Since the '60s, the Super Bowl has been a staple for Americans, whether they're football fans or simply tuning in for the star-studded commercials and halftime performances. Over the years, music's biggest names have headlined the halftime show, from Diana Ross and Paul McCartney to Beyoncé and Lady Gaga.
INSIDER ran a SurveyMonkey Audience poll that ran from January 10 to January 11, 2019, where we asked 1,116 people which Super Bowl halftime show within the past 10 years was their favorite.
Keep reading to find out which halftime show was the clear fan-favorite.
10. Madonna's Super Bowl XLVI performance concluded with the phrase "World Peace" displayed across the football field.

1.6% of respondents were most wowed by Madonna's halftime show.
The Queen of Pop arrived on a gold chariot and kicked off her performance with "Vogue." She later shuffled with duo LMFAO for "Sexy and I Know It" and was joined on stage by Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. for a cheerleading-themed rendition of "Give Me All Your Luvin.'"
For the final number, "Like a Prayer," Madonna was joined by "The Voice" coach Cee Lo Green.
The show's controversial moment happened when M.I.A. put up her middle finger during the performance, as millions of people tuned in. As a result, the singer was faced with a $16 million lawsuit from the NFL, which was later settled.

The Black Eyed Peas promised a halftime show "packed with energy," but instead delivered a performance that people slammed for having stiff choreography and lackluster vocals. In particular, viewers criticized Fergie's rendition of "Sweet Child O' Mine," which she performed with guitarist Slash.
Usher also descended to sing "OMG," which features Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am.

4.7% of people polled were enraptured by Perry's 2015 show, which she kicked off by arriving on a 16-foot high lion and belting out the words to "Roar." She also recruited Lenny Kravitz to sing her first hit song, "I Kissed a Girl."
In addition, Perry brought out Missy Elliott "for "Get Ur Freak On," "Work It," and "Lose Control."
The breakout star of the evening was one of Perry's backup dancers (later identified as Bryan Gaw) who was dressed in a shark costume and appeared during "Teenage Dream." The dancer became a viral sensation thanks to his freestyle choreography.
