Rihanna’s Halftime Show: 118.7 million viewers

[Ms. Togekiss]

Funny to see the Navy bragging about numbers and hiding behind them to avoid acknowledging how mid and boring it was, especially since they drag swifties whenever they pull up numbers  HYPOCRITES!

Where are the haters now?

more like trying to get an audience she was pandering after with Joanne (flopped months before SB) and A Star Is Born the year after  

Or trying to unite the country, which was stated by herself and noted by critics, but sure whatever fits your narrative. A lot of talk when Gaga is still in the top 3 most-viewed. 

[Taylucifer]

so not the biggest? 

[Stepfon]

BBHMM, her impact!

So true! Didn't need to sing two patriotic songs to make white america tune in due to a lack of hits  

At least she, you know, sang.

 

And according to the leagues press release at the time;

 

“Nearly 118 million viewers tuned into the performance on the FOX broadcast network. In addition, Lady Gaga’s performance at NRG Stadium in Houston is the most-viewed content on NFL’s digital platforms, including but not limited to NFL.com, NFL Mobile, Twitter, YouTube, and Giphy. Through these channels, the Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime Show reached at least 150 million unique people, garnering more than 80 million views and totaling 260 million minutes watched.”

Giphy. 

[HASHTAGPOW]

They’re still bragging giphy views 

[Mean Trees]

NFL is essentially reporting their own numbers?  I can't see them wanting to lie or anything...

Giphy. 

If you read her show was most consumed across all NFL online platforms, remove any one individual stream and consumption of her show is still millions higher than 117.5m.

 

The point anyway is Gaga and Katy’s figures are broadcast ratings only and all three of them have had news outlets declaring most watched Superbowl. 
 

All three did excellent in terms of eyeballs glued, what really matters at the end of the day is how good the performance actually was 

[AMIT]

good for her

 

y'all still ain't gettting any more music tho so the braggings are a bit weird

 

[SlayPerry]

Most watched superbowl halftime shows:

1. Katy Perry (2015) - 121M (=)

2. Rihanna (2023) - 118.7M (NEW)

3. Lady Gaga (2017) - 117.5M (-1)

 

Katy Perry and Rihanna queens

It's a very very bad year for the Little Monsters 

 

First Beyoncé outdid her in albums, singles, touring and awards ( she got a top ten today)

 

Now, Rih came back and smashes rating. 

 

I'll wait for Katy's catalogue streams to rise and put them into embarrassment. I just knew the Swifties, Arianators, BeyHives and Navy are gonna come for them. 

 

 

When u put it like that 

[Richmond]

The Monsters in here trying to include themselves in the conversation when the topic is surrounding the top two

[Tistotal]

Ugh, what a queen, and she did that with a mid performance

why did he not highlight that part

The way she still wins even after doing the least

She beloved.

 

Point still stands that Gaga and Katy’s had bigger television broadcast numbers that don’t include any NFL online streams and when you do include them both shows consumption is higher than 118.7m — all three have had outlets declaring them the most watched Halftime. All three deserve flowers for their raw success even if not all of them delivered on stage to the same extent

The way this thread demonstrates how forum faggots only care about numbers to brag about. Y'all still ain't getting new music anytime soon. Go on I guess

 

Her performance may be the second most viewed, still doesn't take away the fact that it was boring and lacklustre, compared to Katy's megashow and Gaga's talent marathon.

Gaga bringing in an additional +6.2 million viewers versus the game itself and still being third most watched, only behind the leader by a million, but sure that’s losing.

Don't mind the people dragging Gaga, she brought the most additional viewers + her performance was the best one ever, so... yeah.

Girl, there were multiple users dragging Rihanna because the viewership was "low"; it turns out that that's not the case at all and we're pointing it out. Also, if we're not getting any new music soon at least let us have something, ffs.  Rude and for what.

[Asscatchem]

atrl just keeps losing

[Janet]

Omg gaga is over :/

Her performance is getting acclaimed and already has more likes than Gaga's & Katy's on YouTube (1M+). It was only 'mid and boring' according to ATRL, as per usual.

Not that creaking ass platform being a perfect metaphor  a great shot though, Diamonds one of the few songs that actually stood apart from the megamix.

I was mocking the "radically minimalistic" bs that someone wrote. Why would I go into hiding? I don't see this as a good thing, and I don't know why people are celebrating this. She's literally lowering the bar. At least people like Maroon 5 and BEP were actually criticised for their performances.
