Luckily it wasn't that, I was really worried for a second. Problem solved though! What was wrong was the idler pulley. The bearings inside were crushed and just warn out so it stoped it from spinning freely. Because of that, the friction between the serpentine belt and the idler pulley stoped it from moving. Thank God! It was an easy fix so I swapped it out and it's perfect now.

Wow that was one trashed idler. Drive with the radio on all the time and loud? It had to have been making noise for a while to get that bad. Glad it was something simple.
