October 30, 2026

My Chemical Romance has scored its first U.K. chart-topping album as The Black Parade (Warner Records) marches to the top of the chart 20 years after its original release.

The band’s third LP, The Black Parade hit #2 on the Official Albums Chart in November 2006. Its new, 20th anniversary reissue features unreleased tracks and rare live recordings.

And there’s another seminal album in today’s Top 5: The late Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black (Island/UMR) rockets from #112 to #4 following the arrival of a 20th anniversary expanded reissue.

Manic Street Preachers land their 16th Top 10 album with The Holy Bible Live (Sony) at #10, while Black Sabbath co-founder Tony Iommi makes his solo Top 40 debut with From the Dark (BMG), entering at #11.

The fifth LP by British singer-songwriter Michael Kiwanuka, FUDGE (Polydor), debuts at #13. RAYE’s THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE. (Human Re Sources) explodes 73 places to #15 following its Mercury Prize win.

On the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart, Jamie Miller remains at #1 with “Babydoll” (Republic) for a second week. The Cardiff-born singer-songwriter keeps Tate McRae’s “Housewife” (Ministry of Sound) at #2, while Ashe’s “Stop the Wedding!” (Atlantic) rebounds one to #3, matching the Californian singer’s personal best.

JADE’s “Angel of My Dreams” (Sony) is back in the Top 40, at #13, for the first time since 2024. Initially released that July, the track peaked at #7, becoming the Little Mix singer’s first solo Top 10 hit following the group’s hiatus. It has enjoyed a 328.8% week-over-week surge after providing aural to Kylie Jenner’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway debut.

Just in time for Halloween, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (MJJ Productions) shimmies 22 places to #17, enjoying a 61.4% WOW boost. The King of Pop’s seasonal favorite reached a new U.K. peak of #9 in November 2025, some 42 years after its original release.

Harry Styles claims the week’s highest climber as “Coming Up Roses” blasts 24 places, from #59 to #35, thanks to the arrival of its companion video. The artist’s 30-night Madison Square Garden residency concludes this weekend.
