Across Bad Bunny’s catalog, Shazam recognitions increased by more than 400% during and immediately following the halftime show compared to the daily average. Among the most-Shazamed moments during the performance were “Die with a Smile” featuring Lady Gaga and “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii,” with Ricky Martin.

The surge follows years of growth for Bad Bunny on the platform, according to Oliver Schusser, vice president of Apple Music and Beats. “We have had the pleasure of working with Bad Bunny since 2016, and watching him grow into this massive global superstar has been incredible and exciting, but not at all surprising,” Schusser said. “His fans on Apple Music are very engaged, and I think these numbers reflect his huge influence and impact on music culture.”Landrum is an entertainment reporter based in Los Angeles.
