Alright butt, gather round the festive riff-filled fireplace because The Riff Report is officially launching the daftest, loudest, and most wholesome Christmas mission of 2025:
๐ WEโRE TRYING TO GET OZZY OSBOURNE TO CHRISTMAS UK NUMBER 1 WITH MAMA, IโM COMING HOME!
Yes. Really.
And if we pull this off, itโll be the most beautifully chaotic thing the UK rock community has done since we all pretended festival cider counts as one of our five a day.
๐ธ WHY THIS SONG? WHY NOW?
Because itโs Ozzy, mun!
The Prince of Darkness! The Brummie Bard of Mayhem! The man who made bat cuisine briefly fashionable!
And โMama, Iโm Coming Homeโ isnโt just a belter โ it’s one of the most heartfelt songs he ever recorded, a proper tear-jerker wrapped in a power-ballad riff sandwich. It’s lush. Proper lush.
Plusโฆ Ozzy deserves a Christmas miracle. The manโs been through hell and back, yet he still turns up with humour, love, and riffs that slap harder than a Steelhouse windstorm.
๐ CURRENT UK CHART POSITION
At the moment, the track is NOT in the Top 40.
Its recent re-entry in 2025 peaked at #38, but right now? Sheโs slipped down the chimney and out of sight like a naughty elf.
Translation:
๐ WE NEED EVERYONE ON BOARD TO YEET THIS SONG UP THE CHARTS!
๐ฅ๐ THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: WHEN YOU NEED TO STREAM & DOWNLOAD!
To get Ozzy to Christmas Number 1, timing is EVERYTHING, butt! The charts only count streams and downloads during a specific weekly window.
โญ THE OFFICIAL CHART WEEK FOR THE CHRISTMAS NUMBER 1 BATTLE:
๐ Friday 12th December โ Friday Midnight 18th December
All streams and downloads inside THIS window count towards the Christmas #1.
So hereโs what you do:
๐ง STREAM LIKE A MANIAC

4๏ธโฃ POST WITH THE HASHTAG:
๐ #OzzyForChristmasNumber1
๐ค WHY THIS MATTERS
Ozzy is a legend.
A UK treasure.
A walking, talking, bat-biting national monument.
Rock and metal fans rarely get to dominate the Christmas chartsโฆ and when we do, it feels tidy as hell.
Imagine turning on BBC News on Christmas Eve and hearing:
โIn an unexpected twist, Ozzy Osbourne has beaten the TikTok children to Christmas Number One.โ
Ohhh mun. The scenes.
๐ค THE FINAL WORD
This isnโt just a campaign.
Itโs a love letter to Ozzy, from a country that grew up headbanging in its bedrooms and accidentally smashing light fixtures.
So cโmon butt โ
Letโs give the Prince of Darkness the Christmas crown he deserves!
๐๐ฅ STREAM IT. BUY IT. SHARE IT. SHOUT ABOUT IT.
๐
๐ค MAMA, WEโRE BRINGING OZZY HOME FOR CHRISTMAS #1!
