BLACK SABBATH Album Lands In UK Top 10, Twenty-Five Years After First Release

Forbes Senior Contributor, Hugh McIntyre, is reporting that Black Sabbath scores a brand new Top 10 album in the United Kingdom this frame. The set isn’t actually newly released, but it is new to several charts it reaches for the first time, and it even rises into the highest tier on one of them.

Headless Cross debuts on a trio of charts across the pond this week. It opens highest on the "Official Rock & Metal Albums" ranking, which tracks only the best-selling rock, hard rock, and metal full-lengths in the country. On that tally, Black Sabbath’s popular set launches at #10, bringing the band back to the loftiest space on the roster.

The set appears to be the group’s milestone twentieth Top 10 on the "Official Rock & Metal Albums" chart. It hasn’t been very long since they last scored a new winner on the genre-specific list, as Anno Domini 1989-1995 hit #1 this spring.
