Girls' Generation's third Japan single, 'MR.TAXI/Run Devil Run', has reached the number one spot on the Oricon Charts.

The single 'MR.TAXI/Run Devil Run' was released on the 27th of April, and has topped the Oricon Daily Single chart since the 29th. The single has also reached the #1 spot on mobile site 'Rekochoku' and Japan's iTunes single charts, symbolizing how popular Girls' Generation is in Japan.
