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 July 4.

On the strength of 269.8 million TV ad impressions, an HGTV promo for Celebrity IOU tops our chart. The network also grabs second and fifth to hype, respectively, Good Bones and Christina on the Coast.

Rounding out the ranking: Discovery, setting up Shark Week in third place, and CBS — the only traditional broadcaster to make the top five — giving some love to Love Island in fourth.

Notably, the Christina on the Coast spot has this week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (119), 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).
