The last time Fall Out Boy released an album, early 2007's Infinity On High, the Chicago group scored a couple of personal bests: their first #1 debut and a first-week high of nearly 260,000 copies sold.

It's different this time. With very little major competition in a fairly quiet late 2008 release period, FOB's Folie à Deux will just manage to sneak into the top 10 next week at #8 on sales of just over 149,000, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.

Despite a single declaring "I Don't Care" and a media blitz that included an aborted free show in a New York park and some salty bedroom talk from bassist Pete Wentz on "The Howard Stern Show," FOB were bested in their chart debut by R&B singers Keyshia Cole — whose Different Me landed at #2 on sales of more than 321,000 — and Jamie Foxx, whose Intuition logged 265,000 for a #3 debut.

Holding strong at #1 for the second week was what appears to be the Christmas season go-to album, Taylor Swift's Fearless, which logged another 330,000 units, pushing the country singer's album past the 1.8 million in sales mark in just six weeks.

The new debuts squeezed Britney Spears' Circus down two spots to #4 on sales of 195,000, pushing Brit's latest close to the one million mark, followed by Beyoncé's I Am ... Sasha Fierce, which dipped two spots, trailing Spears by just over 300 copies.

The rest of the top 10 was merely shuffled, with Nickelback's Dark Horse stumbling two spots down to #6 with 194,000 in sales, followed by the soundtrack to "Twilight" with 155,000, AC/DC's still-strong Black Ice at #9 with 142,000 more satisfied Wal-Mart customers, and the Now 29 compilation rounding out the top 10 with 138,000.

Other debuts outside the top 10 include Plies with Da Realist at #14 on sales of 114,000, followed closely behind by the All-American Rejects' When the World Comes Down, which moved a shade over 111,000. The news was not as good for Souljaboy Tellem, whose iSouljaBoyTellem quietly debuted at #43 with 45,000 in sales. Punk veterans the Offspring also made it onto the charts, although way down at #186, with just over 8,000 copies of their latest, Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace.

A couple of last week's big debuts took serious hits, with sales of Brandy's Human falling more than 60 percent, dropping from #15 to #66. Musiq Soulchild's On My Radio suffering a similar double-digit plunge in sales, dropping that album from #11 to #52, and Common's Universal Mind Control shedded just under 60 percent of its previous week's sales with 34,000 units shifted, to drop from #12 to #56.   Not surprisingly, it was a week of double-digit gains for a slew of Christmas-themed albums, with titles from Enya, Faith Hills, Elvis Presley, Yo-Yo Ma all enjoying healthy jumps, as well as the soundtrack to "Mamma Mia," which skated up 16 spots to #18 for one of its best sales weeks since its chart debut back in August.

Topping all those critics' year-end lists seems to have helped TV on the Radio, since their Dear Science had its third-best week of sales (4,600) since the album debuted on the charts back in September.
