Could have a bad idler pulley, or another bad pulley, or the belt isn't tight enough. Check all pulley bearings for play.
I also would recommend getting the Gatorback belt as it has a much grippier surface

I replaced my harmonic balancer too, but I found that if the belt isn't tight enough, it'll still fall off.
Learned the hard way when I was going 90 on a 5 mile bridge and ended up getting towed home and cleaning my whole engine compartment off from coolant and tranny fluid.
