Ozzy Osbourne's legacy is unmatched when it comes to rock music – and his extensive album releases proves it.

Defining the metal genre with Black Sabbath before breaking out into his own solo career, Ozzy created songs that influenced multiple generations that followed – whether it be in stage presence, or in sound.

While Black Sabbath will always be Ozzy's most famous project, rifts within the band prompted him to strike out on his own in 1980.

Although the band would eventually reconcile, Ozzy continued to make music and tour both as himself and with the band at large.

Following Ozzy's death on 22nd July 2025 – less than three weeks after Black Sabbath's final performance at Villa Park in Birmingham – we look back and honour some of his greatest solo records and hits.

Here are all his studio albums in order and where to get them.

On top of Black Sabbath's extensive discography, Ozzy's full studio releases as a solo artist are:

In a telling sign less than two weeks prior to his death, Ozzy released a full vinyl collection, titled See You on the Other Side on 11th July.

What are Ozzy Osbourne's most successful solo albums and songs?

Ozzy's first venture as a solo artist, Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard of Oz, peaked at number seven on the UK charts upon its release in 1980, and was one of five albums to make it into the Top 10 throughout his career.

It eventually reached Gold status in terms of record sales, with most of his other releases achieving Silver status.

His only number one single was a re-release of Changes. A ballad previously released by Black Sabbath in 1974, Ozzy reimagined the track with his daughter, Kelly Osbourne, in 2003. The lyrics were changed to be reflective of a father and daughter growing up and drifting apart.

We personally recommend adding these to your playlist:

  • Mama I'm Coming Home
  • Crazy Train
  • Changes
  • Shot in the Dark
  • You Can't Kill Rock N Roll
