Adele Tops Swift in Musician Faceoff, Nearly Beats Oscars – NBC 7 San Diego
[ad_1]
Adele drew 10.3 million viewers to a busy Sunday night special where she debuted new music, opened a marriage proposal, and spoke to Oprah Winfrey about her divorce and workout routine.
Company Nielsen said the CBS show almost had a bigger audience than the April Oscars, and will likely top it if late viewers are finally taken into account.
The two most popular musicians of the day had TV spots on the weekend to advertise new material. Taylor Swift’s 10-minute appearance of her song “All Too Well” on “Saturday Night Live” reached 5.8 million viewers and the clip has already been viewed more than 2.5 million times on YouTube.
The Academy Awards reached 10.4 million viewers the night it aired in April, and the audience rose to 10.7 million people who saw it on tape in seven days.
Live events generally fare poorly on delayed display, which leads to CBS’s confidence that Adele Oscar will eventually stand. CBS will likely repeat the musician’s special as well.
Sunday was tough for CBS. The late afternoon Green Bay-Seattle soccer game was the most watched event on television of the week, with 22.7 million viewers. That helped “60 Minutes”, which immediately followed the soccer game, to its largest audience since January.
CBS topped all of the stations, with an average of 6.1 million viewers at prime time. NBC had 5.7 million, Fox 3.83 million, ABC 3.75 million, Univision 1.5 million, Ion Television 920,000 and Telemundo 850,000.
ESPN led the cable networks with an average of 2.91 million prime-time viewers last week. Fox News Channel had 2.37 million, Hallmark 1.44 million, MSNBC 1.12 million and Paramount 897,000.
ABC’s “World News Tonight” led the evening audience race with an average of 8.3 million viewers. NBC’s “Nightly News” had 7.1 million and the “CBS Evening News” had 5.2 million.
