Our updated list of the top 10 Super Bowl halftime shows.

Justin Timberlake will set at least as two records when he takes the field for the Super Bowl LII halftime show today. The pop-R&B star will become the first artist to appear in three Super Bowls for one thing. And he’ll also become the first to get invited back after being an unindicted co-conspirator in the infamous “wardrobe malfunction,” as his role in baring the breast of Janet Jackson during the 2004 halftime show was euphemistically known. We’re sure of very little about the Super Bowl today — the Philadelphia Eagles really could win this thing all you (over)-confident New England Patriots fans should know — but you can bet Tom Brady’s stolen game jersey there’ll be no Nipplegate II during Timberlake’s performance. He might bring sexy back, but not that much. Exactly what Timberlake has planned for the performance has been kept tightly under wraps, though there’s sure to be a new song in his mini-set given that the singer-songwriter’s fifth solo album, “Man of the Woods,” arrived on Friday.

Will it be an all-Timberlake show similar to Lady Gaga’s halftime show a year ago, or feature guest stars as has often been the practice in Super Bowls past? Our money is that a guest or two will show up. Chris Stapleton and Alicia Keys are both featured on the new album, and he’s worked with artists such as Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams on previous collections.

And where will it rank among the all-time best Super Bowl halftime shows. We’ve got high hopes given that Timberlake continues a run of more modern Super Bowl performers such as Gaga, Beyoncé, Katy Perry and Bruno Mars, and a continued move away from the older icons of rock such as Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones.

Time will tell. For now, let’s go to the list of the Top 10 halftime shows of the first 51 years of the Super Bowl.

1 Prince: Every year some acts move up and down and out of the Top 10 — say so long to Coldplay this year — but Prince’s halftime set at Super Bowl XLI in 2007 will not budge from our top spot. It would have been a classic simply for the songs he...

2 Beyoncé: Queen B made the Top 10 the year after her Super Bowl debut in 2013, because Bey is the fiercest of the fierce and she’s not going to let you forget it or her. The choreography was tight, the reunion with Destiny’s Child, though they were...

6 Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake: P. Diddy, Nelly and Kid Rock also performed during this halftime show but no one remembers that after the Janet and Justin finale exposed her metallic nipple shield — three words we’ve only ever typed in the...

7 Michael Jackson: The King of Pop preceded his little sister to the Super Bowl stage, arriving there in 1993 in a burst of fireworks before working his magic on the crowd at the Rose Bowl. This is really when the Super Bowl halftime started to become...

10 Katy Perry: This one was like having Lucky Charms for dinner. Fun, colorful, and so what if it’s not all that nutritious? Perry rode onto the field for halftime of Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 atop a strange, gigantic lion puppet, held a beach party...

3 Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: OK, sure, the Boss’ crotch frightened a nation of viewers when he slid down the stage and into your home, but the pairing of Springsteen and the E Street Band — RIP, Clarence Clemons — with the all-American...

4 Lady Gaga: Last year, Gaga showed the world that she’s not a meatdress-wearing weirdo anymore but an entertainer who can start the show on the roof of the stadium, then descend a cable to the stage (and so what if that part was pre-recorded, it was...

8 Madonna: The Material Girl delivered the goods during halftime of Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. Her set kicked off the age of big production values, with the kinds of props and costumes and dancers you’d get at a Madonna show. And guest performer M.I.A.’s...

9 Bruno Mars: Bruno and Beyoncé both showed up during Coldplay’s halftime show at Super Bowl 50 — giving B&B two appearances each, but it was his headlining turn in 2014 that really let him shine. On songs such as “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Runaway...

5 U2: The four Irishmen of U2 were exactly what the United States needed in 2002 just a few months after the terror attacks of 9 /11. It was an emotionally rousing, cathartic performance at America’s national party, with the names of the victims...
