Viewership for the Grammy Awards hit a 12-year low on Sunday night, drawing an audience of 18.7 million who watched it live on television.

That is the lowest number for the Grammys since 2008, when Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab” won song of the year. But it represents a dip of only 5 percent versus last year’s ceremony, a modest decrease in a time when more people are switching to streaming.

Other awards shows have had sharp ratings decreases in recent years, but viewership for the Grammys, which is broadcast annually on CBS, has remained fairly constant. The audience for Sunday night was more than the 18.3 million viewers who tuned in for the Golden Globes ceremony this month, and it most likely ensures that the Grammys will finish as the second-most-watched awards program, behind the Academy Awards.

Last year, Emmy Awards ratings fell a jaw-dropping 32 percent, down to a record low of 6.9 million viewers. The Oscars, to be held next month without a host for a second year in a row, had an audience of 29.6 million viewers last year, a strong rebound from its record low of 26.5 million in 2018.
