Miley's Moves Seduce 10 Million Viewers for the VMAs, Up 47 Percent in the Demo

Sneer all you want at Miley's crotch-thrusting antics with Robin Thicke (for the four of you who weren't watching, see the entire Ron English-ish fever dream below)—the VMA's were outrageous enough to nab 10.1 million total viewers and a 7.8 rating among people 12-34 (the network's target demo). It's especially good news considering the heavily sponsored program's dismal performance in 2012, though it has a ways to go before it reaches the record-breaking heights of the year before.
