1. Blinding Lights was tabbed as a potential No. 1 contender this week, given its previous week s ranking at No. 3 on the chart and its prominent placement in The Weeknd s Super Bowl set. Is the fact that it stays static this week at No. 3 a disappointment, or does it say more about the performance of the top two songs of the week ( Drivers License and Up, respectively)?
Katie Atkinson: It mostly shows just what a massive, unshakeable hit Blinding Lights is that it was even at No. 3 pre-Super Bowl after being out for well over a year. It just didn t have a ton of room to grow given its sustained Hot 100 success. Plus, as they say in Vegas, a push is a win.

Blinding Lights
For much of the halftime show, the Weeknd was accompanied by backup dancers dressed in red sport coats and what appeared to be jockstraps over their faces. To be honest, it was a little weird to watch. Reactions to the halftime show have varied. Some people thought The Weeknd crushed his performance, while others found it underwhelming.
Personally, I haven t had that much eye contact with anyone since the pandemic began last year. There were a lot of close-up shots, and I wasn t prepared for The Weeknd to stare straight at me in my living room for nearly 30 minutes. I definitely thought the halftime show was entertaining, but I wouldn t call it great. I think it was a little too weird for a lot of viewers, and with so many people all over the world watching, there was bound to be a lot of criticism.
