Apple debuted a striking new iPhone + AirPods commercial during Saturday’s divisional playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons.

The song at the center of the commercial subsequently made a huge jump on iTunes.

When the commercial aired, Marian Hill’s 2016 song “Down” was distantly outside the Top 200 on the all-genre single sales chart. As of press time at 12:25PM ET on Monday, it was up to #12 on the listing.

It had gone as high as #11 earlier Monday morning.

Buzz over “Down” comes as the duo prepares to launch “Back To Me,” its new collaboration with Lauren Jauregui, at radio.
