American industrial metal band Marilyn Manson has released nine studio albums, one live album, one compilation album, two EPs, twenty-four singles, nine promo singles, five DVDs, and thirty-three music videos.

After forming in 1989[1] and signing a contract with Nothing Records and Interscope in 1993, the band released their first studio album, Portrait of an American Family (1994). Although initially not a commercial success, the album would eventually be certified gold by the RIAA for shipments in excess of 500,000 copies.[2] Spurred by their hit single – a version of the Eurythmics's "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" – the band's first EP, Smells Like Children (1995), became a commercial success, selling over a million copies in the US alone. In 1996, the band released their second studio album, Antichrist Superstar, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200[3] and has sold over 1.9 million copies in the US.[4] The album went on to sell over 7 million copies worldwide,[5] and was supported by the release of 1997's Remix & Repent EP. Their third studio album, Mechanical Animals (1998), was a commercial and critical success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200,[3] as well topping the charts in as Australia and Canada. Mechanical Animals was later followed by their first live album,The Last Tour on Earth (1999), which included the promotional single "Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes".

In 2000, the band released Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death), which managed to sell more than 9 million copies worldwide.[6] Their fifth studio album, The Golden Age of Grotesque (2003), was a modest commercial success in their native US, debuting at No. 1 with sales of 118,000 copies.[7] As of November 2008, the album has sold 526,000 copies in the US.[8] In contrast, the album was, by far, Manson's most successful internationally, peaking within the top five in most of the major European markets. Their sixth album, Eat Me, Drink Me, was released in 2007 and debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200. The High End of Low (2009), reached No. 4 on both the US and Canadian album charts,[3] but was their last album released by Interscope. After signing a deal with Cooking Vinyl, the band released Born Villain in 2012. Their ninth studio album, The Pale Emperor, was released on January 20, 2015, debuting at No. 8 in the US with their highest first week sales since Eat Me, Drink Me in 2007.

Notes

  1. "Remix & Repent" originally peaked at No. 163 on the UK Singles Chart as an import. When it was officially released as a single, it was deemed ineligible to enter the UK Singles Chart by the Official Charts Company, as it exceeded the maximum track length for a release to be considered a single; it did, however, peak at number one on the UK Budget Albums Chart.[38]
  2. "The Dope Show" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number 22 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, which acts as a 25-song extension to the Hot 100.[35]
  3. "Personal Jesus" did not enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked at number 24 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, which acts as a 25-song extension to the Hot 100.[35]
  4. "No Reflection" also peaked at No. 50 on the US Rock Songs chart.[35]
