My Chemical Romance‘s third studio album, 2006’s rock opera “The Black Parade“, has just served up the emo rock stars another piece of hardware. That full-length was newly certified 4x multi-platinum in the United States by the RIAA today, December 12th.
The record was last certified 3x multi-platinum back in December of 2017. That opus served up the band’s two biggest hits to date in the form of the 5x multi-platinum “Welcome To The Black Parade” and the 4x multi-platinum single “Teenagers“.

Outside of traditional physical/digital sales, the certifications factor in digital streams/downloads with 10 permanent track downloads counting as 1 unit and 1500 on-demand audio/video streams from a particular album also counting as as a unit.
