How does a guy who never crossed into the mainstream draw a record viewership? We aren’t ignorant enough to think he was the reason are we?
OT: Halftime

did people turn in to watch him or was there a record number of people watching this game already who just watched the halftime show?
im not here to diminish him, i wasnt a fan but im not the targeted audience. didnt upset me, didnt excite me, like a lot of past super bowl shows..
i just find it funny that people are saying he got record numbers. Kendrick lamar got 133m viewers lol. i mean yeah i guess but that thing called the "Super bowl" was why people were watching in the first place. That's like saying, Harrison Ford selling Jeeps got 133m viewers. no, the game got 133m viewers and he did a commercial during that game..
it's not like 50m people watched the first half and another 80 million turned the TV on at halftime to see him perform. but good for him and whoever gets these gigs, having 130m people "Not turn the channel" when you come on means alot of money for you in future revenue, exposure, downloads, etc..
At it's peak, the game hit 137m. The halftime show was higher than the average 127m for the game. 1.3 million turned it off once his performance ended.
The numbers are compared to other SB acts, not some random performance on a Tuesday night.
Needless to say, this was a great commercial for his upcoming stadium tour- something no other individual rap artist has done without Beyonce or Rihanna co-headling.
yeah, doing a halftime show is probably one of the best things that can happen to an artist. just unbelievable returns on everything from upcoming shows to downloads on songs and everything that goes along with it.
you cant ask for a better promotion for an upcoming tour than a SB halftime show.
Slowly so maybe you can ingest it ...

I tried to read this and had a seizure.
Can someone who isn’t on the spectrum translate this for me.
He already has the revenue record for biggest rap tour of all time, which he will definitely shatter this year with his stadium tour.
Exactly. If I was singing at halftime, I would have got 120 million viewers, ya know, because it would have been smack dab in the middle of the highest rated football game ever.
