Black Sabbath's Famed Album Reaches A New Peak Weeks After Ozzy Osbourne's Death
Almost exactly a month ago, the world lost one of the most important rock musicians of all time. Ozzy Osbourne died in mid-July at the age of 76, just eight weeks after performing his final show both as a solo star and with Black Sabbath. In the days and weeks following his passing, both of those musical acts appeared across charts all around the globe as sales and streams of the biggest hits and albums soared. As is the case whenever such a spike occurs, there's always a decline, and for the most part, Osbourne and Black Sabbath's catalogs have resettled — although the group manages to climb once more on a handful of Billboard rankings in the United States, as the outfit's most celebrated full-length pushes to impressive new positions. Paranoid Hits New Peaks on Several Billboard Charts Paranoid manages to lift on two Billboard lists in the U.S. Perhaps most impressively, the Black Sabbath favorite jumps from No. 20 to No. 9 on the Vinyl Albums chart. As it leaps, Paranoid gives Black Sabbath its fourth appearance inside the highest tier on that ranking. Live at Hammersmith Odeon, 13 and Black Sabbath Prior to the ascent of Paranoid, Black Sabbath had cracked the top 10 on the Vinyl Albums chart three times. The band first broke into the tier in 2011 with Live at Hammersmith Odeon, which peaked at No. 8. Two years later, 13 almost gave Black Sabbath its inaugural No. 1, but the full-length stalled in the runner-up space. The group's self-titled effort reached an all-time high of No. 6 last summer. Sales of Paranoid Grow by 85% Purchases of Paranoid exploded recently, which help the title vault up the Top Album Sales chart. This frame, Black Sabbath jumps from No. 32 to No. 14, thanks to a little more than 5,400 purchases of the decades-old set, Luminate reports. That figure grows by nearly 85% frame-over-frame. Black Sabbath's Classic Falls on Several Tallies Black Sabbath only claims one charting album at the moment in America, and as Paranoid steps up on the aforementioned two purchase-centric rankings, it declines on several other tallies. Paranoid falls on the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, and it dips a single spot on the Billboard 200. Black Sabbath manages to hold at No. 5 on the Top Hard Rock Albums roster. 'Paranoid' the Hit Single also Lives on Billboard's Charts 'Paranoid' – the single – is also the only Black Sabbath winner present on the Billboard lists at the moment, although recently, the group surged with multiple classics and even scored several new hits on a variety of lists. 'Paranoid' drops from No. 5 to No. 14 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart and also tumbles by several dozen spots on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excluding U.S.

Joe Jonas Reveals He Joined the Mile High Club and Accidentally High-Fived a Flight Attendant in Celebration
Joe opened up about the moment on the NowThis series 'Are You Okay?' — and exclaimed the experience was worth it NEED TO KNOW Joe Jonas appeared on the latest episode of the NowThis series Are You Okay? He opened up about joining the mile high club The "Cake by the Ocean" performer is currently on the JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour The mile high club includes Joe Jonas. In an interview for the NowThis series Are You Okay?, the 36-year-old Jonas Brothers member revealed he once got busy with a partner in an airplane bathroom — and it immediately led to an awkward moment. "I joined the mile high club a couple years ago. I was wearing contacts, left the bathroom," said Joe in the video, filmed in New York City. "I thought I was high-fiving my drummer — it was the flight attendant." However, it could've been worse. "It was a private flight, or I would be banned from flying," he noted. Was the experience worth it? "Yeah," he declared with a smirk. Joe likely wouldn't make the same mistake again, as he's publicly spoken about undergoing EVO Visian ICL surgery to improve his eyesight. "I've been performing and touring ever since I was 15 years old with my brothers, and after long days and nights, I wished I didn't have to worry about accidentally sleeping with my contacts in or keeping track of where I put my glasses, and to simply be able to wake up and see clearly," he said in a statement to Brinton Vision. The surgery was "easy" for the "Cake by the Ocean" performer, who noted having "sharp, clear vision day or night" after the procedure. Elsewhere in the Are You Okay? video, Joe spoke about a recurring experience that leaves him feeling humbled without fail. "It happens quite often," he said. "Somebody will be like, 'Can I take a picture with you?' And then they'll hand me the camera, and they want to take a picture with Nick." Joe, Nick and Kevin are currently in the midst of the JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour, and the siblings' next show is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 19 at the Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater in Syracuse, N.Y. Throughout the tour, the Jonas Brothers have brought out surprise guests including Demi Lovato, Switchfoot, Jesse McCartney, Dean Lewis, All Time Low, the Click Five, Hanson, Cartel and Hoobastank. In an interview with PEOPLE ahead of the tour, Joe noted the band "wanted to bring a show for the audience that they felt like was something different from what they've experienced before."

Movie review: 'Splitsville' finds humor in polyamory complications
1 of 5 | From left, Michael Angelo Covino, Kyle Marvin, Adria Arjona and Dakota Johnson star in "Splitsville," in theaters Friday. Photo courtesy of Neon LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Heartbreak and confusion will always be universal subjects for relationship stories. Splitsville, in theaters Friday, applies the lenses of polyamory and the filmmakers' unique comic sensibilities to bring new humor and insights to those subjects. The movie opens with Carey's (Kyle Marvin) wife Ashley (Adria Arjona) asking him for a divorce after 14 months of marriage. He goes to his friends Julie (Dakota Johnson) and Paul (Michael Angelo Covino) for comfort and is surprised when they inform him they are in an open relationship but don't discuss their extramarital encounters with each other. Julie and Paul's arrangement prompts Carey to suggest to Ashley that they try opening their marriage, in a desperate attempt to not lose her. The two couples' interactions are further complicated after Julie sleeps with Carey when he's staying with them. The script to Splitsville, written by Marvin and Covino, is hardly an endorsement of polyamory. It's about the potential for comic misadventures, which may offend people practicing ethical nonmonogamy successfully. Any relationship can only be as successful as the people involved, and Splitsville, which Covino also directed, portrays four characters exploring polyamory to avoid dealing with deeper emotional issues. Perhaps committed polyamorists could relate to the frustration of such characters dabbling in their lifestyle for the wrong reasons. The first scene of Splitsville shows how writers Marvin and Covino plan to twist Hollywood romantic-comedy conventions. Carey and Ashley are singing along to a song, an obnoxious movie shorthand for letting loose. The joke is not so much their lousy singing, but rather how the road trip escalates to witnessing a legitimate roadside death, which prompts Ashley's divorce request. Later, she will sing into a hairbrush, which also won't go as well as most rom-com impromptu musical numbers. The whole movie is off-kilter, with slapstick during crises and shocking escalations handled with matter-of-fact frankness. For example, Julie and Paul's son, Russ (Simon Webster), gets into trouble as kids do but he vandalizes property, which makes the owner understandably upset. Then that angry party takes his reaction way too far. In addition, Paul and Carey fight when Paul finds out his friend slept with Julie. Their fight is goofy but they really hurt each other and break things. This scene is a good cinematic demonstration that Paul was obviously not as cool with the open relationship paradigm as he claimed, instead of giving it verbal exposition. Paul and Carey demolish the house and each other, and it takes way longer than most mainstream movies would devote to such a scene. Of course, the longer and more uncomfortable it goes, the funnier it gets. Marvin and Covino set up some scenarios that can only go badly, such as a scene with loose articles on a roller coaster. There, the comedy comes from the inevitable occurring despite Carey fighting an uphill battle to prevent it. While separated from Ashley, Carey makes friends with Ashley's subsequent ex-lovers. The larger this entourage of exes grows, the funnier it becomes. It is also tragicomedy because Carey is obviously refusing to let go of someone who is moving on. But then, so are the exes who hang out with Ashley's ex-husband, bitterly watching her invite new studs into her home and specifically her bedroom. Ashley may not be ready for monogamy, but her partners were clearly hoping for it. Every character in the movie is unclear about their own needs, which is sympathetic to the human condition. It's their poor decisions that make them self-destructive. Ashley was asking Carey for new experiences, to which Carey responded by booking them weekend activities, a common but clueless attempt to superficially fix a partner's dissatisfaction. Carey also keeps pushing for a baby only a year into marriage. Ashley's firm denial suggests having children is a conversation they should have had before saying "I do." They probably did discuss kids but Carey thought Ashley would change her mind. The fact that he continues the very same pattern in relationships later in the movie suggests he's missing the real lessons he should be learning through this heartbreaking turmoil. When discussing her open marriage with Carey, Julie says she agrees to it so neither Julie nor Paul have to feel guilty, the implication being that removing guilt is easier than being faithful. That is a superficial observation that ignores the root causes of infidelity. So does Julie really want multiple partners, or just not to feel like the bad guy when Paul desires other women? Paul is introduced while lying and exaggerating, so he is probably the type doing the most harm to the legitimate ethical nonmonogamy movement, using it as a Get Out of Jail Free card. Paul claims he told Ashley off when he only wishes he had. He increases the value of a piece of furniture or decoration within the same conversation, suggesting that he was already inflating it in the first place. The story of how Paul and Julie met is already based on a form of not respecting boundaries, if not outright unfaithfulness. Paul was dating Julie's roommate when he asked her out, and Julie said no at first until he kept coming around. One could say that's a shaky foundation for a marriage. Indeed, one of the themes of Splitsville is that deceptive people will be deceptive about everything, not just relationships. If Paul was honest, it would improve all his relationships. If Carey were more secure being independent and alone, he'd be a stronger partner. Julie and Ashley both appear to have entered lifestyles with a considerable amount of uncertainty in order to please their partners. They each put those relationships to the test. Nobody's perfect and these characters are as flawed and vulnerable as real human beings. Fortunately, these four are funny about it.
