- Driven by the 20th-anniversary deluxe reissue, the album earned 78,000 equivalent album units during the tracking week, boosted by availability across more than 20 physical variants including signed editions.

- The quartet recently completed a five-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, with their tour featuring "Welcome to the Black Parade" and "Teenagers" slated to wrap Nov. 22 in Indonesia.
