"The Puerto Rican musician has attracted a huge number of curious new fans and jubilant preexisting ones after last week's Super Bowl, where he performed in a half-time show described by many people as one of the greatest in NFL history. His album Debi Tirar Mas Fotos which won album of the year at the Grammys this month jumped 42 places to No 2 in this week's Top 40, beating its previous high of No 13, while the single DTMF rose 39 places to No 4."
"Bad Bunny's half-time show was a global sensation: according to NFL and Ripple Analytics, its 128.2 million viewers made it the fourth most watched Super Bowl half-time show in US television history (behind Kendrick Lamar's show last year, Michael Jackson in 1993 and Usher in 2024), while more than half of views on social media came from outside the US."
"Rightwingers had criticised the booking, and after the show Donald Trump called it absolutely terrible, one of the worst a slap in the face to our country. But there was an outpouring of admiration elsewhere, from political figures such as Gavin Newsom and Meghan McCain to a five-star Guardian review by Stefanie Fernandez, who wrote that Bad Bunny reminded so many of us of the love, the community and the absolute joy that we create together every day in spite of everything else."
Bad Bunny achieved his first solo UK Top 10 hit following his Super Bowl half-time performance. His album Debi Tirar Mas Fotos jumped 42 places to No 2 and the single DTMF rose to No 4. Two additional tracks from the album, Nuevayol and Baile Inolvidable, reached Nos 15 and 20, giving three Spanish-language songs in the UK Top 20 at once. The half-time show drew 128.2 million viewers, making it the fourth most-watched in US television history, with most social views from outside the US. The performance drew both criticism and broad praise. Taylor Swift's Opalite rose to No 1 after a music video launch.
