In the United Kingdom, Black Sabbath has made a notable impact on music charts with the debut of three of their classic albums. This week marks a significant achievement for the legendary hard rock band as 'Headless Cross', 'Tyr', and 'Cross Purposes' have all entered various U.K.-based rankings, showcasing their enduring popularity despite not releasing new material for over a decade. The best performer among these albums is 'Headless Cross', which has landed in the top 10 of the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, demonstrating the band’s lasting appeal to their loyal fan base. All three albums were recently reissued and hail from a similar era in the band's history, suggesting that there is a continued interest in their past works. 'Tyr' also made a strong impression by debuting on two charts, specifically the Official Rock & Metal Albums and Official Physical Albums. This resurgence in popularity indicates a growing support for Black Sabbath's music in current times, as they continue to be revered as one of the pioneers of heavy metal.
