With aerial acrobatics and vocal displays that seemed to fly just as high, fresh reports now reveal that Lady Gaga‘s kick ass Super Bowl halftime showing wasn’t the only thing that soared last night. That’s right, preliminary figures are indicating viewership did as well!
Placing her and the Patriots v. Falcons among the “most watched ever,” tuck in below to see just how many people were glued to their screens when Gaga belted ‘Bad Romance’ and the Pats delivered a stunning, historic upset:

Pure Viewership = 111.3 million
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)…the Fox broadcast of the Patriots vs. Atlanta Falcons gridiron NFL battle at NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday is one of the top four most watched TV shows in American history – tied with the 2012 Super Bowl. About 111.3 million tuned in to Fox for the 6:45 – 10:30 PM ET Super Bowl last night, according to Nielsen.

That’s right! Gaga has tied her longtime nemesis, Madonna, for fourth place amongst “most watched Super Bowl” showings ever (pure viewership). Curious to know who’s above them? Here’s the list:

- 2015 (starring Katy Perry)
- 2014 (starring Bruno Mars)
- 2016 (starring Coldplay/Bruno Mars/Beyonce)
- 2012 & 2017 (starring Madonna & Lady Gaga respectively)

Excellent ratings considering so many trump supporters boycotted the performance!!!
That’s pretty ironic….lol. I tiohht she did a great job, but I do feel like she was missing something. Great job none the less. Wish she performed “Love Game”
True, but just because more people saw it doesn’t mean more people liked or enjoyed it. For example, Prince is not on this list and his show is widely considered the best of all time.
It wasn’t anything groundbreaking. I wonder why the camera cut away as she “dropped” off the roof onto the stage? If it was real, they would’ve shown the full effect. Overall, it was just another average Gaga performance aside from the part where she tried to emulate P!nk’s Cirque du Soleil act.
Jump was fake https://www.instagram.com/p/BQJ76W2DkYL/
Clocked!
Wow! I feel bamboozled lol
LMAO ONLY A DUMBASH BUG WOULD THINK SHE ACTUALLY JUMPED OFF THE ROOF FOR REAL LMAO.
KEEP REACHING INSECTS LMAO.
it was better than Madonna and katy perry’s and I love them both. just give credit where it’s due. you’re jealous.
Why would she jump off a roof are y’all dumb?
LMAO KEEP SEETHING BUGS. GAGA SLAYED AND YALL JUST…CANT….TAKE….IT…..LMAO.
She’s tied with Madonna lol I doubt the M stans are happy about that
Anyways congrats to her she put on a good show was it memorable no but it was good for that moment
So a dip in views. Save the “It depends on the team” because this game was hyped with one of the best team in football history. People turned the channel during her performance. Still higher than Beyonce’s show tho.
I just realised how pathetic rihanna is. I doubt she can put on a performance like gaga’s or even beyonce. it’s amazing how far spreading your legs can take you. Rihanna deserves nothing of what she’s given. To think her fans even mocked gaga’s sales. what a shameless and disgraceful artist she is.
Rihanna has nothing to do with the topic. For a so called flop, she always seem to be on your mind all the time. So you can go deflect from Gags having ratings dip somewhere else on your own time.
LMAO RIHANNA GOT YOU SO PRESSED THAT YOURE SEETHING OVER HER IN A GAGA POST LMAO. NOW THATS WHAT U CALL PATHETIC LMAO.
Mark your logic seems to fail when the results are showing that the actual game lost viewers. So Gaga made the Haltime Show stay pretty much on par with previous years despite the drop for the game. Make her look even better.
actually people didnt turn in for the game but more turned in for her performance…read!
lol as if rihanna can command an audience like that. just who the f*** is rihanna without jayz, those songwriters, produsers, cute outfits and magazine covers??? a nobody. shes has no substance, is empty and shallow. She needs to go.
did you say rihanna or beyonce?
Y’all STAYYY bringing Beyoncé in a conversation. That’s why she’s queen. Even with less SB views, she has the most likes on Instagram and more followers than Gaga. Even with less YouTube views that Gaga, Beyoncé sells more records at $20 an album. Without a number one, she had a whole stadium tour that’s about to be relaunched. Do you understand what I’m trying to say? Numbers don’t mean anything. Beyoncé next album could sell Ciara numbers and shed STILL be one of the most instrumental artists in the industry. So stop bringing up the queen in order to raise Gaga. Gaga had a cute performance. Leave it at that.
LMAO KEEP SEETHING WITH YOUR EXCUSES BANDWAGON BUG. BUGYONCE AT THE SB IS A FORGOTTEN DEAL NO MATTER HOW MANY KISSA*SS RATIONALIZING THAT YOU DO. WHY DONT YOU SPEND TIME SEARCHING FOR LANA’S CAREER INSTEAD OF D*CKRIDING BUGYONCE LMAO.
A dip in views when she’s singing about LGBT and multi races and she protested trump no s*** Sherlock
WoW
Good for Gaga, but still trying to understand that last jump. LOL
She didn’t beat Bey her show still remains the most watched and best overall
Beyoncé was not even on the list. Gaga’s show was more watched.
Beyoncé was only more watched last year, when she was only a supporting act to Coldplay’s amazing show 😉 Period.
lets not forget that while gaga actually improved the game’s audience, bey lost 2million viewers
@blue
if this post was about #1 singles and not the halftime show performance we might have asked you for your opinion
when you give your farts so freely i thought they were taking any and all opinions…
…then stop thinking. You’re making an ass outta yourself.
make me!
oh wait…screen blocked!!!! lol!
she actually did…look at the list of the 4 most watched SB halftime shows. she also got the most tweets
Girl please Bey had the more superior,had more views,quality,guest surprises and shock factor. Hers will forever remain iconic even more iconic than Mj and you will deal
Gaga’s was just as great and i liked her setlist. i like beyonce but she needs new hot music. Her songs aren’t exciting. The songs gaga performed were nice to listen to once again
lol… i get it now, you are trolling as a hive member! lol funny
Beygency
You are not being a good advocator. With your own logic we could say Beyonce did less than Gaga despite the support of guests, something Gaga didn´t have for the first time in years in this show. Gaga killed it. Not that Beyonce didn´t. But give Gaga the props she deserves.
Beyonce and Bruno weren’t the headline. People didn’t know they were showing up. Funny TGJ added their names but didn’t add the guess for testing other shows, i.e. Katy Perry/Missy Elliott. I liked Gaga performance. You can’t please everyone, so of course she’ll get some hate.
LMAO ANOTHER SEETHING INSECT. BUGYONCE ISNT EVEN IN THE TOP 5, AND YOU WILL DEAL LMAO.
More iconic than MJ … HE CREATED THIS FORMAT
and he didn’t have to dress like BEYONCE
u clearly didn’t read the article
That’s Coldplay not Beyoncé show
Exactly. TGJ shouldn’t have added their names.
those are great numbers as the game’s viewership dropped
Those numbers dropped? Oh now this is great news for her Halftime show then that she pretty much made it stay on par with previous years.
Good for her I read somewhere that she hadn’t more viewers than the actual game
Now lets hope it helps her to have a big grossing tour
Damn Gaga!!! Big ups!!
She couldn’t even beat basic Perry despite being the one with more talent!??
But atleast she beat Basicyonce but then again it’s not that hard to beat her?
Congrats Gaga iam now a fan. I wonder why rihanna gets more praise than gaga. That prostitute can’t perform she’s a bore. No wonder her tour flopped it’s obvious some of her fans came to their senses.
Where the hell does Rihanna get more praise?????? 🙂 She doesn´t and she shouldn´t.
People act like she’s the biggest pop star bcoz of her number 1 singles.
2nd highest selling female artist in history!!!!!
what has your fav done with their lives?
Highest what? LMAO Are you confusing Rihanna with Celine Dion? Maybe Mariah Carey? Whitney?… 🙂
love those ladies but no…rihanna is the 2nd highest selling female artist in history…your denial cant change facts
2nd highest selling female artist in history!!!!!
what has your fav done with their lives?
Those numbers are lies and anyone can achieve that if they chose to be a s**** bank in return for favors. All those hits but she can only perform 3 songs. Stfu!!!
you know whats more sad then my fav apparently exchanging s** for record sales? its yours doing the same but cant even crack the top 10 of that list!
Luckily more people want to watch them live. what ws your fave’s tour numbers btw???? kii…. even bieber almost doubled her tour gross and you want to brag. number 1 hits with low tour sales… omfg
I just hope next era will mark the continuous decline of rihanna. I hate that b**** so much I just want her to disappear. She’s a thief and a fraud who’s blocking real talents from shining.
LMAO YOULL CONTINUE TO SEETHE CUZ THAT RIHANNA REIGN WILL NEVER LET UP…12 YEARS AND COUNTING LMAO.
Her time will pass and I’ll be celebrating for sure.
LMAO YEAH, YOU ROACHES HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR OVER A DECADE LMAO.
Well considering she had to partner with a phone service to get her album to platinum I’d say she’s halfway there
So Beyonce´s Halftime show is below all those? Surprising.
Although as the unbiased music fan that I am, I know damn well these ratings don´t depend on the group that is performing that night (same way the success of an animated movie doesn´t depend on which singer lent their voice to a particular character no matter how stans want to state it does). It has more to do with the game itself. Overall, they have all achieved pretty much the same ratings these last 5 years. Kudos to all of them. Performing that long segment is exhausting, especially if you sing live and dance LOL
first of all: only a handful of those acts were able to increase on the game’s viewership, gaga was one of those madonna, mj and katy perry did it too…bey for example had 2million dropped from the game’s viewership, so to some degree those acts do bring in their own viewers to offset those sports fans not there for the halftime show.
second of all: when you give your time to promote a movie, you deserve some of the credit especially when that movie over-performs and becomes a hit and becomes the single reason a whole animation movie studio can look forward to a future.
third: go F yourself
The highest point watched at the 2015 Super Bowl was when Tom Brady threw 3 back to back touch downs. Ratings hit over 120m. Katy’s halftime wasn’t the most watched of that night.
.
http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/02/media/super-bowl-ratings/
Beyonce S.B halftime – 110.8
The show itself: Super Bowl XLVII was viewed by an estimated average of 108.69 million people in the United States, with a record 164.1 million tuning into at least six minutes of the game.
I feel u!
LMAO OF COURSE HERS IS BELOW EVERYONE ELSE. WE ALL KNOW BUGYONCE IS ALL HYPE & TRICKS LMAO.
Wheres Beyonces?
When will keri hilson?
she asked first
The question still stands, when will Keri ever have the opportunity to perform at the Superbowl? If you stay in your lane, there won’t be any accidents.
LOL NO BUG, THE QUESTION STILL STANDS….WHERE’S BASICYONCE’S? LMAO
Worry about your bird favs straight-to-DVD ass movie career.
FYI – this is most watched super bowl, not most watched super bowl half time shows ?
it doesnt matter as we already know that the halftime show pulled in more viewers
It doesn’t matter ? You are really dumb lol
it doesnt matter cause if the game is already in the top 4 of the most watch and she improved those numbers it means her place in the top 4 is secured! #logic
It’s the most watched game period you idiot.
cut your brain some slack and exercise it once in awhile please!!
LMAO ALL THESE SEETHING INSECTS….GIVING ME A MILLION EXCUSES…..GIVING A MILLION EXCUSES…..AS TO WHY GAGA SLAYED AND THEIR BUG QUEEN ISNT EVEN IN THE TOP 5 LMAO.
anyone notice how formation all of a sudden is rising up itunes…It must be the hive’s soothing song…
That’s great for Gaga!!! Who had the most ratings doesn’t mean they had the best show y’all are really childish….. Katy has more views than MJ enough said lol grow up damn
That´s true LOL Katy has the record for the most lipped basic mess where only the theatrics and Missy Elliot shone 🙂 And I agree the ratings don´t depend on the artist selected that particular year. So i think I agree on everything with you.
then what do you attribute to acts whose halftime shows get the same numbers as the game itself? or those whose numbers actually fall?
or the fact that gaga’s show was the most tweeted about?
or that she is enjoying on of the biggest boost on itunes?
thats all just sport fans right?
and yet nobody made that assumption but you. gaga’s super bowl in top 4 of most watched super bowls… nobody equate that to quality…insecure much?
Madonna actually had 114 million and the 1st ever to have more viewrship than the actual game at that time. So she isn’t tied at all with Lady GaGa. “Madonna’s halftime show was viewed by an average of 114 million viewers, which makes it the most watched Super Bowl halftime show ever. The game itself peaked between 9:30-9:58 p.m. (ET) with an average of 117.7 million viewers.” Here’s the link: http://www.sbnation.com/2012-super-bowl/2012/2/6/2775693/super-bowl-viewership-record-madonna-halftime-show
OOps…my bad. You guys are referring to the actual viewership for the game not the Halftime show.
LMAO SO YOUR ATTEMPT TO BELITTLE GAGA’S SLAYAGE IS A FAIL LMAO.
LMAO THE LOCUSTS ARE MAD CUZ GAGA SLAYED BY HERSELF WHILE ROACHYONCE NEEDED 1,000 SPECIAL GUESTS AND STILL DIDN’T MAKE THE IMPACT GAGA’S SHOW DID LMAO. SEETHE BIH LMAO
Im bitter they just didnt ask Missy Elliot to perform a full show, since she single-handedly made Katy P’s performance watchable. Bring out Missy!!
Beyonce had the lowest rating Halftime show this decade. She also have the lowest rating HBO concert as well. Clearly Bey is weak when it comes to ratings. You pest can be upset, you can bring up other singers or just be p1ssed, but the FACT remains that Beyonce’s halftime is the lowest of 2010’s.
And it’s still ones of the best of all time both of her performances. Her performances are still ranked above All the others this decade as one of the best and you can stay mad about it. Y’all still arguing bout the same old s*** lool
It’s okay. As long as the people willing to spend 17.99 on her album as well as those expensive tour tickets. Bey remains unbothered when she constantly had her catalogue albums charting and just last year alone she had 150k++ catalogue album sales and 2 Mil catalogue single sales . We have some artist that had 10,000 number one singles but couldn’t have not even 1 out of 7 previous releases to chart again. (streams included), let alone goes platinum with recent releases.
Yall act like ppl pull in 110 million viewers every day. Beyonce is not bothered. She didn’t even have new music out. She was one of the first to pull off a whole world tour without new music, while filming 16 music videos at the same damn time. One of the first to put out a successful surprise album released on a Friday (Friday f****** 13th) and still be #1 by Sunday night (crushed Tuesday releases that had a full week of sales) with no singles released prior. This is why your favs album comes out on friday’s now. This why your favs want to perform at the superbowl and announce tours immediately after performing with a commercial (those spots aint cheap). Your favs will never perform at halftime twice (2 yrs apart) or even once. Would you prefer Impact or ratings? A sold out STADIUM TOUR or highest rated HBO special? Platinum #1 singles that cost $1.29 or Multi Platinum # 1 albums that cost damn near $20. Beyonce doesn’t even have to work as hard as your favs. She might show up to 1-2 award shows a yr, She’s doesn’t even do interviews with anyone. Beyonce Is the standard of what an entertainer is.
Congrats Gaga you deserve it all. Talent always wins.
Y’all need to update they updated her numbers!!! She had the 2nd most watched with 117 mill
LOL. You guys can cling to ratings. It clearly did nothing to sales considering Bey sold more tickets and grossed more compare to Bruno and Katy with less dates. And guess who constantly had more catalogue albums charting without the Superbowl effects? Yes. Just last week, 4/6 Bey’s albums are charting.
Katys crown is untouched and her wig is unmoved.
Nice
