The 2023 Grammys, back in their usual winter home after running in April and March the past two years, delivered 12.4 million viewers, according to time zone-adjusted fast national ratings from Nielsen and including streaming on Paramount+ and CBS apps. (Final ratings, which will give a better sense of the on-air and cross-platform breakdown, will be available Tuesday morning.)

That’s a nearly 30 percent improvement on the 9.6 million, who watched the 2022 awards — though the latter figure is a TV only audience.

The awards put up their best numbers on CBS since 2020, the last ceremony held before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Sunday’s show was behind 2020 by 34 percent in total viewers (vs. 18.69 million).

Though per usual no specific numbers were attached, Paramount+ says the awards drew the biggest live-streaming audience in the service’s history.
