For the second straight year, the MTV Video Music Awards drew its smallest audience ever.
Monday's show drew 2.25 million viewers and a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49. Across eight Viacom-owned channels, it drew 4.87 million viewers and a 2.2 in the demo; both sets of numbers fall short of the 2017 VMAs, which set the previous low.
The awards also aired on a ninth Viacom network, TV Land, for which numbers weren't immediately available. It's highly unlikely, however, that enough people tuned in there to push the VMAs past their 2017 on-air total of 5.36 million viewers and 2.6 rating in adults 18-49.
The 2017 awards also aired opposite a huge Game of Thrones finale on HBO; the heaviest head-to-head competition on cable Monday was WWE Monday Night Raw on USA (1.1 in 18-49, 3.1 million viewers) and an NFL preseason game on ESPN (0.8, 2.66 million).

A coupled of things...
One, I didn't even know they still did this show...
Two, what the hell look was Madonna going for here?!
because that asshole kevin Hart started bitching about Trump? Just sayin...
She looks like a gilded brass dildo. Just sayin’.
Millennials destroyed music.
Limo bizkit/juggalo
I think Madonna wanted people to think about how ‘exotic and regal’ she looked, instead how OLD she looked.
I’m tired of her, but I think she goods pretty good for her age and amount of surgery done. At least she doesn’t look like Courtney Love or Cher.
Madonna was a Birthday Girl on August 16th, now 60 y/o!
She doesn’t look a day over.......fill in the blank.
Terrible numbers.....keep it up Kevin Hart, old boy!!! Ya done real good..you foolish, buffoon!!!
Show might be better if they had actual music from actual musicians.
Who's the youngster? Monica?

What’s the Music Awards? Who is Madonna? (that’s how much they mean to me!!)
Are there awards for the best opera at the MET, or talk of the tenors and sopranos and all those other wonderful voices??
Have you all given a donation to this wonderful FReeRepublic??
Whoredonna looks like death warmed over.
