The lead track of seven-member boy band BTS’ comeback album “Fire” stopped short of sweeping local charts, as girl group Twice’s “Cheer Up” dominated.

BTS released “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Young Forever,” which has 23 tracks including three new songs “Fire,” ”Epilogue: Young Forever,” and “Save Me,” on Sunday at midnight, which marks the wrap-up of “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life” series.

The album‘s “Fire” once swept all eight local charts -- Bugs, Mnet, Soribada, Olleh Music, MelOn, Monkey3, Naver Music and Genie -- as of 7 a.m. on Monday.

However, “Fire” soon gave way to Twice’s “Cheer Up,” title track of the idol group’s second track “Page Two.” As of 11 a.m. Monday, “Cheer Up” took the lead in seven out of eight charts.

Soribada was an exception, as “Fire” claimed the top spot on the charts, beating “Cheer Up.”
