CMAs Have Their Best & Worst Ratings Ever…Thanks To Beyonce?

Published: Thursday 3rd Nov 2016 by Rashad

As Beyonce‘s show-stopping performance on last night’s CMAs continues to be a polarizing topic for racists some of the ceremony’s biggest supporters, more and more reports are surfacing sharing news on the controversial showing.

The latest?  Those pesky ratings!

Indeed, a number of outlets are reporting the 50th annual edition of the awards show, which aired live last night on ABC, finished with its lowest viewership to date.  Going head-to-head with Major League Baseball and losing fans due to a boycott promised by viewers displeased with Bey’s reported appearance, the CMAs managed to reel in in 12.5 million viewers (an all time low for the country extravaganza).

The strange twist? Social media is reporting the five minutes Beyonce was on stage gave the show its highest ratings ever.  Details inside:



Report:

Though country music has a large audience, the CMAs have never been able to equal the numbers of more mainstream awards shows. But from 8:47pm to 8:52pm, the CMAs ratings increased by a staggering 6,000%.

As soon as the performance was over, ratings immediately plunged even lower than earlier in the evening.

The quote above, lifted from a satirical web site, is being reported as fact by some.  Unfortunately, as of time reported, such claim has not been substantiated by any trusted ratings source – most of which have suggested the CMA’s historic plunge in ratings would’ve occurred regardless as the show was going head-to-head with one of the most anticipated baseball showings in recent history.

      • X_X November 4, 2016

        This is the most BOGUS LIE ever. Do the damn math. 6000% of 12mil is 720mil viewers. gtfoh. Why would yall even post something so absurd??

      • Jamie November 4, 2016

        lol
        so basically beyonce caused the rating fell.
        they better invite adele or gaga.
        beyonce was a mistake.

    • Girl November 4, 2016

      Lmaoo I remember how the beehive were buzzing around about how the show was going to have the most ratings ever and now look??????

      • Danny Beys November 4, 2016

        Did you read the f****** article? It clearly said the ratings skyrocketed only during Beyoncé’s performance and then fell again after it was over. Meaning people only watched her performance and then gave two f**** about the rest of the show. Continue your HookedOnPhonics training and keep applying for financial aid cuz you need to stay in school.

      • Jamie November 4, 2016

        Please change your name to “Illiterate Girl”. Please , thanks, and bye!

      • Taylor made November 4, 2016

        Better yet Please change name to ” this GIRL dumb asf” because you dont read

      • SMH November 4, 2016

        @Danny Beys maybe you need to read the article again. It clearly says that mess about highest ratings ever came from a SATIRICAL site. Meaning, it’s a LIE. Look up the word satire sometime when you take a breath from kissing beyonce’s asss.

  2. AaliRihCi November 3, 2016

    Love me some Bey screw the haters

  3. Hmmm… November 3, 2016

    Beyoncé has always been a good performer, but she has just been giving the performances of her life this era. Her VMA performance. Her Tidal performance. And now this. Her consistency is unparalleled. Furthermore, I just read Taylor Swift say, “I haven’t met anyone who works harder than me in my industry”. Still trying to comprehend this…

    • leveinard November 3, 2016

      Does that twig bish know she don’t have a voice (in-studio or live)? Does that twig bish know she can’t dance. Does that twig bish know her success comes from a white girl who faked a country career for years? Girl, bye.

      • Hmmm… November 3, 2016

        Maybe by “work hard”, she’s referring to the dozens of men she beds each week to sustain her career. Maybe that’s what she means. Yeah, Taylor. I’ve never seen anyone in the industry work harder than you either, girl. You right.

    • Lmfao_Hoe November 3, 2016

      I know that dumb b**** didn’t say such a thang like that did she? gurl she done played herself.

    • Girl November 4, 2016

      Too bad no one cared enough to watch her ???

  4. Metzo November 3, 2016

    I was so disgusted by the hateful comments last night.
    The racists and sexists were showing themselves!

    • @ASAPicon November 3, 2016

      hey girl, I miss u, How u been? Its FC

  5. Mark111 November 3, 2016

    No one is reporting this. This site is making it up for hits. How is it the show best ratings when you only gave a % of the alleged increase? No one was watching, really had nothing to do with Beyonce since last year’s show was the lowest as well. Why watch this crap when you had to chance to witness a once in a life time win by the Cubs?

    • Jay November 3, 2016

      Sorry its been reported .. all over twitter .. give credit where its due .. she gave them their highest ratings in 50 years!!!!!!!

      • LB November 3, 2016

        Twitter….lol ok

      • Mark111 November 3, 2016

        Nelson > anything else > twitter
        .
        The pest are sounding like Lil Kim best selling pay pal album of all time. Rubbish.

      • Girl November 4, 2016

        That was a satire website they make s*** up just for fun

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) November 3, 2016

      True..i agree. I mean the world series games had over 34 million viewers. That is more than both the 2016 and 2015 oscars. But bey performing generated more online buzz on twitter than the CMA’S itself..she had more tweets than all of the performers combined..so a lot of people also tuned in to watch her. I wonder what the number would have been had she not perform at all….CAUSE SHE IS ALL EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT FROM THE SHOW.

      • Mark111 November 3, 2016

        It still the lowest ratings to date. I don’t care about twitter, Twitter is not as big as you think. So this post is fales.

  6. gilbert November 3, 2016

    YOU KNOW YOU THAT BIH WHEN YOU CAUSE ALL THIS CONVERSATION, ALWAYS STAY GRACIOUS BEST REVENGE IS YO PAPER! This LEMONADE era will go down in history, every single performance from this era has been viral and controversial. truly ICONIC!

  10. LB November 3, 2016

    I asked for receipts on Twitter and all I got were crickets and tumbleweed

  11. The truth November 3, 2016

    Humm I wonder why this site hasn’t posted about the forbes top female earnings for 2016 I guess because Beyonce is #5 this year and Rihanna beat her lol

    • LB November 3, 2016

      With free streams and Aunti flop era, with Empti world tour, how did she make more money than Beyonce?

      • The truth November 3, 2016

        Ask forbes magazine honey Rihanna made more off of anti then Beyonce did off of lemonade lol

    • Hmmm… November 3, 2016

      That info was released and posted about months ago you moron, and those earnings are from 2015. Beyoncé sat on her ass for $55 million while Frih was covered from head to toe endorsing everyone else’s brand possible for an extra 20. Let’s not do the math, because it is not in her favor.

      • The truth November 3, 2016

        This is for 2016 stupid don’t be mad look it up

      • Hmmm… November 3, 2016

        You’re actually retarded. The 2016 Forbes measures income from 2015, dummy. Don’t be mad. Look it up.

      • LB November 3, 2016

        This is what Forbes says on their website, “our list measures income from June 1, 2015, to June 1, 2016 before taxes and management fee”

        So unless Lemonade was released after June 1, it was counted.

      • Hmmm… November 3, 2016

        Death. You left out a big chunk sweetheart. But never you mind, I posted it below. However, this is also on the site. “The No. 4 spot goes to Rihanna, who pulled in $75 million, churning out radio hits and touring while adding to her total through endorsement deals with Dior, Puma, Samsung and Stance. Beyoncé rounds out the top five with $54 million. She turned betrayal into Lemonade, her sixth No. 1 album, but she still makes the bulk of her bucks on the road.”

        Death at Forbes listing the million and one Frih projects, Radio hits. An album. A tour. Dior. Puma. Samsung. Stance. All beside Yonce’s lonely album release.

She has to pick up so many extra projects to even begin to compete with the other girls.

How many deals did she have just to get a $20m lead on THE QUEEN? Beyonce is coming to claim her spot at the top next June and will widen her gap as the female celebrity to earn the most money since Forbes started tracking. ?☕

      • Blue Ivy Rod November 4, 2016

        Didn’t Beyonce have her tour with Jayz, Her athletic wear,etc.. during that time?

    I am disgusted at this reach. I am even more disgusted at the fact that some glorified performing arts drop out with daddy issues and marital problems who has no originality, no creativity and no musicianship was performing at the CMAs.

        Madge barely did A THING and still earned 76million and got that Billboard thing….noww thats the shade of it all

      • LB November 4, 2016

        It’s a FACT

      • applejuice November 4, 2016

        Madge is smart. She gets alot of money from LIVE NATION. She gonna be on top of this list FOREVA!

      • LB November 4, 2016

        Well she has been in this game for a long time, of course she’ll negotiate better terms. It is like being a Financial Analyst with 10 years of experience under your belt, of course you’ll ask for more money than someone with 3 years.

      • applejuice November 4, 2016

        She has some kind of deal with Live Nation, Jay has something with them as well but not as big as hers. Then for her to negotiate something so massive being a woman, ok MADGE go get your Billboard award

  18. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? November 4, 2016

    Lol! She won… as usual. Just as I suspected, the racist closet stans tuned in for those five minutes to watch her and then returned to bashing her on the internet.

    • LB November 4, 2016

      Except these statistics TGJ is quoting are made up

      • applejuice November 4, 2016

        Actually another site reported this but Bey always have you pressedt so carry on

      • LB November 4, 2016

        Which site, unless they come from Neilsen, it is more than likely made up

      • applejuice November 4, 2016

        Yall non Bey fans know more about her than her own fans…interesting

      • LB November 4, 2016

        So does this “site” quote neilsen or not?

      • applejuice November 4, 2016

        Girl i am not gonna go back and look where i saw it at. IDK if Nielson was quoted or not. Beyonce have yall pressedt, its not that serious

      • LB November 4, 2016

        So it’s not quoting neilsen then, meaning that statistic is most likely made up

    I’m tired of all these sh!!ts

    Black ppl are hypocrite af !
    When y’all have BET, SOUL TRIAN n all these “black events” and dont want any white performer in be included… When y’all making all the drama in the world when a white person say “N!gga” and y’all saying it to each other ALL THE TIME! .. STOP IT
    … bye blacky

    • Jasmine November 4, 2016

      Stop generalizing people. All black people are not the same and do not think or act the same. Last time I checked BET and Soul Train awards honor a genre of music (R&B and Hip-Hop) so when a white artist with a hit record in those categories wants to perform their agent gets them booked on those shows. Ever heard of Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Sam Smith, Iggy, Ariana Grande or legends like Tina Marie? All of them have been on the BET Awards.

  22. Keri Qween November 4, 2016

    Like…nobody? Lol

    Lmao oh my God, reading this post and comments today truly proves that beyonce’s fans are indeed the dumbest fanbase on earth. I just can’t lmao.

    • applejuice November 4, 2016

      yea and im pretty sue its a bunch of rihanna fans in here too soo…there’s that

  25. Rosie November 4, 2016

    Nobody gonna mention that it was on against the World Series which had 40 million viewers? Either way the song went from the 900s to top 20 on iTunes, she still won. Majority of the country songs in the top 10 right now that got the boost there were already top 30 before the CMAs.
    And death at the Navi, who I thought scheduled a #Brexit-like exit of this site, bragging about net worth like they’re not living off of SNAP and Burlington Coat Factory dresses.

      SCREAMING @ SNAP and Burlington Coat Factory Dresses!

  26. Abullagamayjenkins November 4, 2016

    Beyonce is cute, but why her belly hanging out with her drawls hanging down like it’s falling off. I didn’t get to see it but I read she was straining and the loud music drown out her vocals. Since they applaud the dixie chicks, beyonce made the worst and the best from her song.

    • applejuice November 4, 2016

      you must heard it from the white supremacists that was calling her racist names. Their performance was beautiful

  27. Blue Ivy Rod November 4, 2016

    So no one is going to talk about how TGJ did say this was a rumor and there is no evidence of this but somehow the HIVE missed that? This is why people think y’all are pressed, Beyonce did well (I couldnt really hear her, I think they turned down her mic)but it wasn’t some godsent performance.

    • Briano November 4, 2016

      Cause she’s s fraud

  28. The truth November 4, 2016
