It’s official: Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl LX halftime show is the most-watched of all-time. Halftime show co-producer Roc Nation announced on Monday (March 2) that Benito’s history-making performance set a global viewership record with 4.157 billion worldwide views in the first 24 hours across global and U.S. broadcasts, as well as YouTube and other digital properties.


At press time the breakdown of figures for the respective outlets were not provided and there was no independent verification of Roc Nation’s figures.

The previously announced official U.S. TV audience for the halftime show during the Seattle Seahawks’ 29-13 defeat of the New England Patriots was 128.2 million, which was down a bit from last year’s total of 133.5 million.

But the news that Benito’s set made history is no surprise given the Puerto Rican star’s massive reach, which includes being Spotify’s most-streamed artist in 2025, as well as in 2020, 2021 and 2022.

In addition to reportedly setting a new high mark for halftime show performers, Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl gig continues to pay dividends on the Billboard charts as well, with the halo effect rolling on this week. Benito’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS album notched a fifth week at the top of the Billboard Global 200 chart, after it first led for two weeks in January-February 2025. It also concurrently held the third total and consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart; Bad Bunny has held the charts’ top spot since his Feb. 7 halftime gig in Santa Clara, Calif.

In addition, the LP returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for a fifth nonconsecutive week on the Feb. 28-dated chart after it spent two weeks in the runner-up slot following the Super Bowl set and Benito’s win for album of the year at the 2026 Grammy Awards a week earlier.

Sharon Osbourne Says Ozzfest ‘Absolutely’ Returning in 2027 After Nearly Decade-Long Hiatus

Ozzy Osbourne's manager and widow told the MIDEM 2026 conference that before he died the rocker wondered if the festival would work without him.

Ozzy Osbourne‘s memory has been kept alive with a series of projects since the heavy metal icon’s death at 76 last July. But if manager and widow Sharon Osbourne has her way — and she almost always does — the spirit of Ozz will rise again next year with the long-awaited return of Ozzfest.

During a chat at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France this week as part of the MIDEM 2026 conference, Sharon again hinted that she is still planning to revive Ozzfest as a touring festival next year. “Yes, absolutely. Yeah, we’re gonna do it,” Osbourne said during a conversation with producer/manager Andy Copping (Download Festival).
