Music’s biggest night drew 15.4 million viewers on CBS Sunday night.
As a supporter, I’m thrilled to share that last year’s Grammy Awards attracted an average viewership of 16.9 million people, representing a significant 34% jump from the previous year. This impressive figure takes into account both linear views on CBS and Paramount Global’s own streaming data from Paramount+, CBS.com, and the CBS app.
This year’s ratings, provided by Nielsen Live + Same Day system, exclusively cover linear TV viewership on CBS. On Monday, Paramount Global sealed a multi-year agreement with Nielsen that encompasses measurement across all Paramount platforms. Since their contract with Nielsen ended in September, Paramount had been utilizing data from VideoAmp for the past few months.
According to CBS, the music awards broadcast was declared as “the most socially active TV show ever,” generating a staggering 102.2 million online interactions. Moreover, during last night’s Grammy ceremony, approximately $9 million was collected for wildfire relief efforts in California, and an extra $15 million was raised over the weekend.
On Sunday, Chris Willman of EbMaster declared that the Grammy ceremony was one of the best in years. In his review of the broadcast, he noted a good mix of snubs and surprises: Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish were overlooked, while Beyoncé finally received album of the year and Kendrick Lamar won both song and record of the year for the powerful diss track “Not Like Us” featuring Drake. The show also featured impressive performances by Doechii, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Charli xcx.
The event also included a touching tribute to Quincy Jones, where Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Cynthia Erivo, Lainey Wilson, and Janelle Monáe (dressed as Michael Jackson) paid their respects to the late music icon. Kicking off the show, which emphasized the strength of Los Angeles following the destructive wildfires, were Dawes with a rendition of Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.” and Billie Eilish singing “Birds of a Feather” in front of a backdrop displaying the San Gabriel Mountains.
For five consecutive years now, Trevor Noah has been the gracious host of the Grammy Awards. The production company Fulwell 73 handled the event on behalf of the Recording Academy, with Ben Winston assuming the role of executive producer in collaboration with Raj Kapoor and Jesse Collins.
