Rihanna‘s EPIC Super Bowl Halftime Show may have split viewers on the critical front, but – as evidenced by the refreshed Hot 100 – the Pop diva has certainly scored a touch down commercially.

Thanks to her 13-minute set at the State Farm Stadium on February 12, Rih reinvigorated interest in her hit-filled catalog and went on to collect her largest streaming week yet as a result.

“Her song catalog earned 166.1 million U.S. on-demand official streams in the week ending Feb. 16. That’s up 156% compared to the previous week’s sum of 65 million,” Billboard reported.

In fact, the uptick in streaming and digital download activity that resulted from the halftime show was so strong it helped hoist three of her fan favorites – ‘We Found Love’ (#48), ‘Diamonds’ (#44), and ‘Umbrella’ (#37)- back into the Hot 100, besting the commercial performance of songs over a decade their junior.
