One Direction fans woke up Monday to a major surprise when the five boy band members announced that their fourth album would arrive Nov. 17 and also offered a new track for free.
The album, Four, will arrive one year after 1D dropped Midnight Memories. Available for pre-sale, Four has already rocketed to No. 1 on the iTunes Top Albums chart, which should come as no surprise since the group's first three albums achieved chart-topping status.
As of 6 p.m. ET, 1.7 million tweets about the free single, "Fireproof," were posted:
Fans, of course, reacted hilariously to the news:
