My Chemical Romance’s Album Soars Nearly 3,000% In Sales

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.
