and bangles, doesn't seem to subscribe to the belief of seen-and-not-touched. Moss has been regularly photographed with her Hermès bags over the years, though none quite so loved. After all, everyone has a favorite carry-all.
