As a die-hard fan of rock music, I can confidently say that no one has left an imprint quite like Ozzy Osbourne in this genre – and his prolific discography is a testament to that fact.
Through Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne initially defined the metal genre and went on to have a profound impact on subsequent generations. This influence extended not only to his performance style but also to the sound of his music.
Although Black Sabbath is undeniably Ozzy Osbourne’s best-known venture, internal conflicts within the group led him to forge a solo career in 1980.
Despite later reconciling, Ozzy Osbourne carried on creating music and performing, doing so not only solo but also as part of the larger band.
After the passing of Ozzy Osbourne on July 22, 2025 (just shy of three weeks following Black Sabbath’s last concert at Villa Park, Birmingham), we take a moment to reminisce about and pay tribute to some of his most memorable solo albums and chart-topping hits.
Here are all his studio albums in order and where to get them.

What are Ozzy Osbourne’s most successful solo albums and songs?
In 1980, Ozzy Osbourne’s debut solo album, “Blizzard of Oz,” reached as high as the seventh spot on UK charts upon its release, making it one of the five albums in his career to enter the top ten.
Over time, it earned Gold certification for its impressive record sales, while many of his other works received Silver certification.
In 2003, Ozzy Osbourne, along with his daughter Kelly Osbourne, re-released a single version of the ballad “Changes,” which was originally released by Black Sabbath in 1974. The updated lyrics convey the theme of a father and daughter growing up and gradually growing apart.
