All right, the results are in: It was close, but Fall Out Boy won our clash of the titans with Folie A Deux debuting at No. 8 with 150,000 sold. The All-American Rejects' When The World Comes Down came in seven spots back at No. 15, with 112,000 units shifted. That means the winner of my "guess the winner" contest is...
beener48, who guessed FOB would debut at No. 1 (whoops!) with total sales of 148,000. His guess was the closest to 150k I received (the position number would've only been used for a tie breaker). beener48, send an email to editorial@altpress.com with the subject line "CONTEST WINNER" and include your full name, address and T-shirt size (also, tell me which shirt you want out of our store).
As for the rest of you, thanks for participating -- and I'm still shocked that no one picked AAR. This was actually a lot closer of a race than you think, especially when you figure that FOB's Infinity On High sold 260,000 copies its first week and AAR's Move Along did only 90,000 its first week. Looks like one band is on the rise and one's on the decline...
In other news, I called 911 for the first time last night -- I was driving from Cleveland to Chicago through an absolutely awful storm, and in my rear view mirror, I saw a semi truck jackknife into the grassy median, then flip over. It was super intense. I hope the driver is okay, and that his or her holiday season only improves from here.

Who needs cat-lovin' Tim Karan when we've got people-savin' Scott Heisel?
Merry Christmas. :)
I think I saw this on the turnpike! I was coming from Chicago to Ohio on 80/90 that night. Quite the accident, I must say. Westbound traffic was backed up about a mile. =/
