Did you catch Billy Joel's 100th concert celebration, "The 100th - Live at Madison Square Garden," on Sunday night? It was a hit with 5.7 million viewers, making it one of the top specials of 2024 so far! Only the Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globes had more viewers this year.
This concert outperformed big shows like the Emmys and even beat out popular holiday specials like NBC's "Christmas at Graceland" and ABC's "CMA Country Christmas." CBS, the network that aired it, saw 5.7 million viewers tuning in, and that's not even counting the streaming numbers!
Before the official ratings were out, fans were already buzzing about the concert. People were upset when the show ended two minutes early in some time zones, cutting off Joel during "Piano Man." CBS apologized and promised a second broadcast because fans were so eager to see the full performance. Billy Joel's fans really showed their love for him on social media!
