5.7 million viewers tuned into 'Billy Joel: The 100th — Live at Madison Square Garden' on Sunday.

“ Billy Joel: The 100th — Live at Madison Square Garden” reached 5.7 million viewers on Sunday night. This tally also puts “The 100th” above several musical holiday specials that aired at the end of 2023, which are a consistent ratings-bringer for broadcast networks. High engagement was already clear before numbers came in for “The 100th,” evidenced by the fan outrage that sparked across social media after the telecast was accidentally cut off two minutes early in the Eastern and Central time zones, interrupting Joel as he sang “Piano Man.”
