I don't really think they would.
Well yeah they would still do extremely good but not as extremely good as they did with those tie-ins.
An evident of that is that the sales of the singles highly dropped between the weeks (they had good sales to begin with but they wouldn't reach where they did without the tie-ins).
When the dramas started to air though the sales barely decreased between the weeks and the days after the dramas showed always had big jumps in positions (both for FoL and HEART STATION that had PoL).
The tie-ins gave the songs really small drops and longetivity. The FoL single and HS album could never accomplish that without the dramas.
For example with HEART STATION.
First week - 480,081
Second Week - 135,857
Third Week - 59,935
Last Friends started to air
Fourth Week - 41,792
Fifth Week - 40,539
Sixth Week - 30,226
Seventh Week - 29,905
Eight Week - 23,581
Ninth Week - 25,138
etc.
