Their first chart-topping album, *Infinity on High*, was released in 2007, followed by *Save Rock and Roll* in 2013, *American Beauty/American Psycho* in 2015, and *Mania* in 2018.
After the band went on hiatus in late 2009, Stump ventured into a solo career, debuting with his album *Soul Punk* on October 18, 2011, which was prefaced by the EP *Truant Wave* earlier that year. He toured extensively across the US and Europe to promote his work.
Fall Out Boy made a triumphant return in February 2013 with *Save Rock and Roll* and later released the EP *PAX AM Days*. Their sixth album, *American Beauty/American Psycho*, and seventh album, *Mania*, both debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, reaffirming their status in the music industry.
