The 60th Annual Grammy Awards Delivers Nearly 20 Million Viewers  Image

THE 60th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS delivered 19.81 million viewers and ranks as the most-watched primetime entertainment program on any network since the Feb. 26, 2017 Oscar telecast, according to Nielsen time-zone-adjusted fast national ratings for Sunday, Jan. 28. The Grammy telecast also won the night in key demos (6.9 in adults 25-54, 5.9 in adults 18-49 and 4.7 in adults 18-34).

For the night, CBS dominated the combined broadcast competition in viewers by +134% (versus 8.55m), +142% in adults 25-54 (versus 2.6), +184% in adults 18-49 (versus 1.9) and +258% in adults 18-34 (versus 1.2).

THE 60TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS were broadcast live on both coasts from New York City's Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Jan. 28, 2018, at a new time, 7:30-11:00 PM, live ET/4:30-8:00 PM, live PT, on the CBS Television Network.

Reflecting a diverse blend of talented music makers, this year's nominees were selected from more than 22,000 submissions entered. As the only peer-based music award, the GRAMMY AWARDS are voted on by The Academy's membership body of creators across all disciplines of music, including recording artists, songwriters, producers and engineers.
