| After Lady Gaga's jaw dropping performance this weekend at the Superbowl, I thought it only fair to reminisce on past performances. I know Bruno Mars has performed, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers took off their shirts, and certainly Queen Bey having all the Destiny's Childs members pop out together was a spectacle, but my heart will always be tied to Madonna. Madonna performed at the halftime show for Superbowl XLVI. She came out on a throne, had everyone from Cee Lo Green to LMFAO light up the spectacle. She brought her show stopping stadium skills to a worldwide platform. |  When Madonna performed at the Super Bowl she set a record audience of 114 million viewers,-higher then the games 113.3 million. The record is now held by Katy Perry |
Through one show Madonna showed her prowess for a next stadium tour (The MDNA Tour would become one of the highest grossing in history), launched a top ten single with the cheerleader chant of “Give Me All Your Luvin'” and raked up just a little bit of controversy when M.I.A flashed America the middle finger. The show had it all.
It catapulted MDNA into selling over 500,000 copies in the United States without a radio hit, and Gaga must also be hoping it will do the same for Joanne. However, her album has been selling at a steady (and surprisingly) solid place despite neither of it's singles becoming radio staples. Gaga has certainly convinced America to bring out their cowboy hat and buy a ticket for her new show.
