Marilyn Manson topped the charts with his new single, ‘As Sick As The Secrets Within’ despite the legal battle.
The singer’s new song has become a hit by debuting at Number 1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. ‘As Sick As The Secrets Within’ is Manson’s second Number 1 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. He first reached Number 1 in 2020 with ‘We Are Chaos,’ which topped the chart for just one week during the Covid-19 pandemic.
When Manson released the track on August 2, fans generally made positive comments. “His voice, the lyrics. He sounds so good!! He’s sober, healthy, and better than ever! I can’t wait to see him next month,” one person said.
Another commenter wrote, “He honestly has not sounded this good since the early 2000’s in my opinion. This is exactly the sort of songs that made me obsessed with his music, to begin with, and I am taken aback by how emotional this made me.”
They added, “Fearing the glory days were over for my favorite artist of all time, an artist that opened my eyes to a whole new world of music, art, and literature, and in some ways helped shape the person I am today, was really affecting me more than I realized until I heard this track and felt this huge feeling of relief over hearing such a solid track from the man himself.”
One other individual noted, “Music doesn’t make me feel much these days. But hearing Manson sounding clean, healthy, and 20+ years younger has filled my heart with such emotional joy. Welcome back, Brian. The glory days are back! Congratulations.”
Manson gets his first new Number 1 hit in four years. After his first top spot in August 2020, he had another top 10 hit the next month. Since then, he has been busy dealing with legal issues and serious abuse accusations. Last month, Bianca Allaine Kyne, who filed a sexual assault lawsuit against him in January 2023, revealed her identity. She accuses Manson of sexual misconduct and abuse during the 1990s.
