Adele's TV special One Night Only which aired on Sunday, was ratings gold for network CBS.
Other than the NFL, the show drew the biggest Sunday night audience for any network's entertainment programme so far this season.
An average 9.92 million US viewers watched the British star perform past hits and songs from her upcoming album 30, as well as an interview with media mogul Oprah Winfrey.
Adele performed in front of an A-list audience at the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles and without a rehearsal.
Her fourth studio album 30 is set for release this Friday.
