Objectively speaking, it seems virtually impossible for RESCENE to take 1st place on their comeback

Even if a nuclear bomb dropped on the day of release, it looks difficult.
To begin with, not all subscribers of the channel are streaming the digital tracks.
And it's clearly visible that the channel's views have been on a downward trend
following two consecutive advertisement videos recently.
Most importantly, regardless of whether the current #1 is chart manipulation or whatever, the gap is just too massive.
They say the Melon user count for RESCENE, despite their unprecedented buzz, peaked at 240,000,
whereas the current #1 is approaching 300,000 peak users in less than a week,
crushing even the real-time index figures of K-Day-Hun Golden,
and is currently swallowing up all the buzz in the idol industry.
Unless they get caught for chart manipulation and expelled as some people claim,
a #1 spot for RESCENE seems virtually impossible.
The only slight possibility is briefly hitting #1 in real-time figures on the first day,
but even that doesn't look easy since the current #1 is legendarily strong.
I personally think the outcome of this girl group battle has already been decided.
It will also be tough on music shows since they have to compete with top-tier boy groups.
Personally, I think they will hold on somewhere around 2nd to 5th place before sliding down the charts.
Since they are artists for whom even entering the Top 100 was a dream, that is actually a good result in itself...
However, since the fans are currently completely hooked on the "RESCENE dopamine,"
if the results come out mediocre this time and the dopamine doesn't hit,
I think many fans will end up leaving.
