Ozzy Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates are back at the top of the U.K. albums chart for the first time in nearly 43 years.
The album, titled 13, was released on Monday. In taking the top spot it breaks the record for the longest gap between chart-topping releases by British artists.
Black Sabbath first topped the UK's album chart in September 1970 with their second album Paranoid.
It's Black Sabbath's first U.K. chart-topper since "Paranoid" hit the top spot in October 1970 - 42 years and eight months ago - earning them the record for the longest gap between number one records.
The 43-year-long wait beats the record set by Rod Stewart, who had to wait 34 years for number one success between Volume 1 of his Greatest Hits, which came out in 1979, and this year's album Time.
Reacting to the good news, Osbourne says, "I'm in shock! The success of this album has blown me off my feet."
The singer will be hoping to earn a TransAtlantic double when 13's chart position on America's Billboard countdown is announced next week.
Black Sabbath is touring the UK in December, including a homecoming show at Birmingham's LG Arena.
