A reissue of My Chemical Romance's album "The Black Parade" is the No. 1 album in the country this week, ahead of Olivia Rodrigo and Morgan Wallen, according to The New York Times. The Times reported the result in an article by Steve Knopper, published November 9, 2026.

The Times headline asks how My Chemical Romance came to top the chart with an album it describes as 20 years old. The summary attached to the report does not answer that question.

The summary states that the reissue topped the chart this week but does not say how many copies the album sold, what the reissue contains, or which chart ranked it. It also includes no statement from My Chemical Romance, Olivia Rodrigo, Morgan Wallen, or any record label.

The summary describes the result as applying to this week only, so it does not indicate whether the album will keep its position in later weeks. The headline gives the album's age as 20 years, but neither the headline nor the summary gives a release year for the original album.

Every fact in this account comes from the Times headline and summary, and no other reporting on the result has been reviewed for this story. Readers seeking the reasons behind the result can consult the full article, Steve Knopper's report in The New York Times on the reissue's chart success.
