EuphoricVibez Banned 303 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The Billboard Music Awards hit a new record-low rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic Wednesday, when the NBC awards show fell 62% from last year’s event. In terms of total viewers, the 2020 BBMAs were down 55% from the 2019 telecast. Last night, the Billboard Music Awards garnered a 0.8 rating and 3.6 million viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen data. In May 2019, last year’s BBMAs received a 2.1 rating and 7.96 million viewers in those same early returns, and adjusted up to 8.019 million viewers in final numbers. It’s important to keep in mind here that awards-show ratings have continued to decline in recent years and have been hit particularly hard in 2020 due to the pandemic, which has shifted several shows away from their normal airdates — including the Billboard Music Awards. https://www.thewrap.com/nbc-billboard-music-awards-ratings-record-low-masked-singer-amazing-race 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joannesrats PronounsHe/Him Community Leader 2,817 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Well that's what happens when you have no A list performers and very little promotion on social media. I didn't see anyone talking about it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunade The Popster 149 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 In general no one watches award shows the way they used to anymore. The music scene in general switched. Rarely do artists ‘reign’ anymore, they’re just lucky to get a hit and keep it moving quickly for the next big thing. It’s all too manufactured, boring and forced now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I didn't even know where Demi had performed until I saw this thread. I just knew she performed for something. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast PronounsShe/her/hers Popstanne 5,076 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 John Legend apparently gave a moving performance dedicated to Chrissy Teigen (who two weeks ago prematurely gave birth to their son who only lived a few minutes before dying). I watched it online and bawled. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franch Toast PronounsShe/her/hers Popstanne 5,076 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Just now, admin said: Just watched it and it was really sad :( So sad for them. Yes. I read her Tweets when things were unfolding, and my heart broke for them. But I think it's good they're so open about this. Miscarriage and giving birth to a child who dies soon after are taboo topics, but they impact a lot of people. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
