Amid Allegations Of Sexual Violence, Marilyn Manson's Digital Music Sales Rose 40 Percent

JAKARTA - Marilyn Manson's latest single, Don't Chase The Dead has been knocked off Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, a week after women accused the rocker of sexual assault and harassment.

Don't Chase The Dead, a song from last year's Manson album We Are Chaos, slipped out of Mainstream Rock Airplay's top 40 after spending 12 weeks on the charts. Last week it was in the 34th position.

Total on-demand streams of Manson's songs rose 7 percent in the week ending February 4 to 6 million. Its digital sales reached 2,000, an increase of 40 percent.

Last week, actress Evan Rachel Wood named Manson a perpetrator of sexual assault in an Instagram post.

“The name of the perpetrator of the violence against me is Brian Warner who is also known as Marilyn Manson. He started manipulating me as a teenager and abusing me for years, ”Wood wrote.

The Thirteen player also shared that his brain was 'washed' until he obeyed Manson. Now Wood is not afraid to reveal the name of the perpetrator after covering it up for no apparent reason.

“I am here to expose this dangerous man and summon the industry that allows (Manson), before he destroys other people's lives. I stand with many victims who will not be silent, "said Wood closing his writing.

After Wood, several other women also shared their experiences and claimed Manson did the same. The victims were severely traumatized and were recovering even though the incident had passed.

One day later, Manson denied allegations of sexual violence, both made by Wood and by other women.

"Art and my life are clearly magnets for controversy, but claims about me recently are a creepy distortion of reality," Manson said via his Instagram account on February 2.

“My intimate relationship is always done on a consensual basis with my partner. Regardless of how and why they choose to interpret the past, it is the truth. "
