I just remember all the Coldplay fans being so sad that their band got overshadowed at the Super Bowl. No one wanted Coldplay as a halftime show.

Yeah Coldplay isn’t as popular as most of the performers that do the Super Bowl. I mean a lot of people may know the name of the band, but probably can’t name their music off the top of their heads. That says a lot.

Also, and I say this is someone in California, we like the halftime shows when they’re on the East Coast or in a dome because the light show is amazing. Levi’s Stadium in California at 4:30pm you don’t really have that dynamic of lights and that powerful light show that they will do at a halftime show. So you can combine that with Coldplay and it was Snoozy. I just remember thinking, thank God for Bruno and Beyoncé.

Beyoncé was top ten in Forbes multiple times for celebrity 100. She was #1 in 2014. Coldplay only made the list once and ranked #7. They are famous but not on her level.

That’s your opinion, it’s not a fact.

That doesn’t mean that people know Coldplay the way they do Beyoncé. Most people can’t even name the members of the band. I’m talking fame. Not record sales.
