The South Korean supergroup's highly anticipated album "Arirang" debuted on Spotify's Countdown Chart, the streaming service announced on Wednesday.

Also in the Top 10 are Bruno Mars' "The Romantic," Joji's "Piss in the Wind," and Louis Tomlinson's "How Did I Get Here?"

"We know, we’re excited too," Spotify said on X. "This week’s Countdown Chart is STACKED with [BTS] landing at the top spot."

"Arirang" has already garnered 2.29 million pre-saves on Spotify, less than a week since it was announced.
