The inclusion of the other simulcasts yielded a total of 5.68 million.   That ceremony, it should be noted, faced competition from the seventh &#8220;Game Of Thrones&#8221; season finale.<\/p>\n<p>Performers at this year&#8217;s show included Aerosmith, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Nicki Minaj and Panic! At The Disco.  Jennifer Lopez received the Vanguard Award.<\/p>\n<p><em>**Viewership for the TV Land simulcast was not available at press time, but it does not appear to have drawn more than ~250,000 viewers.  It was certainly not enough to close the gap between the 2018 and 2017 ceremonies.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2018 MTV VMAs drew a smaller audience than the 2017 edition.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":117344,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[382,2667,689],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ratings: 2018 MTV Video Music Awards Ceremony Falls From Last Year<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The move to Monday night did not yield a ratings uptick for the MTV Video Music Awards.
