The NFL has been trying harder and harder to appeal to a global audience, not just the United States, by holding games in Berlin, Mexico City, Madrid, London, and Dublin. So, it shouldn’t have been so shocking when global superstar Bad Bunny was announced as the halftime entertainer for Super Bowl LX.
So, with the controversy surrounding the announcement drawing even more attention to the Super Bowl 60 halftime show, fans and haters alike will be asking one question leading up to Bad Bunny’s performance: What song will he sing first?

Here’s a look at the odds for which song Bad Bunny will perform first during his Super Bowl LX halftime show (via FanDuel):
If you are thinking, “I’ll just bet on his most popular song.” That is one strategy you could go with, but it would probably be wrong. The biggest and best songs are not going to come first, but last. They are what you end the show with, not start.
We want the cheesecake the most, but we’ll eat our salad, dinner roll, baked potato, and Mom’s meatloaf first. The first song needs to be something easily recognizable, something casual fans will probably recognize. It needs to be a high-energy song with a strong beat that will get the audience excited and dancing in their seats.
Ideally, it will be something that will make viewers who aren’t fans wait before getting up to make their second-half snack. If it gets the dancers on stage and pyrotechnics can be synced to it, even better. It has to make people want to see what’s next. A big hit off a new album may go first, or a song tied to a viral moment or trend.

This is an easy market to guess on; you just need to find a popular song (but not too popular) that will get the crowd pumped up and eager to see what’s next. It needs to be a high-energy song, but not one of his most popular tracks.
He has opened shows with ALAMBRE PúA, Nadie Sabe, and LA MuDANZA. That makes them worthy of consideration, but it feels like a too-easy call to make. Plus, when I listened to them, they didn't make me feel like I had to hear more. I can’t help but think that with all the added attention to his halftime show, he’s going to kick it off with something different.

With that in mind, here are my top choices among the listed options:
DTMF, BAILE INoLVIDABLE, and BAILE INoLVIDABLE are three of his biggest hits and sound like they belong more toward the end of the show rather than the front (in my humble opinion). But NUEVAYol has been among the first songs on several of his concert set lists and checks all the boxes.
It’s popular but not too popular, high-energy, and transitions easily into other songs. However, if the following songs were to get added to betting boards leading up to the big game, they’d deserve serious consideration:
“I Like It” would be a great opener, too. But I doubt he’d open the show with Cardi B (or anyone else); the guest will come during the show, but not at the start or the end.
