Missy Elliott Welcomes Spotify, iTunes Boost Following Super Bowl Performance

    Virginia musician Missy Elliott has topped charts and welcomed an increase in plays on music streaming apps including Spotify following her guest appearance during Katy Perry’s Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday (February 1).

    The Huffington Post reports that all three songs Missy performed during her halftime appearance saw significant increases on Spotify. According to the music streaming app, “Lose Control” saw a streaming boost of 1,396 percent while “Get Ur Freak On” welcomed a 922 percent boost and “Work It,” an 896 percent boost.

    Spotify obtained its data by comparing activity the hour before the Super Bowl to its peak between 11:00 PM and midnight that same day.

    Additionally, according to MissInfo.tv, Missy also made her presence known on the iTunes charts following her performance. The website reports that on Monday (February 2), the three songs Missy performed all made their way into the top 10 on the iTunes Singles Chart (“Work It” – #4, “Get Your Freak On – #5, and “Lose Control” – #7).

    Although it’s been nearly a decade since Missy released her last album, The Cookbook, Miss Info revealed that new music from the rapper is reportedly on its way.

    “We heard an unreleased remix from Diplo and Skrillex (aka Jack U) of their massive pop/dance hit ‘Take U There’ but this one featured two incredible verses from our girl Missy Elliott, not just spittin’ in high heeheeheeheehaw form, but also giving up a little buttery ‘Hot Boys’ melody too,” Miss Info wrote.

      1. Funny because Nicki never dominated shit in hip-hop. None of her albums are even close to hip-hop, just pop. Missy Elliott is miles ahead of Nicki.

      2. Funny because pop is what I describe missy elliot’s music. Nicki makes pure hiphop that just happens to cross over to the mainstream. Nicki also makes R&B and House music. Missy does pop. Missy had to beg for katy (pop star) to put her on the stage during the superbowl.

      3. You got that backwards. It’s Missy Elliott whose music is pure hip-hop, no pop. There’s nothing pure hip-hop, R&B, or house about Nicki’s music, it’s all pop. Hell, Nicki jacked Missy’s style a lot alongside other female artists. And it was Katy Perry who begged Missy to perform with her on the Super Bowl.

      4. Missy’s singles sound nothing like pop, so they’re not pop. They’re more closer to hip-hop than any of Nicki’s singles, which are all pop.

    1. Missy Elliott was the only good part about that half-time performance. They should’ve made her the main performer instead of Katy Perry.

      1. They both sucked. The only way this could have redeemed itself is if the wardrobes were to malfunction, revealing tits from katy. Nicki Minaj was much better in the superbowl.

      2. Please. Missy shut it down. Her performance was better than Nicki’s, who only showed up for a few seconds not doing shit while Missy had an entire routine.

      3. Looking at your comments, your favorites are obvious. So you’re just gonna not be a Wayne fan because of something he did that you didn’t agree with? That makes you a bandwagon bitch.

      4. Wayne embraced the cash money culture which im a fan of. Breaking that pact is like your innocent friend deciding on a life of crime. You can no longer support that friend.

      5. There is no Cash Money culture, you either like the music or you don’t. You sound like one of those preteen girls obsessed with boy bands. You’re WAY too much into it and need help. You have no problem with Wayne saying terrible things on record, but once he wants out of Cash Money, you turn against him. That makes you a hypocrite, a dumbass, and a traitor.

    2. Nicki’s about to go gold again. Life at YMCMB is tough right now but Nicki is keeping spirits up at a time where disloyal niggas like wayne are revealing their colors.

      1. That’s horrible considering her last two records went paltinum. And you can’t speak for anyone at YMCMB since they don’t know you. The only disloyal one is you for turning against your favorites and Birdman for screwing artists over.

      1. That’s no excuse for Nicki flopping again. And Wayne didn’t screw Birdman over, it’s the other way around.

      2. How is going gold terrible though? Mariah couldn’t even sell 150k and went diamond before. That’s how fall she had fallen off.

      3. Like I said, her last two albums did more than gold, so her new one barely selling gold is bad. Mariah already sold hundreds of millions of albums, she’s in a position where she doesn’t have to release an album, so she can’t fall off.

      1. Wayne is in no position to screw anyone over while Birdman is. It’s Birdman who screwed Wayne over. And he didn’t betray his fans. Quit sticking up for Birdman.

      2. Wayne was turning out shit music on purpose to disgust fans. Birdman didn’t want it out right away so wayne made fun of his fans for being birdman fans.

      3. If that was the case, Wayne fans would’ve stopped buying his shit a long time ago because his music is always shit. Birdman has no problem releasing shit music considering his own music is also shit. Plus, Birdman doesn’t even have fans, so how can Wayne make fun of something that doesn’t even exist.

    3. Cash Money’s music is the culture. I like the music so I like the culture. What’s wrong with being a fan of that. And what terrible things did wayne say before? His big crime was biting the hand that fed him. And it pissed me off. That’s like your friend suddenly being mean to you.

      1. Again, there is no Cash Money culture. You’re liking something that doesn’t even exist. Did you really ask what terrible things Wayne has said on record? I could post up an entire novel of terrible lyrics from him, starting with the Emmit Till line. And he didn’t bit the hand that fed him, the hand bit him. What happens between him and Birdman doesn’t affect you in any way, so you’re bitching about nothing. You’re the friend being mean.

      2. Emmett till’s line wasn’t a diss against him. It was only a reference to how he would punish criminals by suffering the same till had to suffer. And I’m on Cash Money’s payroll as accountant so of course if affects me.

      3. He’s compapring beating up the pussy (vagina) to the murder of a little boy, that’s a horrible diss. And you can drop the whole accountant bullshit because that’s a lie.

      4. He wasn’t talking about criminals, he was taking about vaginas. And you’re not their accountant, you don’t work there at all.

      5. That’s a joke, right? Nicki doesn’t even make hip-hop records and Meek sucks ass. Nobody on MMG got a platinum album and Meek’s last record didn’t even sell gold, his new one will sell less.

    4. stfu you stupid fucking haters. nicki is good, but she not even on the same planet as missy. missy is the number one selling female hip hop artist of all time you stupid shit. she doesn’t have to get an album out, she’s a living legend. and nicki hasn’t dominated shit. she has one platinum album and now settling for a slow gold. i wish her the best career, but don’t make stupid comments when you don’t know what the hell you talking about. do your research.

      1. Missy ain’t even hiphop. She raps on POP tracks. Nicki Minaj makes music on hiphop. Minaj is diverse as an artist while missy is POP. Also, Nicki will eventually surprass missy in sales.

      2. You got it backwards, teethboy. Missy is hip-hop, not pop while Nicki is pop, not hip-hop. There’s nothing pop about Work It, Get Ur Freak On, and Lose Control while Super Bass, Starships, and Pills N Porions are nothing but pop. Missy is the diverse one, not Nicki, who doesn’t even have an original style. At the rate she’s going, Nicki will never surpass Missy’s sales.

    5. another wasted article because you CLOWNS feed into teethboy’s bs and can’t see he’s trolling you. grow the hell up
