The heavily anticipated Rihanna sit-down with Oprah Winfrey drew 2.454 million viewers to the young cable channel on its first airing, which is the second highest audience for the program in its history.
It is only second to the exclusive sit-down interview with Whitney Houston’s daughter shortly after her tragic passing (3.5m).
Previous guests on the show included The Kardashians (1.1m, 1.2m), Lady Gaga (0.8m), Steven Tyler (0.9m, 1.2m) and Pastor Joel Osteen (1.6m).
