• Black Parade (song) → Black Parade
• Black Parade → Black Parade (disambiguation)

– Although this song only came out last week, the other topics are not directly called "Black Parade", they are usually related to the hit My Chemical Romance song that has "the" in front of it. This is the only subject specifically titled "Black Parade". JE98 (talk) 20:27, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose – Not the primary search topic for the term "Black parade". Nahnah4 (talk | contribs) 22:24, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose - The Black Parade seems to be the primary topic despite recentism, and will very likely have more long-term significance.--NØ 10:47, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
• Agree – "The Black Parade" and "Black Parade" are unlikely to be confused with one another and it is highly unlikely a 14 year old album will maintain more long-term significance than a charity single released by a much bigger artist about a much more historical topic. --StatsFreak (talk) 02:58, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose - Premeditated (talk) 08:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose, because "this song only came out last week". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:46, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: It is honestly too soon to say if this song will be the primary topic since it was released so recently. This conversation could be reopened in a year or two, but right now does not seem like an appropriate time. Aoba47 (talk) 06:02, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Chart table

Billboard Hot 100 peak in "Charts" table should read 37 not 77. Already correct in the "Commercial performance" section.

See this article for confirmation:

I tried to edit the Table but don't know how they work, ie the {{ }} tags for certain entries.

Frequent vandalism

The user 2600:1002:B103:1747:BCC2:BF6C:6919:2156 (also 2600:1002:B103:1747:6991:C4DC:49A3:28F5) keeps changing the chart peaks to complete innacurate info.

Can this article have a lock?
