## Summary

My Chemical Romance’s *The Black Parade* has risen from No. 139 to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, 20 years after its release. The album reached the top in its 162nd week on the chart, after a 20th anniversary deluxe edition renewed interest in it.

The deluxe edition adds six tracks to the original 14: three B-sides and three live recordings. When the album debuted at No. 2 in November 2006, it was edged out by the *Hannah Montana* soundtrack. That week’s top 10 featured five rock bands, while six albums produced at least one top 10 hit on the Hot 100.
