The Grammys are Sunday. Will you be watching?
Trevor Noah is going to host the 47th annual Grammys (it’s his fifth year in a row) on Sunday night (February 2). Given that the Grammys are nothing but a mainstream mass-appeal primetime variety TV show, I’m not interested. I’d have a stroke if there was more than just a token nod to anything rock-related.
With that in mind, here are the results of a study by something called Japan-101 (no idea; it’s some kind of digital PR agency) featuring the most-watched Grammy performances of all time. I honestly don’t know if I’ve seen any of these, so I’m obvious a bad, bad Grammy person.
