“Twelve Carat Toothache,” the follow-up to Post Malone’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” will not debut with nearly as many opening week US album sales or consumption units.

It may, however, still challenge for #1 on the Billboard 200.

According to Hits Daily Double, the new album should debut with about 115-130K total US consumption units (album sales + units from track sales + units from track streams). Hits did not provide a specific breakdown of actual sales and sales equivalents.

That total could be enough for #1, but Bad Bunny’s impressively enduring “Un Verano Sin Ti” may land in a similar range.

The aforementioned “Hollywood’s Bleeding” debuted with 200K in US album sales and 489K in total opening week US units.
