Kerrang! Award - Won for Best Band on the Planet in 2006

The Best Band On The Planet Award this year went to a band that has seen their musical career soar to extraordinary heights within the last two years. New Jersey goth-rockers My Chemical Romance have enamoured a massive fan base very quickly, and with the hit singles 'I'm Not OK (I Promise)' and 'Helena' tapping into the mood of disaffected youth everywhere, they've maintained a steady rise through the ranks to become one of the most popular alternative rock bands world-wide.

The band will go head to head with British metal group Enter Shikari at top nominations including Best Single and Best Album. MCR's 'Welcome to the Black Parade' will battle in the Best Single category with Shikari's 'Sorry, You're Not a Winner'. Both are also tied against each other for Best Album for 'The Black Parade' and 'Take to the Skies' respectively.
