My Chemical Romance Charts Its First Top 10 Album With A 20-Year-Old Release
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge appears on half a dozen charts in the United Kingdom this week. It debuts on three of them, returns to two, and soars on the last ranking. The decades-old set opens at No. 5 on the Official Albums Sales chart, standing out as the fifth bestselling title in the country as it arrives. The project becomes My Chemical Romance's first top 10 on that tally.
Throughout the years, My Chemical Romance has only sent three projects to the Official Albums Sales chart. The group came close to reaching the uppermost region in October 2016, when The Black Parade/Living With Ghosts debuted and peaked at No. 11. During the same tracking week, the standard version of The Black Parade also launched. That set would go on to spend four frames on the tally, but only climb as high as No. 83.
The same project starts one spot higher on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, as Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge kicks off its time on that format-specific ranking at No. 4. It earns the band a second career top 10 and brings the group to a brand new high point on that format-focused list.
Interestingly, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge also brings the group to a new career low on the Official Album Downloads chart, the third and final roster where the set debuts. The title barely manages to become a top 40 bestseller on platforms like iTunes, launching at No. 39. Previously, that distinction was held by May Death Never Stop You, which spent a single turn at No. 32.
The re-released effort reenters both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums charts, coming in at Nos. 5 and 9, respectively. Those are new peak positions for the title on those rosters.
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge was only found on one of these six tallies just a few days ago, before the impact of its twentieth anniversary reissue could be seen. My Chemical Romance was living at No. 11 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, but now, the early career win rockets to No. 1, earning a third turn on the throne.

Bill Gates Reserved A Michelin-Star Restaurant for Two Days — But Chef Says He Didn't Even Try The $313 Meal, Just Ordered a Diet Coke And Left
Billionaire Bill Gates famously has a McDonald's Gold Card and a well-documented love for burgers — but that doesn't mean he's opposed to fine dining. Or... does it? On one trip to Barcelona, Gates treated his team to a private experience at ABaC — not just any restaurant, but one with not one, not two, but three Michelin stars. But according to Spanish celebrity chef Jordi Cruz, what unfolded during the visit wasn't quite what his kitchen had in mind. On an episode of "Planeta Calleja" that aired in 2023, Cruz sat down with host Jesús Calleja and shared a story that had them both shaking their heads—and laughing. Don't Miss: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. According to Cruz, the visit happened "some time ago." No other guests were allowed during his stay — the restaurant was reserved exclusively for Gates' group over a two-day stretch. The team at ABaC rolled out the red carpet, prepping a lineup of the restaurant's most elaborate creations—think caviar, flame-roasted guineafowl with black mole, and strawberry kakigōri topped with tonka beans. So what did Gates order? "A Diet Coke," Cruz said. "And then he went back to his plane." Calleja asked, "He didn't try anything?" "Zero," the chef confirmed, still stunned even years later. "We had prepared the best dishes for him to eat." While Gates' 25-person entourage reportedly did enjoy the tasting menu—priced at roughly $313 per person—Cruz seemed less amused that his kitchen spent two days closed off from other guests, only to see the guest of honor sip a soda and vanish. Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. "Do you think you have to close a nice place to come and drink a cola?" Cruz asked rhetorically. He clarified that the team still gave it their all, even if the star guest wasn't there for the main event. "At least the little team did their best," he added with a laugh. Now 69, Gates is famously known for his love of Diet Coke—often sipping it at meetings, interviews, and even his desk. In a 2014 GatesNotes blog post, he wrote: "Once I'm at the office, I usually open a can of Diet Coke. Over the course of the day I might drink three or four." His fellow billionaire friend Warren Buffett shares the same fizzy loyalty to soda, so perhaps the move wasn't as shocking to those who know him well. Cruz, on the other hand, seemed genuinely baffled. "There are people who have money, who are a bit fed up with everything and value it less," he mused during the show, airing while he and Calleja traveled through Central Greece, bonding over food and rock climbing. Newsweek reportedly reached out to Gates for comment when they first ran the story, but no update or response had been added. As for why Gates skipped the meal himself, it's anyone's guess. His team did dine, so maybe the reservation was more of a thoughtful gesture than a personal craving. Either way, the crew at ABaC probably won't forget the day they cleared the books, prepared a $313 tasting served one Diet Coke to one of the richest men in the world.

In pictures: Princess of Wales, Elton John and Mick Jagger at King's state banquet for Macron
The Princess of Wales and celebrities attended the King's star-studded state banquet on Tuesday, where Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II. On the first day of Macron's state visit, King Charles gave a toast in French and said the three-day trip was another chance to "celebrate a deep and enduring friendship". "What's possibly the most remarkable thing is the way in which the speciality of one country is part of the story of the other," the monarch said. "For centuries, our citizens have admired one another. We've made each other laugh, and we've imitated one another." After the King's speech, Mr Macron told him France had a "real affection for your mother" Queen Elizabeth II, adding he believed the feeling was "reciprocal". "She was your queen," he said. "To us, she was the Queen." He capped off his speech - which repeated his calls for closer relations that he made earlier in the Palace of Westminster - by saying: "In honour of the United Kingdom, of this entente amico that unites our two fraternal peoples in an unwavering alliance. "Long live the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! Long live France!" The Princess of Wales also made her first appearance at a state banquet in almost two years, sitting next to the French president. She last made an appearance at a grand royal dinner in November 2023 in honour of the South Korean president. It comes after she opened up about her "rollercoaster" cancer recovery last week. Also in attendance were Sir Mick Jagger, frontman of The Rolling Stones, who was joined by his fiancee Melanie Hamrick, and Sir Elton John, who was accompanied by his husband David Furnish. Read more from Sky News: Meanwhile, it was announced that the Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the Norman conquest of England, will return to the UK for the first time in more than 900 years, and will feature in an exhibition from September 2026 to July 2027. Mr Macron joked ahead of the state banquet that negotiations to bring the 11th-century artwork back to the UK took longer "than all the Brexit tests". Talks had started as early as 2018.

King Charles Posts Stunning Photo of Himself Standing All Alone in the Rain
When it comes to the royal family, there's never a shortage of iconic photos. Whether it's Prince William and Kate Middleton looking stunning or Queen Camilla and Duchess Sophie serving timeless elegance, the royal archives are basically a style goldmine. King Charles is no exception and Buckingham Palace just dropped another stunning photo of the monarch that has royal fans talking. The post, shared on Monday, July 7, marked the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings in London. To honor the day, King Charles shared a heartfelt written message (complete with his signature) but it's the second slide that truly stood out. The image shows the monarch standing alone in a dark suit during his visit to the memorial site. While others linger in the background, the photo captures a quiet, emotional moment that really speaks volumes. 'Today, as we mark twenty years since the tragic events of 7th July 2005, my heartfelt thoughts and special prayers remain with all those whose lives were forever changed on that terrible Summer's day,' Charles wrote. 'While the horrors will never be forgotten, we may take comfort from the way such events rally communities together in solidarity, solace and determination. It is this spirit of unity that has helped London, and our nation, to heal,' he continued. 'As we remember those we lost, let us therefore use this 20th anniversary to reaffirm our commitment to building a society where people of all faiths and backgrounds can live together with mutual respect and understanding, always standing firm against those who would seek to divide us.' Just last week, royal watchers were treated to another round of King Charles content—this time in a lighter mood. During the historic Ceremony of the Keys at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, he looked especially dapper in a beige blazer, matching trousers, and a bold green-and-red striped tie. The caption read: 'Today, the historic Ceremony of the Keys took place in the Gardens of the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Dating back centuries, this tradition symbolises Edinburgh welcoming its monarch.' Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox? Click here.
