The 54th Grammy Awards: Adele Takes Home Six Awards

In lieu of Whitney Houston’s death, The 54th annual Grammy Awards came in second place to the largest audience ever recorded in Grammy history.

LL Cool J’s prayer for Houston started off the night and Jennifer Hudson sang a rendition of Houston classic I Will Always Love You, which averaged a whopping 39.9 million viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen estimates.

That’s up a staggering 49% from 26.7 million last year and makes this years Grammy gig the largest Grammy audience since 1984, when 51.7 million tuned in.

Compared to last year’s Oscars — usually the year’s top-rated entertainment broadcast — drew 37.9 million. And this year’s less-popular film nominees means the Grammys could easily outdraw the Feb. 26 Oscarcast on ABC.
