In music and pop culture, 2026 belongs to Bad Bunny. The rapper made history at the 2026 Grammys with three awards, including album of the year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos), marking the first time a Spanish-language record has been awarded that honour. Days later, he headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show, drawing an average of 128 million viewers, making it the fourth most-watched halftime show in NFL history, per Variety and Billboard. Kendrick Lamar’s set remains on top, with Michael Jackson and Usher taking the second and third spots.
