The far-left Deadline newspaper reported, “The 66th Grammy Awards drew just 16.9 million viewers across CBS, Paramount+ and other digital platforms, according to early Nielsen data.”
That’s a 34 percent improvement compared to 2023, but the Grammys remained in the sweatshop for nearly a decade until President Donald Trump’s election in 2017 ushered in an era of arrogant, self-righteous, preachy walking Gestapo. It attracted an average of about 25 million viewers without ever airing it.
Of course, back in the glorious ’80s, when we were drowning in superstars and amazing music, nearly 30 million people tuned in.
“It’s very similar to the Golden Globes hosted by CBS.” report Deadline, “This is a positive sign for the awards show, which has largely struggled to recover its pre-pandemic numbers.”
Overall, Music’s Biggest Night has seen significant growth in recent years since drawing just 8.93 million viewers two years ago, with significant year-over-year growth in 2021-2022. I was unable to accomplish this.
The 2021 show was the least-watched Grammy Awards in history, but to be fair, it was one of the first in-person live television events during the pandemic, and it was scaled up without an audience. It was a scaled-down event. And this wasn’t the only awards show that saw audiences plummet during that period.
“Pandemic” *wink wink*.
It’s no secret why the Grammys went from drawing 26 million viewers in 2017 to fewer than 10 million viewers in 2021 and 2022. Like the rest of the entertainment industry, what used to be a conglomeration of the year’s best music over several hours has changed. Participate in a hate fest against half the country. Trump’s election exposed all the intolerance, fascism, entitlement, and snobbery in the entertainment world. America didn’t like what they saw and found something better.
The same goes for the Emmys, Oscars, Golden Globes…Hollywood hates normal people, but in a world where there are so many other entertainment options, we don’t want those other entertainment options. enjoying.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing that our culture is fragmented. Before the advent of mass media, which began with radio, fragmented cultures defined human existence. No central control body told us how to speak, what to wear, what to look at, read, or listen to. People might like it, they might think they have the space and time to think their own ideas about things, but there’s something about running in a group that appeals to human nature. century.
Hopefully everything is coming to an end. Sure, we’re all connected to the Internet’s mainframe, but more and more people are doing their own thing inside that mainframe. It has become a far cry from the world I grew up in, the world the world was obsessed with. Access only a handful of news and entertainment sources. This wasn’t a bad thing at the time. The work that came out of Hollywood was still normal, as opposed to today’s perverted, hateful, divisive and self-righteous stuff.
Another great thing about the internet is that you don’t have to suffer through a Grammy show or any goddamn awards show to see something that’s almost extinct in today’s pop culture: a moment of grace of unity. is.
We will give you a free signed book tag. purchase John Nolte’s debut novel borrowed time (Bombardier Books).
There is nothing predictable or formulaic about this novel. Nolte is a very talented writer and can turn a phrase around. The characterization was very well done and each one was a sophisticated little vignette. The characters are deeply engraved in your mind and make you want to keep reading. There is a very beautiful spiritual atmosphere to this whole book, and Nolte used different themes and symbolism than I remember any recent author. There are parts of this book that are like lyric poems. I laughed and cried and was very moved. — 5 star reviews
