Early ratings data by Nielsen showed that the U.S. television audience for Sunday's Grammy Awards show on CBS fell by more than eight million viewers and could be one of the lowest audiences on record.
Some 17.6 million Americans tuned in for the three and a half hour broadcast, a more than 30 per cent drop from 2017 when some 26.1 million television viewers watched.
If the early figures are confirmed when final data comes out later on Monday, it will be the least-watched Grammy Awards show since 2008, when 17.2 million people saw the television broadcast.
The lowest audience for any Grammy Awards show came in 2006, which drew an audience of 17 million.
