After one week from its release on November 22nd, the first week chart results are in for Marilyn Manson's "One Assassination Under God - Chapter 1". Though most of Manson's previous albums have landed in the top ten overall albums, that Manson now did well on the charts especially in genre specific ones should be seen as a positive when you consider there has been very little promotion for this album with his recent signing under a new label. Moreover most music publications that have had negative stories about Manson for the past few years chose to ignore the release altogether, choosing to focus on his scandals over the past few weeks rather than his music. It also was released at the same time as other more major releases in recent weeks, including the fact that six classic Christmas albums took higher spots showing many people are focused on getting in the holiday spirit.
