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 7-day period through Oct. 17.

A promo for ABC’s new musical drama Queens tops the chart, marking the second week in a row at No 1.

CBS once again makes a strong showing, taking second place to promote The Equalizer (up from third last time) and third place for CSI: Vegas (up from fifth).

New to the ranking this week, in fourth place: a USA Network promo for America’s Big Deal.

And a spot for NBC’s La Brea closes out the chart. Notably, the La Brea promo has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (129), 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).
