Both Sean Paul and Pitbull have built careers full of chart-topping hits, global recognition, and party-anthem energy, meaning either one could deliver an unforgettable Super Bowl halftime show.
When it comes to global impact, Sean Paul is in a league of his own. The Jamaican superstar has scored multiple Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits, including Get Busy and Temperature, both of which dominated radio and clubs worldwide. Over the years, he has placed more than 15 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and built a catalog that spans dancehall, pop, reggaeton, and crossover collaborations. From Gimme the Light to Like Glue, We Be Burnin’, She Doesn’t Mind, and No Lie, his music carries an infectious rhythm that instantly moves a crowd.
His influence helped push Caribbean sounds further into the global mainstream, making him one of the most successful dancehall artists of all time.
Pitbull has mastered the formula of international pop domination. With over 100 million singles sold worldwide, the Miami hitmaker has delivered massive crossover anthems such as Give Me Everything, Timber, I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho), International Love, and Rain Over Me. Many of his singles have reached the top of the Billboard charts, and his collaborations with Jennifer Lopez, Kesha, Ne-Yo, Christina Aguilera, and Marc Anthony helped define an era of radio-friendly dance pop in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
His high-energy stage presence, global appeal, and stadium-ready hooks make him a natural fit for a halftime spectacle.
Both artists bring something powerful to the stage. Sean Paul represents the global rise of dancehall and Caribbean culture, while Pitbull embodies Latin pop crossover dominance and worldwide party energy. The Super Bowl halftime show thrives on nostalgia, massive sing-along moments, and international appeal, and both artists have the catalog to deliver exactly that.
The real question is which sound would you want to hear shaking the stadium next?
