Both Marilyn Manson and Falling in Reverse dropped new albums in 2024, mounting long-awaited comebacks. The two sets, spaced out months apart from one another, were welcomed warmly by fans and preceded by a handful of singles, many of which became charting successes. The two hard rock musical outfits have now teamed up for a shared tune, which has quickly become a bestseller in the United Kingdom.
Falling in Reverse recruited Manson to feature on "God Is a Weapon," a new single released to coincide with the announcement of a tour of the same name. The band, fronted by Ronnie Radke, announced that the venture will start in August and finish in September, traveling across the United States. Opening acts like Wage War, Hollywood Undead, and Sleep Theory will join the bill at various points.
"God Is a Weapon" is a standalone single for the moment, and it has already become a quick bestseller in the U.K. The tune opens at No. 67 on the Official Singles Downloads chart. It also starts off at No. 70 on the Official Singles Sales list, which includes both downloads and physical purchases.
Manson collects his fifth career placement on the Official Singles Sales chart as "God Is a Weapon" debuts. He has landed seven appearances on the downloads-only tally. He hasn't stayed away from these tallies for very long, as it's only been weeks since his last new hit. Manson last reached these rankings earlier this month with his cover of "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, which was a top 40 bestseller on both lists.
Falling in Reverse earns a fifth career win on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts this week. The group hasn't appeared on either tally since July 2023, when "Last Resort" also became a top 40 seller in the U.K.

Britain Gets a Steel Tariff Carve-Out, but Europe Pays Double
Britain breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday after it was granted a carve-out from President Trump's 50 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum imported to the United States, while the rest of Europe fumed that it was now paying twice as much. The exemption for British exports was granted because the country had already agreed to the framework of a trade deal, which was announced to much fanfare on May 8. But Britain's steel industry is still frustrated that it faces 25 percent tariffs because the pact has yet to be put into place. And Britain still faces the prospect of 50 percent tariffs on those goods starting July 9 if London has not ironed out a final deal with Washington. 'This is a time-bound vote of confidence for U.K. steelmaking and our industry's ability to supply to the U.S. market, but in many ways also creates further uncertainty, which is disruptive,' said UK Steel, an industry trade group. Some customers in the United States are still ordering semifinished steel from Marcegaglia Stainless Sheffield in Britain's Midlands, said Christian Bruggmann, the company's chief operating officer. Britain is better positioned than producers from other countries that have to pay the higher tariff, but the latest wrinkle 'creates more uncertainty,' he added. Some of Marcegaglia's steel is processed through Sweden and Italy and would be subjected to the 50 percent tariffs. And company executives worry that Europe will be swamped by exports from countries like China and Indonesia, increasing competition for European steel. 'The competition will be even worse,' Mr. Bruggmann said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Ford recalls nearly half a million Explorers due to door trim issue
WASHINGTON -- Ford is recalling nearly half a million older Explorer models because part of the door trim can detach while driving and cause a dangerous road hazard, U.S. auto safety regulators said Wednesday. A notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the recall covers 492,145 Ford Explorers, model years 2016-2017. The vehicles were produced between June 11, 2015 and April 19, 2017. Ford Motor Co. first recognized the problem as far back as 2019, but did not consider it an 'unreasonable risk to safety," the NHTSA report said. In March of this year, the NHTSA shared with Ford dozens of vehicle owner reports of the problem, leading Ford to further investigate it, eventually leading to the recall. Ford concluded that lack of proper adhesion was causing the trim to loosen, adding that it is unaware of accidents or injuries related to the defect. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker expects to start sending notification letters to owners on June 9. When a remedy to fix the faulty part has been determined, owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicles into a Ford or Lincoln dealership to have the trim fixed at no cost. The NHTSA recall number is 25V347. The manufacturer's recall number is 25S53.
