How a year is scored

Two audiences

The sim tracks your group against two separate meters, and they behave nothing alike.

• Fandom compounds. It grows slowly through music show wins, fan meets, tour dates and viral moments, and it never really falls. It wins trophies and fills arenas.
• General public spikes and decays. A comeback or a viral hit adds a lot at once, then it bleeds away about 2% a week. It wins charts and CF deals.

That split is the real strategic tension. A fandom monster that can't chart and a CF darling with no album sales both fall short — a 52-0 group needs the two together.

The weekly chart

Each week your score comes from three things: how hot your current single still is, your general public standing, and your fandom. Between comebacks the single decays, which is why the gaps in your promotion calendar are where perfect runs usually die. A big enough fandom keeps a song alive through the quiet weeks.

Then you meet that week's opposition — mostly mid-tier acts, but 5 weeks a year an all-timer is in your way. Those are the weeks that end most perfect seasons.

Grades

Wins	Grade
52	52-0 · Perfect Dynasty Number one every week of the year. Nobody does this.
48+	Daesang Sweep A year that ends with your name read out last.
43+	Chart Monster Owned the year without quite owning all of it.
36+	Comeback Royalty Every cycle landed. The gaps cost you.
27+	Rookie of the Year Real momentum, not yet a dynasty.
16+	Promising Flashes of it. The fandom is patient.
0+	Rebuilding Next era, next lineup.

How hard is 52-0?

The balance is calibrated against a near-optimal drafter — one that always takes the best available fit. Across thousands of simulated runs it medians 43 wins, reaches 49 at the 90th percentile, and goes perfect about once every 150 runs. A drafter picking at random medians 20.

So 52-0 is reachable and rare, which is the point. Most good lineups lose three or four weeks somewhere in the gaps.
