Nearly 20 years after its release, “Helena” by My Chemical Romance has officially gone 4× Platinum—and honestly, are we even surprised?
Originally released in 2005 as part of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, “Helena” wasn’t just a song—it was the soundtrack to every eyeliner-smudged, scream-in-your-bedroom moment of the mid-2000s. With its dramatic funeral scene, haunting lyrics, and Gerard Way’s emotional vocals, it quickly became one of the most iconic tracks of the entire emo era.
Now, two decades later, it’s still hitting just as hard—and racking up the accolades to prove it.
So long and goodnight? Not anytime soon.
