The Top 10 most popular Super Bowl highlights
A new study has revealed which Super Bowl Moments have attracted the most views from fans. The study, conducted by JustGamblers, analyzed the official NFL YouTube channel, which has posted clips and highlights of every Super Bowl to determine which moments have been viewed the most by fans.
Taking the top spot on the list is Shakira and Jenifer Lopez’s halftime performance at the 2020 Super Bowl LIV in Miami Gardens, Florida. The last major NFL event before the state went into lockdown during the pandemic, this halftime show is by far the most viewed Super Bowl video, amassing over 304 million views to date, accounting for almost a fifth of all 1.6 billion views of the top ten moments combined.
In second place is the halftime performance of the 2022 Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood, California, featuring Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Bilge, 50 Cent, and Kendrick Lamar. This halftime performance has garnered 257 million views since its upload date on the 14th of February, 2022.
In third place is Rihanna’s halftime performance at the 2023 Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona. It has managed to rack up an impressive 212 million views in the little over a year since its upload on the 13th of February, 2023. Interestingly, Super Bowl LVII was the most viewed program in American history at the time, peaking at 118.7 million viewers.
In fourth and fifth place are moments from the halftime show for Super Bowl 50 in 2016. This halftime show was split into two videos, one showcasing the performance of Beyoncé and Bruno Mars, with this video having the fourth highest number of views at 177 million, and the other being that of Coldplay, which garnered 132 million views. This is notably the only instance in which a single Super Bowl features twice in the top 10.
The sixth-place spot goes to Katy Perry, with her 2015 performance at Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Arizona, featuring Missy Elliott and Lenny Kravitz, has been viewed just over 94 million times since being posted on 13th September 2016, meaning the Teenage Dream singer’s performance makes sixth place.
Lady Gaga’s eclectic performance at the 2017 Super Bowl LI in Houston, Texas, ranks in at seventh place, managing to get over 78 million views.
The remainder of the top 10 features The Weeknd’s halftime show at the 2021 Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay, Florida in eighth place with 64 million views.
The ninth and tenth most viewed Super Bowl moments are claimed by Maroon 5, featuring Travis Scott and Big Boi, and Justin Timberlake, respectively. Maroon 5’s halftime show at the 2019 Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta, Georgia, has gained over 21 million views, whereas Justin Timberlake’s performance at the previous 2018 Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been watched over 18 million times.
Interestingly, Usher’s recent performance at the recent Super Bowl LVIII has gathered just 16.58 million views – as of the time of writing – since its upload on the 12th of February, meaning that the performance ranks in as the 12th most viewed moment.
Note: The first non-halftime moment to appear on the list is that of the New England Patriots vs. Atlanta Falcons highlights from the 2017 Super Bowl LI.

A spokesperson for JustGamblers commented on the findings, saying:
“The halftime show is a major draw of the Super Bowl, and all the performers that make the top ten clearly gave performances that had a lasting impression. The fact that these halftime shows draw such an astronomical amount of viewership is a testament to the popularity, showmanship, and pure talent of the performers.”
