Marilyn Manson has a Number 1 record. His latest release �The Golden Age of Grotesque,� sold 118,000 copies the first week, landing the controversial star at No. 1 on the Billboard album charts. 

This was a modest jump for Manson from the first week sales of his last studio album, �Holy Wood: In the Valley of the Shadow of Death,� which moved 117,000 copies it�s first week. 

Elsewhere on the charts, Manson kept 50 Cent out of the No. 1 spot. �Get Rich or Die Tryin�� lands at No. 2 with sales of 106,000 units. Cold comes in third with a triumphant return with their new CD �Year of the Spider� enjoying first week sales of 101,000 units. 

Third Eye Blind�s new one �Out of the Vein� sold 63,000 units debuting on the charts at No. 12. 

Manson will face stiff competition this week from Staind�s new album �14 Shades of Grey�. That group�s last album enjoyed first week sales of 716,000 copies.
