Marilyn Manson Misses Charting His First No. 1 Hit — Again
Despite serious allegations of abuse and multiple court cases, Marilyn Manson's fanbase has remained steadfast and stuck by his side for years now. The rocker has largely evaded facing consequences for multiple accusations, and is once again on the path to musical stardom.
He demonstrated his continued popularity with Assassination Under God – Chapter 1, his latest album, which arrived in late 2024. That set produced a handful of successful singles in the rock space, and now the controversial musician is back with another tune.
Manson recently released a cover of "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. His take on the pop/rock classic is predictably darker thanks to the fact that he added his own twist to the cut, and that move seems to have resonated with many of his followers. The track was issued as a CD single and made available in extremely limited quantities, as only 4,000 copies were produced. There was clearly interest in new work from the rocker, as the song sold out almost immediately.
In the United Kingdom, "In the Air Tonight" appears on three rosters that track pure purchases. It opens highest on the Official Physical Singles chart, which makes sense, given Manson's focus on the CD format. The tune starts at No. 2, just missing out on opening in the top spot.
Only one tune, "It's Amazing to Be Young" by Fontaines D.C., kept Manson from hitting No. 1. That cut vaults from No. 78, where it debuted the previous frame, to the top spot.
Manson has never reached the summit on the Official Physical Singles chart, though he's come close before. In 2020, he peaked at No. 2 with his version of the American folk song "God's Gonna Cut You Down." Looking at his discography, Manson has landed five tracks inside the top 10 on that tally out of 17 total appearances.
"In the Air Tonight" also manages to become a bestseller on two other rankings. It launches at No. 15 on the general Official Singles Sales chart and comes in at No. 37 on the Official Singles Downloads tally. That performance shows that fans of the rocker preferred to buy the track in a physical format, rather than downloading it on platforms like iTunes.

Vin Diesel Vows To Bring Back LA Street Racing in Fast and Furious Finale
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In what could come as a pleasant surprise to racing fans and petrolheads, Hollywood star Vin Diesel has confirmed that the Fast and Furious finale will hit theaters in April 2027, delivering three fan-requested elements, including the long-awaited return of street racing to the streets of Los Angeles. Diesel has been synonymous with Fast and Furious, given his role as Dominic Toretto in the series that began as a street racing movie in 2001. Another popular and much-loved face of Fast and Furious alongside Diesel was Paul Walker, who passed away in a tragic car accident in 2013. Now, Diesel has confirmed that Fast and Furious will end the long journey classically by satisfying the three wishes that fans made. While the first two are the return to Los Angeles and the revival of street racing, the last one was most surprising. Vin Diesel attends the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 02, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California.

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic Speaking at 'FuelFest,' a car culture festival co-founded by Walker's brother, Cody, Diesel spoke to a large audience and opened up on the conditions he put to Universal Studios to produce the final chapter of Fast and Furious. He said: "It's been a long journey. As you all know, we have been working very hard to bring you the finale. "This culture, our franchise, is only made possible because of the love that you all have for this culture called the car culture. So I just wanted to say — first, let me just say I'm so proud of Tyrese and Cody for what they've been doing here at Fuel Fest. Give it up for them, please. "Just yesterday I was with Universal Studios — does anyone know Universal Studios? The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of Fast and Furious April 2027?' "I said, 'Under three conditions — under three conditions. Because I've been listening to my fan base. I have been listening to all of you who have been asking for three things. "The first is to bring the franchise back to LA. Fast and Furious is coming back to LA! "The second thing was to return to the car culture — to the street racing. "Oh, this is good. You want to know what the third thing was? Does anybody want to know what the third thing was? "The third third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Connor. That is what you're going to get in the finale. "Love you." Walker passed away while filming for Fast and Furious 7. The remainder of his role was completed with the help of CGI and his brothers Cody and Caleb. Similar techniques could likely be used for Fast and Furious 11.

Marilyn Manson's U.K. Tour Opener Canceled Amid Backlash
The opening date of Marilyn Manson U.K. tour—originally set for Oct. 29 at the Brighton Centre—has officially been canceled following public backlash, political pressure and an open letter from a member of Parliament urging city officials to pull the show. On Saturday, fans who went online to contact Ticketmaster received a message saying 'this event has been cancelled.' The show was also removed from Manson's official website, confirming that the U.K. leg of the One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1 Tour will now begin on Oct. 31 in Bournemouth. More from Billboard Fans Choose KATSEYE's 'Beautiful Chaos' as This Week's Favorite New Music Olivia Rodrigo Brings Out The Cure's Robert Smith at Glastonbury 2025 Dua Lipa Covers 'Nothing Compares 2 U' in Honor of Sinead O'Connor in Dublin The cancellation follows a formal letter from Green MP Siân Berry, addressed to Brighton & Hove City Council leader Councillor Bella Sankey, calling for the show to be canceled at the publicly owned venue. The letter was co-signed by victim support organizations and the University of Sussex Student Union. In the letter, Berry cited 'multiple allegations of sexual assault, grooming and domestic violence' made against Manson in recent years. 'Many survivors in Brighton and Hove, and organizations supporting them, will have very serious concerns about this booking and its impact on other people visiting the city centre, local residents and the wider community,' Berry wrote. 'Freedom of expression is an important principle that should be defended, including in relation to artists, but there is an obvious risk to community cohesion.' An activist group called No Stage for Abusers also urged Brighton Centre and the city council to cancel the show through an online campaign. Manson—whose legal name is Brian Warner—was named in 2021 by actress Evan Rachel Wood as her alleged abuser, leading to more women coming forward with similar claims. Multiple civil lawsuits have since been filed against the singer, accusing him of sexual assault, harassment, and grooming. Manson has denied all allegations. In January, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced that it would not file criminal charges, citing the expiration of the statute of limitations and insufficient evidence. The alleged incidents occurred between 2009 and 2011 in West Hollywood. Berry acknowledged the absence of criminal charges but referenced council policies that support listening to survivors and protecting community safety. 'The level and nature of the accusations against Warner are concerning enough alone, but so too is the message sent out by providing a platform for this individual, at our city's biggest publicly owned venue, and what this will mean to survivors,' she said. 'We believe a solution must be found and that, despite these difficulties, the Council should act in line with its obligations to our values and the serious concerns around public safety and community cohesion.' Manson and his representatives have not yet commented publicly on the cancellation. Stories about sexual assault allegations can be traumatizing for survivors of sexual assault. If you or anyone you know needs support, you can reach out to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). The organization provides free, confidential support to sexual assault victims. Call RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline ( or visit the anti-sexual violence organization's website for more information.
