Just 8.8 million people tuned into the Grammy Awards on CBS this year, a new all-time low for the music awards show, according to near-final Nielsen ratings.
Why it matters: In a sign of how much the pandemic has sped up ratings declines for award shows, the Grammy's ratings were still the highest for any major award show in the past year.
The Golden Globes were viewed by just 6.9 million people this year, a record low. Viewership of the Emmys last September dropped 11% year-over-year to just 6.1 million viewers, another record low. Prior to Sunday, 2006 was the lowest-rated Grammy Awards with 17 million viewers.
You’re not gonna go all Sally Fields on me, are ya?
:D
BET next year!
I guess there is hope, we do have some taste left in the country. Americans don’t want to watch visual and artistic swill. Good for us.
Didn’t most of the award shows this year have record poor viewership? If so, what will the poor celebs do without the country fawning over them.
Fatt ass black whores twerking..so pleasant.
Most of what I’ve seen of the people making music nowadays, I don’t want to hear.
What I’ve heard over store speakers is just horrendous.
Especially the women, they sound a bit like a nasally cartoon characters, just awful.
There’s enough old stuff and I listen to a wide variety, I will have no need to listen to wokesters.
I thought the same thing about sports.
8.8 million nuts.
With streaming there is so much stuff to choose from .... I think that almost everything is down in the ratings....
Listened to my wife play her Ukulele, instead. Much better.
One would think during a lockdown pandemic people would turn to entertainment or sports. Yet we’ve seen the opposite happening due to the woke factor.
Start putting up signs with WET ASS PUSSY and Cardi B all around the Private Schools these peoples children go to and watch their reaction.
You nailed it. People are sick and tired of the vulgarity, politics and self-promotion. Its a disgusting spectacle that turns normal people off.
Somehow ... we are racist for not watching ...
Let then wallow in their own self-congratulatory, ego-driven drivel.
I don't even know anyone who watches this slop, let alone cares about it.
The filth and wokeness coupled with scum virtue signaling is a big turn off.
Movies are entertainment. Sports are a social activity. Who likes to watch football alone? Award ceremonies are what you watch when you are too lazy to change the channel.
So again, numbers are used to confuse.
So this year is 8.8 mil.
Last low was 17 mil a decade ago.
So what was last year ?
Reporting hits new all time low.
We learned some valuable lessons and one important bit of information from the Pandemic.
We do not need sports stars or professional sports. Those overpaid morons offer nothing of value to society.
We do not need movie stars or professional performers when they bring us vulgar garbage and political horse crap.
On a happy note that outweighs the self important self centered narcissists above....
We now know bigfoot’s name. His name is Darrel.
An old Al Jolson song fails at ratings. Too bad.
