t's a demo low for the telecast, as it still skews young and the audience drops by 24 percent.
Sunday's Bruno Mars-loving Grammy Awards took a dramatic ratings spill, fetching the smallest demo audience in the show's history.
The telecast, which ran a bloated three-and-a-half hours, was off by 24 percent from 2017 with adjusted numbers. With time zone adjustments taken into account, the telecast averaged 19.8 million viewers and a 5.9 rating among adults 18-49. The second stat marked a low for the show. Among total viewers, that number was down even more than overnight returns from Nielsen Media that it a 12.7 rating among households. It's the biggest drop for the Grammys since the 2013, the year after the show swelled following the death of Whitney Houston.
Criticism for the show, hosted by CBS' James Corden, has focused on political and social messaging in speeches and performances.

Q: Name Leftist media death spirals.
I don’t think I’ve heard a Bruno Mars song.
I don't think you are missing out on much.
If they want big ratings, they should knock off a famous singer each year. Who would be next year's choice?
It’s time to start lighting up the phones of the sponsors. It’s supposed to be an awards show, not a political forum.
The left’s takeaway on the ratings: the show wasn’t political enough and they will double down on it next time.
You are both actually wrong, Bruno is excellent. But he is the exception rather than the rule, he does wonderful real music, not rap crap.
19.8 million viewers. @realDonaldTrump has 47.2 million followers. That puts things in perspective.
19.8 million viewers? That is still alot!
I was thinking 5 million! LOL
1) Rap is not music
2) Black Lives Matter ,,, a joke ,, B on B murders , abortion ,, sad
3) Rap is not music
4) Rap is not music
5) Rap is not music
One of the three basic elements of music is MELODY—changes of pitch.
A rap-crap “singer” speaking in a monotone is not music.
The real size of the Democrat voting base.
Cool man! Cool!
The Grammys are a young person’s show and young people don’t watch TV. They stream it on other devices.
“The left’s takeaway on the ratings: the show wasn’t political enough and they will double down on it next time.”
Driving into work this am, local Philly fm station announced there was “a great deal of controversy over this year’s Grammy’s, and viewers aren’t being shy about voicing their displeasure.”
What were they so upset about? “Not enough females represented among the nominees or performers.”
Their shrinking audience is a bunch of dopes.
Very few of them are voters.
I classify rap music as witch doctor spell casting mixed with tribal chanting.
“rap is not music”
Agreed. The real tragedy of that noise is the next Duke Ellington, Ray Charles or Jimi Hendrix is wasting his God given talent on that crap.
