According to Hits Daily Double, the album is on pace to debut with 250-265K first week US units. The unit total, as a reminder, combines traditional album sales with equivalent consumption from track streams and track sales.

“GUTS” has been a particularly strong streaming performer, notching the Top 9 slots on Friday’s US Spotify chart.
