My Chemical Romance Charts Its First No. 1 As Fans Revisit A Decades-Old Classic
My Chemical Romance recently released a special deluxe edition of its album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, turning the decades-old effort into a bestselling title once more. Fans of the beloved rock group rushed to pick up the anniversary edition of the groundbreaking set, and sales skyrocketed.
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge returns to several Billboard charts this week, and even manages to lead some of the tallies it reaches. Its ascent brings My Chemical Romance back to the top spot on a multitude of rankings, and as it reappears, the set becomes the band its first champion on one particularly competitive tally.
My Chemical Romance's First Vinyl No. 1
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge leads the Vinyl Albums chart this week. The title hits No. 1 for the first time, doing so seven weeks into its scattered history on the vinyl-exclusive roster.
This week marks the first time My Chemical Romance has reached the summit on the Vinyl Albums chart, as Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge finally climbs to the top.
My Chemical Romance Previously Peaked at No. 2
Previously, the group missed out on the throne by just a single spot on more than one occasion. In October 2015, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love reached its runner-up peak position. A year later, The Black Parade stalled in the same No. 2 slot.
Two other titles by My Chemical Romance — Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys and Life on the Murder Scene — both cracked the top 10 on the vinyl ranking as well.
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge's Sales Explode
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge sold 37,000 copies in the U.S. last week, according to Luminate, which is a large enough figure to make it the second-bestselling title in the country. That sum is up dramatically from the period before it was re-released as a deluxe edition, when it managed only about 1,200 pure purchases.
My Chemical Romance Reaches New Peaks on Multiple Charts
All of those sales help push My Chemical Romance's sophomore set to new peaks on half a dozen Billboard tallies. As it returns to each and every one of them, the project hits No. 1 not just on the Vinyl Albums list, but also on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Alternative Albums tallies. The set, which was once a cult classic, but now should be regarded simply as a hugely successful release, also breaks into the top 10 on the Billboard 200.

Fact Check: Posts claim girl called Trump 'a disgrace to this world.' Here's the real story
Claim: A video authentically shows a young girl calling U.S. President Donald Trump "a disgrace to the world." Rating: In late June 2025, a video allegedly showing a young girl calling U.S. President Donald Trump a "disgrace to the world" spread on social media. One TikTok post (archived) with the video reached over 10 million views, 2.3 million reactions and 348,000 shares. The clip was edited in the style of a "diva edit" — a flashy, stylized video format that emphasizes confidence, typically featuring empowering songs such as Beyoncé's "Diva," particularly the lyric, "Diva is a female version of a hustla." The caption read, "i just had to edit that little girl cause same girl #edit #audio #diva #divaedit #FTD." Many viewers treated the moment as genuine and praised the girl's confidence in the comments. The video also spread across other social media platforms, including X and YouTube. In short, while the video was authentic in the sense that it was not digitally manipulated or the product of artificial-intelligence (AI) software, it did not depict the real Donald Trump. Rather, it showed actor Anthony Atamanuik impersonating Trump in a 2017 segment of "The President Show," a Comedy Central television series. It did not show an actual interaction with the president. As such, we have rated this claim as miscaptioned. Atamanuik's face was not fully visible in many versions of the clip that circulated, which likely contributed to internet users mistakenly believing the footage authentically showed Trump. We previously fact-checked this video in 2017. The interaction shown in the viral clip can be seen in a YouTube video uploaded in May 2017, titled, "The President Takes on Tax Day," which originated as a skit for "The President Show." The moment appears around the 1:30 mark in the following video: The video showed the actor saying, "What a wonderful little girl. You wanna take a picture with me?" The girl responded, "You're a disgrace to the world." As she snapped a photo of him, he added, "Let's just do it and then be done, OK?" (Comedy Central YouTube channel) In an extended version of the clip shared on the official "The President Show" Facebook page, the actor added, "What a wonderful little girl. I am a disgrace to the world. I am a disgrace." On May 8, 2017, Atamanuik wrote (archived) on X (then Twitter), "I'm the guy playing Trump from the @PresidentShow and that little girl was brave, funny and smart. Also, she said that if (sic) her own volition," suggesting the moment was genuine and unscripted. He did not provide any further details. (X user @CoffeeWithTony) This was not the first Comedy Central-related rumor we investigated. For instance, in April 2018 we debunked a rumor that Comedy Central fired comedian Michelle Wolf and issued an apology after Wolf's appearance at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. - YouTube. Accessed 2 Jul. 2025. Evon, Dan. "Did a Little Girl Call President Trump a 'Disgrace to the World'?" Snopes, 8 May 2017, Mikkelson, David. "Did Comedy Central Fire Michelle Wolf and Apologize to Sarah Sanders?" Snopes, 29 Apr. 2018, The President Show. 3 Arts Entertainment, Clone Wolf Productions, Pie Baby Productions, 2017.

Richard Greenberg, Tony-Winning ‘Take Me Out' Playwright, Dies at 67
Richard Greenberg, the Tony Award-winning writer of 'Take Me Out,' has died. He was 67 years old. Greenberg's death was announced on social media by collaborators and colleagues such as Denis O'Hare and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who won Tonys for their work in the original 2003 production of 'Take Me Out' and its 2022 revival, as well as director Robert Falls. More from Variety Jesse Williams and 'Take Me Out' Co-Stars Discuss Need for Hot Water in Infamous Shower Scenes Jesse Williams on Baring All Again in 'Take Me Out,' That Leaked Footage and Why He Doesn't Watch 'Grey's Anatomy' 'Take Me Out' Returning to Broadway in October With Jesse Williams, Jesse Tyler Ferguson 'For over 30 years, it's been one of life's great pleasures to know Rich and his writing. Dazzling, humane, wildly funny,' Falls wrote. 'He was also one of the smartest people I've ever met. But he wore that brilliance lightly—often cloaked in hilarity, or tossed off in the driest, most devastating line at dinner. His kindness was real. His loss is enormous.' Greenberg's plays were known for their wit and sophistication, and covered a wide range of topics, from a pro baseball team reacting to the presence of a gay player in the locker room in 'Take Me Out' to an Upper West Side family grappling with the consequences of their bad choices in 'The Assembled Parties.' Greenberg's work, which includes 'Three Days of Rain,' 'Our Mother's Brief Affair' and 'The American Plan,' was frequently produced on and off Broadway, as well as at top regional theaters. He also wrote a disastrous 2013 adaptation of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' as well as penned a well-received adaptation of August Strindberg's 'Dance of Death' that brought Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren to Broadway. In addition to winning the Tony for best new play for 'Take Me Out' in 2003, Greenberg was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for that show and for 'Three Days of Rain.' Falls wrote on social media that Greenberg was working with him on a new adaptation of Philip Barry's 'Holiday' that was supposed to premiere next year at Chicago's Goodman Theatre.

"This Country Is An Embarrassment" — People Can't Help But Be Frustrated With Donald Trump's Planning To Host A UFC Fight At The White House
Donald Trump revealed his plan to honor America's 250th birthday next year with a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House, and he's so serious. Related: "So every one of our national parks, battlefields and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250. And I even think we're going to have a UFC fight," Trump said. "Does anybody watch UFC?" "We're going to have a UFC fight — think of this — on the grounds of the White House," Trump said on July 3 at the Des Moines, Iowa State Fairgrounds. "We got a lot of land there." Trump's visit to the fairgrounds was more or less a celebration of Congress passing the "big, beautiful bill," a legislation predicted to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. However, the primary focus of the president's remarks wasn't policy, or even politics; it was throwing a yearlong "big, beautiful" celebration for America's birthday in 2026. Related: "We're going to have a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20, 25,000 people and we're going to do that as part of 250 also," he added. "We're going to have some incredible events. Some professional events, some amateur events, but the UFC fight's going to be a big deal, too." According to NBC News, a spokesperson for UFC confirmed the event will happen, although further details have not been provided. Karoline Leavitt said the president was "dead serious" about the plans, per Associated Press. It's no secret that Trump is buddy-buddy with UFC President Dana White, who's appeared at several campaign rallies and took the stage at Trump's election night victory party. Related: His remarks have gone viral, and people have mocked and criticized what this means for the United States to have our 47th president touting a mixed martial arts sporting event on the White House lawn. Here's what people are saying: One person said, "this shit is like a really bad SNL skit that's run too long." Another person said, "this country is an embarrassment. we just increased national debt by trillions now the White House is sponsored by UFC." Someone else didn't hold back claiming they'ree "turning the White House into a redneck amusement park. Next they'll construct a NASCAR circuit around MAGAWORLD!" Related: Lots of people made the obvious comparison to Mike Judge's 2006 movie Idiocracy, which featured an outlandish plot that seemed implausible to critics until recent events. Other folks are saying UFC fights at the White House are giving Gladiator fights from the Roman Empire. And finally, people are throwing out ridiculous suggestions of who should be on the fight card for the 2026 bout. Also in In the News: Also in In the News: Also in In the News:
