The Super Bowl halftime performer is arguably just as big as the football being played, and viewers excitedly look forward to the halftime show months ahead of time. The good performers put on a show, and the great performers make lasting impressions for years on end.

Last year, Rihanna drew in millions of viewers while announcing her second pregnancy. Will 2024's star top that?

Usher is most known for his songs "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" (featuring Pitbull) and "Yeah!" (featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris), the latter of which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
