It's not rocket science my friend.

Smartest person in pop? Probably the most persistent at maintaining and giving a damn about her career.

Missy Elliott's Digital Music Catalog Soars: Super Bowl Halftime Analysis

The New England Patriots’ victory over the Seattle Seahawks wasn’t the only the only thing that went viral after Super Bowl XLIX—so did Missy Elliott and her catalog.

Katy Perry Sparks 'Fireworks' At Super Bowl Halftime Show With Missy Elliott

As one of the two special guests who blazed the stage alongside Katy Perry during the fantastic Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday (February 1), Missy undoubtedly stole the show, but also seized the charts with a huge sales boost following her epic three-song medley. Her hits “Work It,” “Get Ur Freak On,” and “Lose Control,” occupy the fourth, fifth and ninth slots, respectively, on the iTunes singles chart.

Of course the night’s headliner, Katy Perry, also got in on the sales surge, cracking the top 50 on the songs chart with “Roar,” which peaked at No. 22, “Firework” (No. 29) and “Dark Horse” (No. 35). The “Roar” singer also dominated the digital retailer’s albums chart, with not one, not two, not three, but four LPs in the top 10, including 2012’sTeenage Dream (No. 5), 2013’s standard and deluxe edition of PRISM(No. 7, No. 10, respectively) and 2008’s One of the Boys (No. 9). Missy’s 2001 album, Miss E… So Addictive, which features such hits like “Get Ur Freak On” and “One Minute Man,” also snuck into the iTunes top 50 albums chart, landing at No. 41.

On Spotify, the ladies also reigned supreme as Missy’s material increased approximately 676% in the hour before the Super Bowl performance to afterwards (between 11 p.m. and midnight). The total streams of “Lose Control” spiked to 1396%, while “Get Ur Freak On” reached 922% and “Work It” soared with 896%.

Timbaland On Missy Elliott: 'Everything Is About Timing'

Katy’s streams increased 85% over the same time period, with songs like “Teenage Dream” (139%), “Firework” (107%), “California Gurls” (98%), “I Kissed A Girl” (94%), “Dark Horse” (69%) and “Roar” (56%).

Meanwhile, Lenny Kravitz’s streams on Spotify gained 103%, while his recent album Strut made its way to No. 58 on the iTunes album chart.

While the dust may have settled inside the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ., the fireworks from that fantastic halftime show is continues to ring louder on the sales chart. In the case of Missy, the icon left little doubt about her impact and the one left on that stage. And like her longtime friend, Timbaland, told us last year, "Timing is everything."

Proves REAL talent NEVER dies. That is why , D'angelo & now Missy's muziq will live on forever.

And there's the bump. We all knew that after performing on such a large stage (The most watched television show in U.S. history) that her previous records would skyrocket and new interest would be piqued. If she's not ready with new music, at least her back catalog can keep the kids busy until she is. What until they see her classic videos too. They're in for a treat!

-

I don't throw her in with the Maxwell's and Lauryn Hill's of the world due to her health struggles. I wouldn't want her to come back until she was healthy and strong enough to do her thing.

I feel bad for all of my fellow orgers for wasting 20 minutes of their time watching that halftime show.

I watched Missy and the 2 minutes of Lenny.

What a crock. Good thing I watched the entire game on a DVR. Took less than an hour.

I always use as a blueprint, for artist that write and produce themselvesl But of course he is not on the same level as each of them. They inspire to be him..

Her videos rivaled MJ. She is such a visionary. As far as her health, it seems like she is on the right path now. She has lost a lot of weight, which can only help her in the long run..

Missy tweeted about the newfound interest in her "old" catalogue and seems excited that a new generation of kids are getting into her music.

Great news for Missy. NBC Sports PR announced that Super Bowl XLIX is now the highest rated in Super Bowl history. Does this mean a Missy comeback is inevitable?

Missy is so sweet and down to earth

Looks like Missy and I are on the same page in regards to her newfound audience. She even referred them to her videos too. Now, if she can just release a freakin single, snippet or something....

-

Seriously, Madonna and Janet both had new music ready for consumption either the same night or the next day for radio or downloads. Hopefully before the year is out and after all the newbies digest her catalog, she can give them something new to eat. Hell, considering how fast music is consummed now, she should try to have something out by Spring because by summertime, folks could be like, "Missy Who?" LOL!

-

Our attention spans are mad short these days.

I have a feeling her appearance was planned at the last minute. So with record label politics. That was not enough time tp plan a new single. Maybe her label is scrambling now. Missy has never been the type of artist to just release anything to the public. She is a perfectionist like MJ. Who I'm sure is rolling in his grave now. He NEVER would have released the crap Sony has put out of him.

I realize now that's the case. I was really slagging her for not having something new to go with her performance, but really she was added at the last moment to Katy's performance.

It's KATY that should have a Remix EP or something.

Wish it could have been Lenny & Missy. Katy can't sing for shit... and her songs are just boring.

No problem. She sounds really humbled by all the love she's been getting since her performance. I like what she said about working hard in the industry.

Missy is a REAL artist! She is not just a rapper. Peeps here just don't realize that.

Recording artists Katy Perry and Missy Elliott perform onstage during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show at University of Phoenix Stadium on February 1, 2015 in Glendale, Arizona

*The Super Bowl sales bump continues for Missy Elliott’.

Not only have her sales surged 282 percent following her guest turn during Katy Perry’s Feb. 1 Super Bowl halftime show, but the three songs she belted have registered their biggest digital sales weeks ever.

Collectively, Elliott sold 272,000 song downloads in the week ending Feb. 8 (up 282 percent compared to the 71,000 sold in the week previous).

Her biggest seller of the latest week was “Work It” (one of the tunes she rapped at the Super Bowl), which debuts at No. 9 on Digital Songs with 83,000 downloads sold (up 300 percent). Her other two Super Bowl-performed tracks are her second and third-biggest sellers for the frame: “Get Ur Freak On” (No. 14 on Digital Songs with 78,000; up 316 percent) and “Lose Control,” featuring Ciara and Fatman Scoop (No. 18 with 59,000; up 257 percent).

Elliott’s albums also gained big time, as her catalog of releases rose by 265 percent to 8,000 copies sold for the week. (She sold 2,000 albums a week earlier.)

Not to be forgotten: Lenny Kravitz (who joined Perry for “I Kissed a Girl” during the halftime show) saw a 21 percent gain in album sales (3,000 — up from 2,000) and a 19 percent lift in song downloads (10,000 — up from 9,000).

MISSY ELLIOTT AND PHARRELL HIT THE STUDIO

The VA players are back at it. Missy Elliott and Pharrell Williams hit the studio this week to cook up some new music.

Missy tweeted a photo of her and Skateboard P in the lab. The Super Bowl performer dons a Biggie and Tupac T-shirt, while Pharrell throws up the peace sign.

“VA! 2 up 2 down! Me & my fam @Pharrell hard at work,” said Missy.

The Virginia natives previously shared the stage at the 2014 BET Awards when Pharrell brought out Missy to perform “Pass That Dutch” during his opening set.

Earlier this month, Missy reunited with Timbaland to work on her first album in a decade. She can also be heard on the remix to Jack Ü’s dance hit “Take Ü There.”

Pharrell can be seen on the new season of “The Voice” and recently won a BRIT Award for International Male Solo Artist.

The COMEBACK is in the NOW!!!!

That's interesting. Have Missy ever recorded anything with Pharrell?

I'm sure missy's titties would flop down the chart if she put anything on the chart lately.

Titties suppose to flop down! Madonna's can't even move, with all the plastic & silicone in them..

I've seen those bad boys move around up close having been to a good number of Madge shows and been lucky enough to be down the front....trust me, they are all real and ALL good
