Since its Sunday, April 26 premiere and pre-show on Disney Channel and through twelve encore linear telecasts on Disney Channel and Disney XD, the music-focused special and its pre-show have reached a remarkable 11.9 million Total Viewers, 4.2 million Kids 6-11, 4.0 million Tweens 9-14 and 3.2 million Adults 18-49. Consumer engagement was also strong throughout the award voting process with 101 million votes tallied, an increase of 75% over last year.

SoundScan data shows that recording artists who performed on the special saw gains in Billboard music sales in the week following the awards telecast, including Billboard Top 200 Chart artists Sabrina Carpenter's "Eyes Wide Open" (+31%, Hollywood Records) and Fifth Harmony's "Reflection" (+20%, Epic Records).
