Elton John Breaks Record on Mainstream Rock Songs Chart, Thanks to Ozzy Osbourne

John is featured on Osbourne's "Ordinary Man," which debuts at No. 34.

"Ordinary Man" is an ironic song title for Elton John, given that the new track grants him a record on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart.

Ozzy Osbourne's ballad, featuring John, bows at No. 34 on the airplay tally dated Feb. 29, marking the first time that John has appeared on the survey in over 27 years.

The last time he made the tally? September 1992, when "Runaway Train," featuring Eric Clapton, rolled to No. 10.

John sets the record for the longest break between Mainstream Rock Songs appearances in the chart's 39-year history, passing Queen guitarist Brian May, who waited just under 26 years between his solo track "Driven by You" (No. 9, 1993) and his featured appearance on Five Finger Death Punch's "Blue on Black," alongside Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Brantley Gilbert (No. 1 for five weeks beginning in June 2019).

Longest Gaps Between Mainstream Rock Songs Entries
27 years, five months, Elton John (1992-2020)
25 years, 11 months, three weeks, Brian May (1993-2019)
23 years, four months, three weeks, Charlie Daniels (1987-2011)
22 years, 11 months, three weeks, Alice Cooper (1991-2014)
21 years, nine months, two weeks, David Gilmour (1984-2006)

John tallied five top 20 hits on Mainstream Rock Songs from the chart's 1981 inception through 1992, with "Runaway Train" marking his lone top No. 10. During that span, he posted 17 top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and 19 on Adult Contemporary.

Osbourne, meanwhile, is charting three songs simultaneously on Mainstream Rock Songs. Alongside "Ordinary Man," "Under the Graveyard" descends 5-7 after spending six weeks at No. 1 in December and January and follow-up "Straight to Hell" dips 16-18. He notched another recent hit: Post Malone's "Take What You Want," on which Osbourne and Travis Scott are featured, rose to No. 26 in January.

"Ordinary Man" is the title track from Osbourne's 12th solo studio album, which was released Feb. 21 and is expected to bow in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 dated March 7.

Dww, Sps total include physical sales.

So it’s 1.382.000 Sps total sales ( double Or triple version, But there’s only a limited 1-cd version), including 400.000 only physical + digital sales.
Sales ( physical + digital) for RIAA is x 2, But also some of these are for deluxe 3-disc version;
so may be approx
300.000 x 2 = 600.000
75.000 x 3 = 225.000
25.000 x 1 = 25.000
total: 850.000 sales for RIAA (not including streaming)

19 North American Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour dates postponed due to Coronavirus. Shows continue from May 22nd date in Columbia, SC. Postponed shows are expected to be rescheduled for 2021.

After serious consideration, it is with deep regret that Elton John will postpone a portion of upcoming North American dates on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour from March 26 through May 2, 2020," his team said in a statement Monday. "The May 22 thru July 8 performances remain as scheduled. This tough decision has been made with the safety and well-being of his fans put to the fore, at a time when health services are under increased pressure and with the concern that these gatherings risk accelerating the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19)."
