* On Twitter, according to Amobee Brand Intelligence, the artist most talked about in real-time was Kanye West, who generated 948,181 Tweets during the event- no doubt thanks to his interruption of Beck’s Album of the Year acceptance as for his performances. Among others, Sam Smith (754,641), Rihanna (446,013), Ed Sheeran (352,449) Beyonce (342,558) and Pharrell singing Happy (294,894) were Twitter winners. Beck generated 39,123 tweets.

* On Spotify, the biggest artists streams of the night came from Annie Lennox and Beck. Between 7-8p ET and 12-1a ET, Lennox had a 147 percent jump in overall streaming, with a 211 percent spike for her performance of “I Put a Spell On You.” Beck’s streaming jumped 388 percent overall, with streams of his winning album Morning Phase increasing 524 percent.
