According to numbers obtained by DJ Akademiks, Latto’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea will do between 25 and 35K first week in streaming. Add pure sales to that; you are looking at about 26k to 38K.
Latto’s ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’ is expected to debut with 33-45M on-demand streams in the US first week (25-35K SEA units; excluding pure sales, she will outsell dj mustard). pic.twitter.com/TMFFIdF2XZ

That would be the best opening of Latto’s career. Queen of da Souf did 14K, and 777 24K.
But the number she really needs to beat is the 28K Ice Spice’s Y2K! album just did first week.
While Ice and Latto both deny it, they have been engaged in low-grade beef for mohts.
