It's a safe choice and appealing to the crowd that will be watching the Superbowl. I hardly think fans of Outkast or Hip Hop would want to see a watered down, censored version of those groups (if you hadn't notice, they seem to love using profanities). Although some of Maroon 5's songs can be a bit provocative, I don't think most people really even know the lyrics (I think it's more about the music). As opposed to lyrics like Roses smelling like poo poo, your shit don't stank, and crazy bitch. Yeah, that ought to play well. Not to mention that the FCC would probably have something to say about it.
and just another reason there's no HipHop Headliner at Halftime

Uh, he didn't become a celebrity from TV (he already was one). His band has multiple hits. He was People magazine's sexiest man alive. He had plenty of notoriety previous to The Voice. His band warrants a Superbowl appearance because they have a wide reaching appeal (I'm pretty sure they max out on every concert venue they appear in).
The problem seems to be that people think that Maroon 5 are " Milky White "
But they are not.
They have made probably a dozen mashup songs over the years, including with wiz khalifa, Cardi B, rihanna and Gym Class heros, just to name a few.
Just because the SB happens to be in Atlanta doesn't mean the Half Time should be a HipHop festival

Correct. Like em or dislike em, the fan appeal is there...
I was just kind of guessing when it came to the most popular group over the last 30 years. I didn't mean to imply they have been around 30 years. Ever since the mid 90's the last time grunge bands were relevent there haven't been many bands that have stood the test of time. Others mentioned Coldplay, Maroon 5 and maybe Linkin Park are the top 3?
Those numbers comparing Coldplay to Maroon 5 are probably accurate. But also probably worldwide, Coldplay is a Euro band that sells a ton worldwide. The average Amercian probably couldn't name more the 5 Coldplay songs within 10 seconds. They have had hits overseas that barely got any US radio airtime. I'm actually a big fan of Coldplay and not trying to bash them at all.
But as far as the USA is concerned I'd bet Maroon 5 gets way more airtime, has more top 10 hits, have more $$ and unit sales, has taken in more in concert sales in a sweep across the board. NFL is a hugely American sport. Maybe if it were soccer Coldplay would make more sense.
