My Chemical Romance's Album Soars Nearly 3,000% In Sales
My Chemical Romance's deluxe Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge helps the band tie its all-time peak of ... More No. 2 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart. MILAN, ITALY - NOVEMBER 21: My Chemical Romance posed backstage in Milan on November 21 2006. L-R Ray Toro, Frank Iero,Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Bob Bryar (Photo by Mick Hutson/Redferns) My Chemical Romance is enjoying quite the comeback on the Billboard charts this week. The emo band hasn't returned with a long-desired new album, but instead, a revamped version of its sophomore full-length Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, which blasts back onto half a dozen tallies simultaneously. The exciting deluxe edition of the set reaches No. 1 on more than half of the rankings on which it appear, while at the same time, it just barely misses out on becoming the group's first champion on one highly competitive tally. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge Returns at No. 2 Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge reenters the Top Album Sales chart at No. 2. Luminate reports that in the past tracking period, the decades-old set sold 37,000 new copies. The week before the deluxe edition was available, it sold just 1,200. So, the collection experienced an almost 3,000% gain in pure purchases from one frame to the next. My Chemical Romance Matches Its Own Career Peak As Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge returns to the Top Album Sales ranking, My Chemical Romance ties its highest placement ever on the list of the bestselling full-lengths and EPs of any style in the United States. The group previously missed out on a No. 1 by just one rung back in November 2006, when The Black Parade debuted at No. 2. The rockers have seen two other collections — Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys and May Death Never Stop You — stall at Nos. 8 and 9, respectively. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge Reappears at No. 1 While it misses the throne on the Top Album Sales ranking by one space, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge does reappear on the Vinyl Albums, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Alternative Albums charts at No. 1. My Chemical Romance hits the summit for the first time on the vinyl tally and adds to its growing list of leaders on the other three genre-specific rankings. My Chemical Romance Hits the Billboard 200's Top 10 In the past tracking frame, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge moved a total of 43,600 equivalent units, and more than half of those were actual sales. That figure is enough to bring the emo groundbreaker into the top 10 on the Billboard 200, where My Chemical Romance has now scored four wins and where the title also reaches a new high point.

My Chemical Romance's Classic Hits No. 1 For The First Time In Two Decades
My Chemical Romance returns to No. 1 on the U.K.'s Official Rock & Metal Albums chart with Three ... More Cheers for Sweet Revenge, nearly 20 years after its first peak. LONDON - NOVEMBER 05: My Chemical Romance posed in London on November 05 2005. L - R Ray Toro, Mikey Way, Gerard Way, Frank Iero, Bob Bryar (Photo by Naki/Redferns) My Chemical Romance helped bring a developing subgenre of rock music known as emo to the public consciousness in the mid-aughts with its album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. The hardcore effort was filled with clever lyrics, dark imagery, and plenty of angst that appealed to a young audience. The group quickly became global superstars thanks to the project, which produced singles like "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" and "Helena." This week, the set is a major smash in the United Kingdom again, following a special re-release that has turned it into a bestselling title and helped the project climb back to the top. In early June, a deluxe edition of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge was released, and fans picked it up in large numbers. The set included all of the original tunes, remixed versions of them, and several previously unreleased live recordings from the group. That proved to be enough to convince thousands to pick up a copy — though My Chemical Romance's fanbase is so strong that it probably wouldn't have taken much for the title to sell well again. This frame, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge rockets from No. 11 to No. 1 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. The title has now spent 333 weeks on the list of the bestselling efforts in those genres, and just three of those have been at No. 1. The effort hadn't been seen on the throne of the rock ranking since May 2005, just a little over two decades ago, when it earned almost back-to-back stays at the summit. At the same time that Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge returns to No. 1 — its all-time peak on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart — the full-length reaches a new high point on two additional tallies. My Chemical Romance pushes its sophomore set back onto both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums rosters. The project reappears at Nos. 5 and 9, respectively, which mark new best showings for the effort. This week is the first for Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge inside the top 10 on both of those rankings. My Chemical Romance earns its third placement inside that region on the Official Physical Albums chart and its second-ever on the Official Albums ranking, which lists the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the nation.
