My Chemical Romance march their way to first UK Number 1 album with The Black Parade

The Black Parade marches to Number 1! Some 20 years after its original release, My Chemical Romance finally claim their first UK chart-topping album. 

The seminal record celebrates its 20th anniversary with a bumper reissue featuring unreleased tracks, rare live recordings and more. 

Originally a Number 2 hit in November 2006, The Black Parade marks the beginning of a string of Top 20 albums for the American four-piece. 

Now, two decades on, they finally go one better. The Black Parade gets the Number 1 its legacy deserves.

Similarly, Amy Winehouse's second studio album Back to Black marks its own 20th anniversary with an expanded reissue, returning to the Top 5 at Number 4. 

Welsh rock icons Manic Street Preachers secure their 16th Top 10 album with The Holy Bible Live (10). 

Black Sabbath co-founder Tony Iommi makes his solo Top 40 debut, as From The Dark enters at Number 11. 

A huge congratulations to British singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka, whose fifth LP FUDGE lands at Number 13. 

And there's a mighty leap for RAYE, whose former Number 1 THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. rockets 73 places to Number 15 following its triumphant win at this year's Mercury Prize. 

Elsewhere, kudos to Irish musician Muireann Bradley, who becomes the youngest female artist to top the Official Jazz & Blues Albums Chart since Katie Melua in 2004, thanks to her EP Blackwood Pew.
