Black Sabbath's 13 hits #1 in Britain, setting new chart record

On the heels of releasing their first album with the (mostly) original lineup in 35 years and announcing a world tour to follow, Black Sabbath has managed another milestone.

13 landed the Number One spot on the British Album charts, holding back  Liam Gallagher's band Beady Eye for the band's first #1 album in their native country in nearly 43 years. Paranoid, the band's second album, hit #1 in late 1970. The nearly 43 year year gap between Number One albums is a new record for the British charts.
