Despite offering many-a-jaw dropping moment from tongue-in-cheek tackling of social and political issues to shocking wins and upsets, the 92nd Academy Awards itself was far from a winner (on the ratings front).

Drawing a considerable drop in viewership from last year’s numbers, the nearly four-hour hostless affair pulled in even lower figures than its 2018 edition (which previously held the record for lowest views as we reported here).

It appears not even the combined forces of Ariana Grande, Lizzo, Billie Eilish, and Camila Cabello would be enough to save this year’s Grammys from failing to attract viewers.

Indeed, after preliminary ratings reports indicated a low tune-in for the Alicia Keys-hosted affair, today’s official and final figures confirm the previously suspected:  folks were simply not here for Grammys 2020.

Garnering its lowest total viewership figure ever, tuck in below to see exactly how many tuned in:

‘Love & Hip-Hop: Miami’ blazed back onto screens this week and is delivering.

No doubt due to its widely publisized return of reality favorite Joseline Hernandez. 

As reported, the Puerto Rican Princess fell out with the show’s creator Mona Scott Young and ultimately left the Atlanta branch of the franchise acrimoniously.

Fences have since been mended and the star will feature as an integral cast-member of the newest ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ spin-off.

And while her debut was only teased in this episode, the hype has helped drive up ratings.

Just two weeks after nabbing a ratings winner with Kelly Rowland‘s ‘Merry Liddle Christmas,’ Lifetime struck TV gold again with another Platinum-selling R&B diva:  Ashanti.

As we reported here, the Grammy winner played double duty as she not only led the cast of ‘A Christmas Winter Song’ – one of the channel’s whopping 30 holiday films this season – but was also credited as a producer. Also starring Stan Shaw, Sashani Nichole, and many other familiar faces, ‘Song’ – which premiered on the women’s network on December 14 – went to ratings battle against some of cable’s top rated news, sports, and reality programming.

‘Commander’ singer Kelly Rowland commanded yet another solid viewing audience for Lifetime, this time courtesy of her starring role in the holiday film, ‘Merry Liddle Christmas.’

Airing last Saturday, the movie – loosely based on a true story from one of the Grammy-winner’s past Christmas hosting experiences gone wrong – tells the story of a successful single tech entrepreneur [portrayed by Rowland] who hosts her dysfunctional family in her new home over the holiday.

Executive produced by Kelly and husband Tim Weatherspoon, ‘Christmas’ went to ratings battle against the likes of highly anticipated Hallmark holiday films, “must see” college football, and more on November 30.

Selena Gomez‘s highly anticipated return to stage, a career-spanning showing from Taylor Swift, and commemorative performance from Toni Braxton were undoubtedly among the draws that lured viewers into this year’s Ciara-hosted American Music Awards.

Yet, not even their combined star power (alongside stage-blazing performances from chart-toppers Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, Halsey, Lizzo, and more) were enough to save the 47th annual edition of the ceremony from its lowest ratings to date.

2019 has seen Ciara‘s brand level up in more ways than one thanks to a slew of endorsement deals for big names in fitness, fashion, health, beauty, and more. However, one of the singer’s most celebrated boss moves was a foray into movie and television development – a venture crowned by attaching her name as executive director to Nickelodeon’s ‘America’s Most Musical Family’ (as we first reported here).

A reality music competition, the new series sees 30 families from across the country compete for a $250,000 cash grand prize and recording contract with Republic Records.  In addition to production credits, Cici also lines the judging panel alongside David Dobrik and 80’s teen sensation Debbie Gibson.

Upon its premiere on November 1, the Nick Lachey-hosted showing kicked off to a promising start on the critical and ratings front.  Details inside:

As excitement grows for the live action film rendition of ‘The Little Mermaid’ (click here to read more), Disney and ABC teamed to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the animated adaptation of the classic tale by bringing it to a live audience.

Assembling a star-studded cast that featured the likes of Auli’i Cravalho (“Ariel”), Queen Latifah (“Ursula”), Shaggy (“Sebastian), John Stamos (“Chef Louis”), Graham Phillips (“Prince Eric”), and more, the semi-live musical – which aired November 5 –  used stunning graphics, props, and costumes to bring to life the celebrated story and – of course – reimagined versions of the toon’s beloved musical numbers (‘Kiss the Girl,’ ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls,’ ‘Under the Sea,’ and ‘Part of Your World’).

With those powers combined, to say ‘Little Mermaid’ made a splash on Tuesday night’s ratings is an understatement.  More inside:
