Osbourne has sustained remarkable success ever since, which came full circle with a Black Sabbath reunion in 2011. While never a major presence on the Top 100, he's sold tons of records around the world and he's known for a number of classic rock hits like "Crazy Train," "Goodbye To Romance," and "Mr. Crowley."
The first single Ozzy landed on the chart was "Shot In The Dark," which managed to reach #68 in 1986. His biggest chart success came soon after in the form of a haunting duet with Lita Ford called "Close My Eyes Forever," which peaked at #8 in 1989.
Riding this resurgence of popularity, Ozzy worked on his biggest commercial success yet, the 1991 effort "No More Tears." The title track went to #71 and his acoustic-driven power ballad, "Mama, I'm Coming Home," landed at #28, giving him his second best chart success. Ozzy's only other Top 100 appearance came in 2007 when "I Don't Wanna Stop" reached #61.
"I Don't Want To Change The World" is another cut from "No More Tears" that remains one of my favorite Ozzy tunes. It didn't chart, but won a Grammy for Metal Performance. Like several other songs from this masterpiece of an album, it was co-written with Lemmy from Motorhead.
