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

Published: Monday 21st Nov 2022 by Rashad

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).

Details inside.

 

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.’

    That’s cuz Taylor stiff flat ass was too heavily involved in promotion The girls as bland as three day old bread and crackers left out outside on the front porch

      Yup Taylor’s a bland boring scrawny flop that uses tricks to make herself look bigger then what she really is. Shell never be Whitney mj Madonna Prince or mimi. That’s just the truth

    But she sold out her STADIUM tour in 60 seconds. Lol you sound like a hater! Besides, this happens every year for award shows. No one cares about them anymore.

      Yet vma’s and grammy’s had higher viewers this year than last. No ome cares for Taylor swift. We don’t care about how many tricks she uses to manufacture her success eg releasing 20 versions of her album to heavily boost sales to over 1 million million week. Releasing more than 15 versions of her lead single “anti hero” sold at only 69 cents to keep number 1 spot. She is Irrelevant hence she still attends small award shows. The huge ones are vma’s and Grammy in which she isn’t the most awarded there unlike small ama’s that give her awards out of pity

        BARELY had higher viewership don’t emit that part. All awards shows are suffering. And all what bs you said about Taylor is just that, BS! But if it makes you feel better then so be it

    That’s because no huge stars attend, no ome wants to see Taylor bland capitalist. We want to see beyonce, Justin Bieber, Ed sheeran, Drake, Rihanna, Adele, the weeknd, Eminem, doja cat, meghan thee stallion etc
