Surprise! Fans of K Pop group BTS have created a little chaos on the charts this morning.

BTS star Jung Kook is number 1 on iTunes in a duet with Charlie Puth. Their song, “Left and Right,” toppled new releases from Beyonce and Taylor Swift for the top position.

Swift, like the two men, dropped a new single last night. Beyonce had a few days’ jump on all of them with her “Break My Soul,: and now we know why she went early.

Puth’s smart manager and record execs really came up with a great idea to partner the singer songwriter with a BTS star. Puth needed a jumpstart to his career, and this was certainly the best idea anyone’s had in a long time.
