Music’s annual Grammy Awards drew the smallest TV audience since 2009, with just 25.3 million people watching as British soul singer Sam Smith grabbed four big wins. Featuring somber messages about domestic violence and civil rights, the Grammys still ranked as the most-watched awards telecast of the year so far, outpacing film’s Golden Globe Awards by 6 million viewers. But viewership this year dropped by more than 3 million viewers from 2014, when a tribute to The Beatles and a mass wedding attracted 28.5 million viewers and the show’s second-largest audience since 1993.
