"CHAMPION" PLAY

The biggest needle-mover of Super Bowl LII is...Carrie Underwood. For his part, Justin Timberlake holds on to #1 on the iTunes album side and has four tracks in the Top 10.

Underwood's "The Champion" featuring Ludacris (Capitol Nashville), which got two big plays during the broadcast, has flown #14-1 at iTunes, leapfrogging JT's "Say Something" f/Chris Stapleton and the Kendrick/Weeknd Black Panther cut.

Timberlake's got four in the Top 10, namely "Say Something" (#2), " "Filthy" (#4), "Can't Stop the Feeling" (#6) and "Man of the Woods" (#10). The new tracks were already in the Top 15 prior to the game. His new full-length, also titled Man of the Woods (RCA), remains at #1 on the album side.

JT catalog naturally got a bump from his performance, with "Mirrors" at #14, "Rock Your Body" at #19 and "SexyBack" at #27, with others further down the chart.

On the streaming front, "Say Something" is Top 15 and "Filthy" is Top 25 at Apple Music, while the former is Top 25 at Spotify U.S.
