Super Bowl LX Delivers Massive Streaming Surge for Bad Bunny, Green Day and Guest Stars

The commercial ripple effect of Super Bowl LX extended well beyond the stadium, as halftime and pre-game performers saw sharp increases in streaming and digital sales in the days surrounding the event.
According to Billboard Pro, the so-called “Benito Bowl” produced one of the largest post-Super Bowl streaming bumps in recent years, led by headliner Bad Bunny.
On Feb. 9, the day after the game, the Puerto Rican superstar’s catalog generated 98 million official on-demand U.S. streams, narrowly missing his biggest single-day total on record.
Bad Bunny’s set featured material from his Billboard 200-topping album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, alongside established hits such as “Monaco” and “Tití Me Preguntó.”
Apple Music later released the full 13-minute halftime performance as an audio EP, which also included pre-game recordings from Coco Jones, Charlie Puth and Brandi Carlile. The halftime audio alone drew 285,000 official on-demand streams and sold 858 digital downloads on Feb. 9.
The halftime showcase also delivered measurable gains for special guests. Lady Gaga’s salsa-infused version of “Die With a Smile,” her Bruno Mars duet that previously topped the Billboard Hot 100, earned 2.46 million U.S. streams across Feb. 8–9 — a 17% increase from the prior week. Digital downloads for the track surged 165%, totaling 1,240 copies.
Ricky Martin likewise benefited from the exposure. The Latin pop star performed “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii,” helping lift his catalog to 1.2 million streams over Feb. 8–9, up 58% week over week. Digital sales climbed 487%, reaching 429 downloads during the same window.
Pre-game performances also translated into catalog momentum. Green Day’s trio of songs from their 2004 rock opera American Idiot resonated strongly with viewers.
The title track jumped 78% to nearly 1.3 million streams, while “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” rose 46% to 623,000 and “Holiday” increased 53% to 556,000. Together, the three songs generated more than 3,000 digital sales — a 924% spike.
Overall, Green Day’s catalog streams climbed 42% to more than 9.3 million, while song sales soared 561% to nearly 6,100, underscoring the Super Bowl’s enduring role as a cultural and commercial accelerator for artists across genres.
Beyond the game’s performers, fans also responded to somber news. Following the death of 3 Doors Down frontman Brad Arnold, listeners revisited the band’s early-2000s hits in large numbers.
“Here Without You” generated nearly 2.9 million streams and 4,400 digital sales between Feb. 7 and 9 — increases of 207% and 3,887%, respectively. Breakout single “Kryptonite” climbed 112% to 3.3 million streams and 3,600 sales, while “When I’m Gone” rose 167% to 2.3 million streams and 3,300 downloads.
Across that three-day stretch, 3 Doors Down’s catalog totaled nearly 17.5 million streams and close to 20,000 digital song sales, reflecting gains of 236% in streaming and 4,903% in sales , a reminder of how major cultural moments, celebratory or tragic, can swiftly reshape listening habits.
