Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath’s Top 10 Most-Streamed Songs

Though much of his catalog preceded the inception of the streaming era, Ozzy Osbourne, who died July 22 at age 76, drew fans old and new to his body of work, both solo and as the original frontman of legendary rockers Black Sabbath.

The Prince of Darkness easily translated to streaming platforms once the medium became a prominent form of music consumption, ranging from his early Black Sabbath material, dating to the band’s 1968 founding, to music from his 13 solo albums — along with songs by other acts to which he lent his iconic vocals.

In fact, according to Luminate, Osbourne’s most-streamed song to date fits into the latter category. In 2019, Osbourne guested on Post Malone’s “Take What You Want,” a song that drove him back into the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time in 30 years, peaking at No. 8 that September (equaling Osbourne’s previous top peak first earned via “Close My Eyes Forever,” with Lita Ford, in 1989). From its release, “Take What You Want” has accumulated 827.3 million official on-demand U.S. streams.

Osbourne’s top three most-streamed songs represent all three forms of his musical output; the second-biggest, his solo classic “Crazy Train,” from 1980’s Blizzard of Ozz, his first LP on his own, has racked up 771.5 million streams; the third, Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” from the group’s 1970 album of the same name, has earned 624.5 million streams.

Here are Ozzy Osbourne’s most-streamed songs to date, according to official on-demand U.S. streaming data from Luminate through July 17, 2025.
