#SHOWBIZ: Two decades on, My Chemical Romance's 'Black Parade' tops US Billboard Chart
LOS ANGELES: Two decades after releasing their landmark opus The Black Parade, American rock outfit My Chemical Romance have finally carried the record to the top of the Billboard 200.
Two decades after releasing their iconic album The Black Parade, rock band My Chemical Romance have finally achieved their first No.1 album on the US Billboard 200 charts with the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. The reissue of the New Jersey emo pioneers' third studio record moved 78,000 equivalent album units across multiple formats, surpassing pop star Olivia Rodrigo's latest release, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.
The deluxe edition, released on October 23, marked the group's inaugural No.1 on the UK's Official Albums Chart as well. My Chemical Romance celebrated the milestone by posting an Instagram story referencing Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball hit, paying homage to the 2006 clash for the top spot during the album's original debut. The band is currently on their Long Live the Black Parade stadium tour, with a Kuala Lumpur performance scheduled for November 19-20 at TM Stadium Nasional in Bukit Jalil.
