\n\tThe 68th Grammy Awards<\/a> delivered a few historic moments, including an emotional Album of the Year win for Bad Bunny, but unfortunately for CBS<\/a>, the show\u2019s viewership declined for a second consecutive year.<\/p>\n

\n\tPer Nielsen Big Data + Panel, 14.4 million people tuned in for Sunday night\u2019s 2026 ceremony, down about 6.5% from last year\u2019s telecast<\/a>. It marks the second year of decline after the 2024 show\u2019s years-long high note<\/a>\u00a0of 16.9M viewers.\u00a0To be fair, Sunday\u2019s show is still the most-watched awards ceremony since last year\u2019s Oscars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tJust like last year, CBS points out that this year\u2019s ceremony was the most social program in all of TV over the past six months, including sports, which is actually pretty impressive. Per the network\u2019s stats, the Grammys<\/a> generated 74.8M total interactions and 302.5M total video views.<\/p>\n

\n\tHosted by Trevor Noah for the final time, the 68th Grammy Awards were held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs mentioned, Bad Bunny<\/a>\u00a0won Album of the Year for\u00a0Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos, the first Spanish-language album to win in the category. It came just one week before his anticipated Super Bowl LX halftime show.<\/p>\n

\n\tGrammys history was made in several of the major categories Sunday, including Kendrick Lamar<\/a>\u00a0as Record of the Year winner for his Luther Vandross tribute \u201cluther\u201d and\u00a0Billie Eilish<\/a>\u00a0and her brother Finneas O\u2019Connell for their Song of the Year triumph for \u201cWildflower.\u201d<\/p>\n
