Isn’t Michael Jacksons funeral no 1 now? It broke the billion barrier too.
A satellite broadcast for an Elvis Presley show live from Hawaii, titled “Aloha from Hawaii” on January 14, 1973 is reported to have reached over 1 billion viewers globally.[39][40] Some breakdowns of the figures suggest 40% of the Japanese television audience,[41] and 91.8% of the television audience in the Philippines,[42] with an estimated 51% of the American television audience[41] when it aired later in America on April 4, 1973.[41][43]
Kay no i believe MJ’s funeral is #2. The funeral of Her Royal Highness’s Diana, Princess of Wales is #1 with over 2.5 BILLION People having watched it makeing it the most watch event on tv in history.

No doubt it´s Michael Jackson Funeral.
All major TV networks in word from Fox, CBS, CNN, MTV to Globo[Brazil], TPA[Angola] broadcasted it, most also did it in Diana funeral, but the internet streaming [CNN alone 9 milion, Facebook - 7 million, Justin.tv, Hulu setting their own records…
Diana got India, and most of Western world stopped.. but many TV networks in Asia, Africa and Middle East didn´t broadcast it. And no Internet option at the time…
Elvis and Neil Amstrong didn´t have that much TV sets in most of Asia and Africa by their time and no Broadband available but they scored the highest possible for their time ….
China Olympics don´t make Me Laugh, even though close 1 billion Chinese viewers is a strong number didn´t bounce internet traffic… and many networks wheren´t broadcasting.
Here goes the true list:
#1 - Michael Jackson Funeral
#2 - Diana Funeral
#3 - Obama Inaguration
#4 - Beijing 2008 Olympics
# 5- Man landing in the moon

1.8 billion just watched barcelona - real madrid + millions probably over the internet
This concert is the most viewed spectacle in Earth’s history. This was simultaneously viewed/tuned by 1.67billion individual T.V. sets. In this year 1973, the Earth’s total population was 3.93billion compared with April 2009’s 6.77billion…. The total number of television sets worldwide was estimated then at 3.2billion. Therefore 52.2% of all television sets worldwide were tuned to this one event. It is worth noting that these figures represent the broadcast event at simultaneous transmission, many countries and provinces only picked up the broadcast several days later, most reliable figures available estimate this to be a further 793million sets, therefore totalling 2.46billion or 77% of all televisions on Earth. Assuming half of the T.V. sets had more than one (taken as 2, this measurement method is an industry standard) people viewing them, allowing thus for family viewing, then best estimates put this at a global viewing (at broadcast) figure of 2.51billion people or 64% of the Earth’s population viewing the same event at the same moment in time. This record has stood over 35 years and is likely to stand until a suitably epic event occurs.
oops, Elvis Aloha from Hawaii
MJS funeral becomes the largest viewed event in world history with a viewership of 35 billion people worldwide
there are not 35 billion people in the world. its more like 6 or 7…
Freddy, you’re an idiot, there aren’t even 35 billion people in the world, the worlds population is not even 7 billion.
Old Fart quoted his stats from Wikipedia, which is not even reliable, so find reliable facts people.
Pedro apparently does no know what televised means…that does NOT count internet streams because that is not televised.
If you can’t quote reputable stats from a good reliable source, you’re just stupid.
Worldwide coverage of September 11th wasn’t #1? I really find that hard to believe!
HEY ALL U GUYZ ARE MAD!!! THE NO. 1 EVENT ALWAYS AND EVER IS THE 2010 WORLD CUP…..NO 1 CAN BEAT DAT!!
I THINK IT WAS EDSA REVOLUTION PEOPLE POWER 1 AND EDSA REVOLUTION PEOPLE POWER 2.
