As a result of streaming, two classic songs from Ozzy Osbourne have reached new sales milestones in the U.S. “Crazy Train” has been certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America) on September 1 for accumulating four million certified units. That same day, “Mr. Crowley” was certified gold for accumulating half a million units. According to the RIAA, one equivalent song unit is equal to a single digital song sale, or 150 on-demand audio and/or video streams.

razy Train” and “Mr. Crowley” both originally appeared on Ozzy’s debut solo album, 1980’s “Blizzard Of Ozz”, which was certified quintuple platinum in the U.S. in February 2019 after accumulating five million certified units. The recognition came more than two decades since the LP was certified quadruple platinum (August 15, 1997).

“Blizzard Of Ozz” was reissued in 2011 in a definitive edition that restored and remastered the original recordings. It was made available separately or as part of a deluxe box set with 1981’s “Diary Of A Madman” that featured both albums on CD and vinyl, a 100-page coffee table book, a documentary on DVD and a “full-size detailed replica of Ozzy’s iconic cross.”
