It’s now officially the most-watched halftime show performance of all time! Nielsen’s new report has got some pretty impressive stats about two major events that happened earlier this year. The Super Bowl Halftime Show, held earlier this year, was the first one in over five years and it drew in 121.017 million viewers!
Moreover, the Super Bowl game between the Eagles and the Chiefs officially set the record for most-watched in history. The original estimate was 113.1 million viewers, but after some adjustments due to encoding irregularities and issues with out-of-home measurement, the new figure is now 115.1 million viewers. That means it beat out the previous record holder, the 2015 Super Bowl, which had 114.442 million viewers (excluding streaming).
After an initial reporting error, Nielsen has determined that Rihanna's Super Bowl LVII halftime performance drew 121.017 million viewers.
