In honor of the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne surviving the many bumps and bruises along the way to this big day, let’s take a look back at Ozzy’s biggest hits, as determined by the Billboard charts.
What is Ozzy’s biggest hit?
1. “Close My Eyes Forever” (duet with Lita Ford) Taken from Lita Ford’s 1988 solo album, Lita, this is Ozzy’s highest-charting song to date. Peaking at #8 on the Hot 100, it’s one of only two Top 10 hits in his career.
2. “Take What You Want” (2019) That’s right–the second biggest song in Ozzy’s career and only his second Top 10 single comes with Post Malone and Travis Scott leading the way.
3. “Mama, I’m Coming Home” (1992) Found on Ozzy’s 1991 album, No More Tears, this classic power ballad crashed the Top 40, peaking at #28.
4. “I Don’t Wanna Stop” This down and dirty skull-crusher of a track comes with a most appropriate WWE connection, with Ozzy performing it on Friday Night Smackdown that year. It got as high as #61 on the Hot 100.
5. “Shot in the Dark” Taken from Osbourne’s 1986 album The Ultimate Sin, “Shot in the Dark” didn’t do much damage on the charts, peaking at #68 on the singles chart. The song had quite a run on MTV, though, with a very ’80s music video that’s increasingly rare to track down. It features Dweezil Zappa and the demonic woman from The Ultimate Sin cover art.
