AI answer:

Bad Bunny is exceptionally popular and is considered one of the biggest and most influential music artists globally.
Here are several key indicators of his massive popularity:
Global Streaming Dominance:
He was the most-streamed artist globally on Spotify for three consecutive years (2020, 2021, and 2022)an unprecedented achievement.
He remained in the global top artists list in subsequent years, ranking second in 2023 and third in 2024, even with fewer new releases compared to others.
His total streams are in the tens of billions.
Chart Success:
He has multiple Billboard 200 number-one albums in the U.S., including El ltimo Tour del Mundo (the first Spanish-language album to ever debut at number one), Un Verano Sin Ti, and Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.
Un Verano Sin Ti spent 13 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and was the best-performing album of its year.
Touring Power:
His concert tours, such as the "World's Hottest Tour" and "Most Wanted Tour," have been massive, selling out stadiums globally and grossing hundreds of millions of dollars, making him one of the most successful live acts worldwide.
Awards and Recognition:
He is a multi-time Grammy Award and Latin Grammy Award winner.
He was named Artist of the Year by Billboard in 2022.
Cultural Influence:
He has successfully blended genres like reggaeton, trap, and Latin urban music, breaking language barriers and becoming a major crossover star in North America and around the world.
In short, Bad Bunny's popularity extends far beyond the Latin music market, establishing him as a global superstar whose music is a consistent fixture at the top of charts and streaming platforms.

He has been pretty funny in movies recently. Bullet Train, Happy Gilmore 2, and Caught Stealing. I've seen his clips on SNL from a comedic perspective. And I remember seeing Jon Hamm at his concerts, living it up.

I think this guy is very popular in the club music scene, South FL, and the Puerto Rican demographic.

Should make for a fun, energetic half-time show!

He also recently finished a month long residency in Puerto Rico that had over 600,000 attend his shows and generated hundreds of millions in revenue for the island, and he helped implement a number of programs to encourage continued economic impact and education. So mad props for that.

And if you haven't been to San Juan it's an awesome city, great place to visit.

Bad Bunny is the guy who'll be playing the Super Bowl halftime show while I get up to get more snacks, use the bathroom, and see what else is streaming on the other channels.

you can substitute almost every single halftime artist for "bad bunny" and that would sum it up. don't give two ****s about the halftime show, regardless of the artist.

Old people still haven't figured out google and the youngins are skipping google for ChatGPT.

I think when people ask Texags rather than doing their own research they want to know what others think so they can think the same.

I'm 62 yrs old...so I'm old! But if you pay attention to current culture at all, you have heard of Bad Bunny. Dislike his music but he is globally known. My son visited Puerto Rico a few months ago and he is revered there as a home grown hero. The only music played was Bad Bunny...from homes, stores, and restaurants/bars. I'm not a fan but those who ask "Who's Bad Bunny?" are trying to act cool or have their head in the sand.

I've been considering writing about Bad Bunny but probably going to put it on the Politics Board since so many political types have been tripping out about Bad Bunny since he first came on their radar on Sunday.

I've seen him live 3 times and his fans love him.
Personally, I enjoyed his earlier work more than the recent stuff but definitely a Puerto Rican legend (even though he's only 31 years old.

2022 - Minute Maid - Houston

Prince was the last great half time performance. Everything else has been shades of "meh".

Not to mention, the next huge audience for the nfl is Latin America. They are making solid inroads in Europe, but this can help jump start their next market grab,

Was in and about a number of Latin American countries in the summer of 2022 and when I say this exact song was coming out of every phone, radio, bike with a speaker, car, taxi, bar, club, restaurant, apartment, house, etc. - I am NOT exaggerating. It's what imagine prime Michael Jackson must've felt like when "Billie Jean" hit the streets.

As far as I know he was the protagonist in that Matthew McConaughey treasure hunting movie with Kate Hudson called Fool's Gold. Played by Kevin Hart right?

I believe the Kevin Hart "Bad Bunny" was featured as an antagonist turned ally in "Secret Life of Pets".

It's a little funny that he raps/sings in Spanish, but goes by Bad Bunny rather than Conejito Malo for branding purposes.

Or maybe he does and I don't know. He's been fun in the spots and shows I've seen him in.

Fun fact: grumpy 50 year old white guys aren't the target demographic for the halftime show. The NFL does appreciate us watching Pharma and Depends commercials though.

The people who Doritos and Pepsi want to reach all know who Bad Bunny is.

Im sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he is one of the most popular acts in the world right now. I don't know any of his songs, but even I know that.

That's right. The 50+ white guy demographic is targeted on the likes of Paramount Plus and their bent carrots during commercial breaks. Its a given they're watching the Superbowl but at halftime are either pouring another drink, outside having a smoke, or finishing off the queso with the last tortilla/cream cheese roll.

Oh, I'm fully aware the NFL has passed me by as their target demo. They've moved on to my 16 yr old son. But while he does like Doritos, he prefers Dr. Pepper.

Im an old too but come on, Bad Bunny is on the same level of Taylor Swift popularity globally right now, and has been for a while. This will probably be the most watched superbowl halftime show of all time.

The guy is a mega star.

Bad Bunny is Spotify's most-streamed artist worldwide for three consecutive years, from 2020 to 2022.
Taylor Swift has since topped the list, with Bad Bunny ranking as the second most-streamed artist in 2023 and third in 2024, according to Billboard, while another report places him as second.
