Before 1988, it was almost entirely marching bands and other non-pop/rock acts.

It wasn't until after Janet Jackson's infamous "wardrobe malfunction" in 2004 that the norm became a single halftime performer, starting with Paul McCartney in 2005. Again other than marching bands, before then it was always multiple performers – with the three exceptions of Michael Jackson (1993), Diana Ross (1996), and U2 (2002).
