MTV VMAs Ratings Up 66% with *NSYNC & Miley Cyrus' Help!

It was a highly buzzed about evening with the reunion of ‘NSYNC at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards held at the Barclays Center on Sunday (August 25) and now the ratings reflect what happened during the show.

The telecast averaged 10.1 million viewers throughout the evening, which is up 66 percent over last year’s viewership of 6.1 million people, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It is important to note though that last year’s show was on a Thursday night.

The show, which also featured a much talked about performance from Miley Cyrus, did not break the record set in 2011 when Beyonce revealed her pregnancy on the red carpet.
