The views and likes on YouTube are painting a whole different picture

Its because his youtube performance was released like 6-7 hrs after the half time show. If it was released instantly after his live performance it would have gained a lot more millions of views.

Rih's was released on YouTube 3 hours after her show so not really an excuse

Rihanna also saw a bigger boost in sales post, right? 

Definitely, so big she’s still increasing her monthly listeners a year later.

 

I love my papi Usher but it clearly just didn’t connect with the audience. It happens, and it is what it is.

I think this would be more fair if Rih hadn’t garnered nearly 100m views in such a short amount of time while Usher is struggling to pass 10m.

 

There’s clearly a difference in reception. And for what it’s worth, I think it’s better that Usher was received as good enough rather than the hate train that M5 and JT got.

No, he put on a much better show

[Alicia Keys]

Thanks Alicia

Usher's an R&B icon, so it's not surprising.

[eleganceislearned]

Deserved. It was one of the best halftime shows in a while. 

[HASHTAGPOW]

Thank you Ludacris 

[BnPac]

Official viewership numbers for his Halftime Show specifically aren't out yet, but the half-hour in which the Halftime Show took place averaged 129.1M viewers, with there being a chance that his 13 minutes specifically have cracked the 130M mark.

When adjusted for population its changes. Michael Jackson still has the most popular Half Time.
