My Chemical Romance's album The Black Parade, now 20 years old, has reached the top of the Billboard 200, according to two outlets that attribute the chart position to a reissue of the record.

Billboard reported that the album is belatedly ascending to the chart's top spot because of an anniversary reissue. Its weekly feature, "Five Burning Questions," written by Eric Renner Brown and published November 4, examines the move and describes the album as a beloved record. The piece is available on Billboard's chart coverage.

The New York Times reported that a reissue of The Black Parade topped Olivia Rodrigo and Morgan Wallen for the No. 1 album in the country this week. The article, by Steve Knopper and published November 5, carries a headline asking how the band topped the chart with a 20-year-old album. Readers can find the full report at The New York Times.

Both outlets credit the reissue for the album's chart position and both describe the record as 20 years old. Neither source gives sales figures, chart-week totals, or the reissue's release date. The Billboard summary places the album on the Billboard 200, while the New York Times summary describes its No. 1 position without naming the chart, so the sources do not state whether the two rankings are the same.
