Industry forecasters estimate that I like it when you sleep... could move around 100,000 equivalent album units in its first week of sales, which would be good enough for a number-one debut.
Additionally, four cuts from I like it when you sleep... have already reached the top 20 on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart: "Love Me," “Ugh!," "The Sound" and "Somebody Else."
I like it when you sleep is also on track to debut at number one in the U.K., The 1975's home country. The band's 2013 self-titled debut album also reached the top of the U.K.'s Official Albums Chart, while it peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200.
The 1975 will be touring the U.S. this spring in support of I like it when you sleep... starting April 18 in Los Angeles.
