The band My Chemical Romance achieved its first number one album on both the Billboard 200 in the United States and the Official Albums Chart in the United Kingdom. This milestone was driven by the 20th anniversary deluxe reissue of their 2006 rock opera, “The Black Parade”. In the United States, the album climbed from number 139 to the top spot for the chart dated November 7, surpassing Olivia Rodrigo’s “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So In Love”. The achievement was fueled by 78,000 equivalent album ~~units,~~ units during the charting week ending October 29, which included 42,000 in vinyl sales. This ~~achievement~~ success set a Billboard 200 record for the longest interval between an album’s original release and its first time reaching number one, surpassing the previous record held by Toby Keith. The band ~~has~~ celebrated the milestone ~~on social media~~ following a residency at the Hollywood Bowl and is currently performing the album in its entirety during their 2026 tour.
