After this season finale, "So Emotional" by Whitney Houston bumped an impressive 650 percent in streaming. But that isn't the most amazing increase that resulted from the queens--after being performed by Farrah Moan and Alexis Michelle, Dolly Parton's "Baby I'm Burning" bounced 2,114 percent in all streaming platforms.

Not only do streaming rates increase, but sales do, as well. "Greedy," "So Emotional," "It's Not Right," Woman Up," and "Cool For The Summer" all sold a minimum of 1,000 copies the week they were performed on RuPaul's Drag Race, according to Billboard.

The ladies are snatching wigs, snatching Emmys, and snatching sales. We're shook.
