Do you think aespa will hit #1 on MelOn with their Rich Man comeback?

I don't think they will tbh

I voted yes! Rich Man is a bop! And aespa have always been unpredictable

Is the song out already?

Until Golden is kicked out from #1 at Hot 100 by Taylor Swift, it will continue to rule Melon

Only a 1,352 years old could pull the feat until earlier this year. Not aespa

No the next girl group to reach #1 in 2025 will be BABYMONSTER and you heard it here first

Hmmm i'm not sure, but it seems rather unlikely.

Golden is still very strong. But it's not totally impossible tho... I just know for sure that Golden will overtake it in no time.

My ranking prediction is that it's gonna very likely hit top 2 on melon and overcome Soda pop and Jump, but over some time, i think Jump is gonna overcome rich man and it's gonna end like that:

1. Golden

2. Jump

3. Rich Man

4. Soda Pop

5. Famous

And it's probably gonna stay like that until BP drops their ep around november.

My worse prediction is that it's gonna fall below Famous in a few weeks (2 or 3). But i'm pretty sure it's gonna overthrow both Drowning and XOXS in the top 5. Even on a longer term.

It's gonna take a few days tho to reach that top 3 place. It's not gonna happen in the first 1/3 days.

ps: jump might become whiplash's little sister btw

Highly unlikely. I doubt Rich Man will dethrone Golden. I assume it will peak at #2 or #3. There's a chance that "Jump" blocks it from reaching #2

edit - I hope they get it to spice up the charts because I want to see somebody dethrone Golden

I’d say yes, not because of the song itself, but because aespa is easily the most hyped gg in korea right now. So I think their songs will chart high, but they won’t stay there for long.

I know the appeal of falling for chart performance (im a nj stan after all) but do you even get ti enjoy the actual music?

I hope they do, but Golden will be hard to beat so there is a big chance it won't

honestly? i hope they don't.

if they do, it'll further cement my highly credible opinion that Koreans have no taste because even though Rich Man > Wicked, they are both still in the trenches.

I don't think

Golden is too strong as a song

But who cares ? RICH MAN is a BOPPPP and the MV will be epic !!!

cope. If ITZY sang rich man you would call it trash

ye

unfortunately we are stuck with that ost topping the charts until 2035

Maybe NewJeans can dethrone it when they come back in 2035

Even the Thanos of Kpop couldn't beat GOLDEN, there's no way aespa will. IVE didn't do it either, Blackpink couldn't do it, and based on the medley, Rich Man doesn't sound like a gp friendly song.

Honestly, the fact that no one can beat GOLDEN proves how shite 2025 is.

doubt it, Rich Man sounds closer to Dirty Work than Supernova. But how well will Karina's single do? That's a more interesting question to me cause it does sound good.

I gave superyeah two whole days to respond to my AtHeart thread. Since he neglected to do so, my chart threads are here to stay.

How dare superyeah not realize Yama-Chan runs AllKpop like the military. 2 days was very generous, too.

Wait there’s a Karina single? Interesting and it’s going head to head with their own groups song? 😭

All the girls got new singles. They've performed them during their recent concerts; you can check them out on YouTube. Spark was my fav. last time, but Karina's new single sounds the most promising out of the bunch this time around. SM probably won't release a proper version for some time, though. That's what they did last time.

Honestly a win for the rest of us either way

Y'all forget that Day6 is having a comeback they will be the one to dethrone Golden and cement themselves as the top gg of all time

Quote from Yama-Chan

Their comeback is tomorrow stay tuned

I'll consider it. Usually when people tell me to do something the toxic part of me refuses for roughly 1 week to up to several months. But if it was meant to be, it'll come. I promise.
