Chart Final: Parade Rout
Reprise’s My Chemical Romance takes the #1 spot on this Halloween-adjacent iteration of the HITS Top 50 with the 20th anniversary edition of their seminal set The Black Parade. The retooled alternative gem nets 70k in its opening frame, 60k+ of that in pure sales. Aaron Bay-Schuck, WMG’s Tom Corson and team are slathering on the guyliner for the last of the band’s five shows at the Hollywood Bowl, which happens to transpire on Halloween. Look for an endless parade of black-clad fans up Highland.
The biggest debut is Heavy Is the Crown (APESHIT/Mass Appeal/EMPIRE), a collaborative effort by hip-hop luminaries Anderson .Paak and Cordae, which amasses a princely 30k, good for a Top 10 coronet.
Contemporary Christian troubadour Josiah Queen, meanwhile, kneels at #16 with Damascus Road (Capitol CMG).
BLACKPINK member LISA’s PRESS PLAY (LLOUD Co./RCA) premieres at #36, saying “SaWaDiKa” to nearly 18k.
Speaking of 20th anniversary reissues, a refurbished version of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black (Republic) makes an appearance in the Top 50.
This week sees new releases by Columbia’s Dominic Fike, Broken Bow’s Dustin Lynch, Republic’s Kaitlin Butts, UnitedMasters’ BigXthaPlug and Matador’s Queens of the Stone Age, as well as an indie drop by rockers Nickelback.
Now hand over that bag of candy, kid—daddy’s gonna do some quality control.
