Mazda’s “Carried Away,” the No.2 ad last week, moves up to No.1, while the previous top ad, Mazda’s “Driving Matters: Passenger,” falls to third place. A CGI-animated Lexus commercial, “Brace Yourself,” takes over the second-place slot, boosted by 2,585 national airings to date.

Also in heavy rotation, at No.4: a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid spot starring actor James Marsden, with 3,833 airings so far; that’s a gain of 531 airings in just one week.

Finally, a Chrysler commercial starring Jim Gaffigan enters lands on the chart at No.5. The ʼ17 Chrysler Pacifica is good for his “dad brand,” the comedian says.
