American Music Awards Draw Record-Low Ratings With 2022 Ceremony [#AMAs]

If the official ratings report is anything to judge by, Americans were none-too-impressed with the 2022 American Music Awards that aired Sunday night (November 20).

Viewership = 3.3 million

Despite boasting dynamic performances from the likes of P!nk, Cardi B and Glorilla, Missy Elliott and Anitta, Yola, and historic wins for the likes of Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, and Beyonce, their combined star power apparently wasn’t enough to court high viewership figures for the ailing awards show as the 2022 edition of the ceremony drew its lowest ratings to date.

Report:

“ABC’s presentation of the American Music Awards on Sunday night averaged just 3.3 million total viewers and a 0.6 demo rating, down sharply from last year’s early numbers (3.8 mil/1.0) to mark all-time lows.”

While it should be noted the 3.3 million printed above does not include DVR ratings or simulcast data from other networks (i.e. HULU Live, TNT, etc.), the results from those counts likely won’t have a huge impact on total viewership.

The news comes just days after Chris Brown fans called for a boycott of the award show after it was revealed they cut his Ciara-assisted tribute to the 40th anniversary of Michael Jackson‘s ‘Thriller‘ for ‘unknown reasons.’
