Olivia Rodrigo Checks Out My Chemical Romance Show as Both Acts Aim High on Billboard 200

Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love and MCR's 20th anniversary reissue of The Black Parade are vying for high ranks at the top of the album tally.

Olivia Rodrigo checked out a My Chemical Romance show recently, flexing her emo skills on the group's ongoing Long Live the Black Parade tour. In an Instagram Story, she captioned a video of the band, including the title track from their 2006 album, "The Black Parade." The timing couldn't have been better, as both Rodrigo and My Chemical Romance are strong contenders for high spots on the Billboard 200 chart, set to be released on Nov.

6. Rodrigo's latest album, "You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So In Love," has been on top for three separate weeks, starting in June with her initial debut and returning to the top spot for a third time on Oct. 31, thanks to a remix of the single "Expectations" by Chappell Roan. My Chemical Romance's 20th-anniversary edition of "The Black Parade" could be the next reissue to enter the top 10 this year, following successful reissues of The Beatles, Beyoncé, and Mac Miller.

If Rodrigo's album maintains its No. 1 position, it would be her second-longest run at the top, while a No. 1 spot for the band's revised album would mark their first-ever chart-topping album.
