VA! 2 up 2 down! Me & my fam @Pharrell hard at work


At the 2014 BET Awards, Pharrell and Missy opened the show with a performance of “Pass That Dutch.” The two Virginia natives last worked together in 2011 when they dropped “On and On.”

Missy is on the verge of having a huge 2015. Missy performed her early 2000s hits “Get Ur Freak On,” Work It” and “Lose Control” during  Super Bowl XLIX’s halftime show with Katy Perry. The next morning, her previous albums and sales saw a huge spike in sales. After performing her medley of throwback hits, the 43-year-old MC woke up with eight songs on the iTunes Top 200 Songs chart.

“Work It” came in at No. 7, “Get Ur Freak On” landed at No. 10, and “Lose Control” charted at No. 15. On Spotify, streams of her songs increased exponentially. “Lose Control” streams increased by 1,396%, “Get Ur Freak On” by 922% and “Work it” by 896%. By comparison, none of Perry’s songs jumped into the top-10 of the iTunes Top 200.
