The Grammys (CBS) had 15.4 million viewers, down 12% from last year
The biggest night in music broadcast by CBS, the Grammys, lost viewers this 2025 reaching 15.4 million viewers.
This is 12% less than the 2024 Grammys, which added 17.5 million viewers according to Nielsen Live audience data.
The Grammys were on a rapid growth path when the 2024 show marked a 34% increase over 2023.
The audience figures only included free TV but not online streaming on Paramount+, CBS.com and the CBS app.
It wasn’t all bad for the 2025 Grammys, though.
CBS claims the online broadcast was “the most social television program ever” with 102.2 million interactions.
As the Grammys had a philanthropic motive this year, nearly $9 million was raised during the ceremony for California wildfire relief efforts and an additional $15 million was raised throughout the weekend.
