Ouch!

Last week's chart-topper, Incubus' "Light Grenades," sets an undesirable record on The Billboard by dropping to No. 37, the biggest position drop ever from No. 1. Previously, Marilyn Manson's 2003 album "The Golden Age of Grotesque" held the record after sliding to No. 21 in its second week.

That is seriously a bummer. The album managed to grab the number #1 slot last week because it was a relatively slow week, but it was still a way for the name to get thrown out for people to see. The album is at #10 on the iTunes album chart, I'm told, which isn't bad at all. Now it'll probably not move up or down as rapidly on the charts, and will need to rely on it's singles. Speaking of which, Anna Molly managed to reach the number #1 spot on the Modern Rock tracks chart, and moved up to #7 on the Mainstream Rock tracks chart. That's great news, and solid positions for the album release period.
