B&C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through Feb. 7.
On the strength of nearly 270 million TV ad impressions, a CBS promo for crime drama The Equalizer — which you probably saw during the Super Bowl telecast — takes first place, followed by a promo for Super Bowl LV itself.
Another CBS crime drama that got a Big Game boost, Clarice, takes third place. Rounding out the ranking: ABC, which hypes American Idol in fourth, and MotorTrend Network, which revs viewers up for Top Gear America in fifth.

Notably, the Top Gear America spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (115) in our ranking, meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
