A SUPER-SIZED BOOST FOR RIHANNA

Rihanna's Super Bowl boost was apparent on Spotify Monday (2/13); she was the most-streamed artist on the platform, rising to #1 on the U.S. and global Daily Top Artists charts.

She has a whopping 18 songs in the Spot's U.S. Top 50, led by "Umbrella" at #5 with 1.2m streams. Halftime favorites "We Found Love," "Bitch Better Have My Money" and "Diamonds" cracked the Top 10. Eight Rihanna cuts moved onto the global top 50 chart, led by "Umbrella" at #15.

At Apple Music, Riri enjoyed the biggest day of her career.

Her concurrent listeners on Apple Music jumped a staggering 331% worldwide. The hour following her halftime show was her biggest hour in Apple Music history by both concurrent listeners and streams. And nearly 16 years after its release, "Umbrella" reached the Apple Music songs chart in 105 countries—a new record for Rihanna's breakthrough cut.

Eight Riri songs appear in the Top 25 at Apple Music, again led by “Umbrella” (#7), and four albums populate the Top 20: Anti (Deluxe) is #6, followed by Loud (Deluxe), Good Girl Gone Bad and Unapologetic.

Rihanna has 14 songs in the iTunes Top 25—“Umbrella” and “Only Girl (In the World)” are #2 and #3—and four albums in the Top 15, led by Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (Westbury Road/Roc Nation/Def Jam) at #6.

During her performance, Shazam logged its most-Shazammed minute in the U.S. since last year's Super Bowl Halftime Show, with Riri's "We Found Love" the most-Shazammed song of the set.

Mercury Nashville artist Chris Stapleton's Traveler, meanwhile, is #2 on iTunes; Starting Over is #3.

In honor of the big game, we're trying to book an ad from Jesus.
