My Chemical Romance Ties AC/DC for Second-Most Current Hits on UK Rock Chart

34, marking the band’s fourth concurrent entry on the list. The track, originally released in September 2010 as the lead single from *Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys*, first debuted at No. 1 on the same chart in the fall of that year and spent four weeks at the summit. Its latest appearance brings the song to its thirty-fifth week on the tally, the first time it has charted since June 2022 and the first top-25 placement since March 2013 (when it peaked at No. 25).

In the same week, three additional My Chemical Romance songs occupy the chart: “Welcome to the Black Parade” climbs from No. 10 to No. 8; “Famous Last Words” rises to No. 14; and “Helena” moves up to No. 18. All four tracks have previously reached the top of the ranking. “Welcome to the Black Parade” holds the longest cumulative presence, logging 887 weeks—over 17 years—on the chart.

The band’s resurgence coincides with the ongoing “Long Live The Black Parade” tour, launched in 2025 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of *The Black Parade*. By securing four simultaneous chart entries, My Chemical Romance now ties AC/DC for the second-most current hits on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, each group occupying four slots. Only Linkin Park exceeds both, maintaining six positions on the list.

The band’s renewed chart performance underscores a broader revival of early-2000s rock acts in the United Kingdom, with both legacy and newer releases gaining traction through combined sales and streaming metrics. The concurrent presence of multiple My Chemical Romance tracks highlights the lasting appeal of the group’s catalog and suggests that anniversary-linked touring can translate into measurable chart gains for veteran rock artists.
