This weekend will bring us Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos, and naturally much of the chatter has taken to social. To get into the spirit of the game, we used the Cision Social Media Dashboard to find out which Super Bowl conversations are leading the Internet.

We analyzed Super Bowl discussions that occurred between Jan. 21-27 and found more than 1.7 million mentions:

We then broke down the conversations by medium. No surprise here, most of the discussions are taking place on Twitter:
