The Grammy Awards saw a significant increase in viewership this year, with an average of 16.9 million people tuning in to watch the star-studded event. This marks the largest audience for the telecast in four years, highlighting a continued recovery from the pandemic-related declines in previous years.
The ratings on Sunday saw a remarkable 34% increase from last year, including viewership on CBS, Paramount+, and other digital platforms. When accounting for delayed viewing, it is expected that the total number of viewers will surpass 17 million. The telecast reached its peak viewership during the emotional in memoriam segment, which featured heartfelt performances by iconic artists like Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox, Jon Batiste, and Fantasia Barrino.
