In an effort to increase its profile after being counterprogrammed by an In Living Color special the previous year, the show featured a performance by Michael Jackson. The performance was successful in its goals, causing viewership of the Super Bowl to increase between halves for the first time in the game's history. With an audience of 133.4 million viewers in the United States and 1.3 billion viewers worldwide it's one of the most watched television broadcasts of all time [1] [2]. The show, along with other notable appearances by Jackson in late January and February, also helped improve sales of his then current album Dangerous.
Retrospectively, the show has been credited with establishing the norms of future Super Bowl halftime shows (with a greater focus on major names in popular music), and ranked as being among the greatest Super Bowl halftime shows of all time.
