Important information: For purposes of this Contract, only qualifying songs performed by any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS) are counted when determining the "first song." Songs in which none of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS) performs are disregarded, regardless of when they occur or which other artist performs them.

For example, if another artist (e.g., Justin Bieber) performs one or more songs at the start of the Halftime Show before any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS) performs, those performances are disregarded for purposes of this market. The market resolves based on the first qualifying song at least reasonably begun by any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS), whether performed in full, in part, in a medley, or in a mashup.

A song performed jointly by another artist and any of Madonna, Shakira, or BTS (any member of BTS) is a qualifying song, including where a member of BTS, Madonna, or Shakira joins another artist's performance and performs the song (i.e., its recognizable melody or lyrics sung, at least reasonably begun). An appearance on stage without performing the song, for example, dancing, speaking, or being introduced during another artist's song, does not make that song a qualifying song.
