The Commonwealth Games closing ceremony pulled in the biggest TV audience of the whole event.
A peak audience of 9.7 million saw stars including Heather Small and Will Young perform at the spectacular closing show in Manchester.
The BBC1 coverage exceeded the Games' opening event which had 8.9 million viewers.
It is thought to be the biggest audience recorded for the Commonwealth Games.
The most popular TV event of the Games was the men's 4x400m relay final on Wednesday, when 7.5 million watched England grab the gold medal.
Paula Radcliffe's 5000m win a week ago was the second biggest hit with seven million watching.
Dave Gordon, BBC Sport executive editor for the Commonwealth Games, said: "The thousands of spectators in the stadia around Manchester gave all the athletes enthusiastic support and viewers in their millions added their applause for British sport from their living rooms."

Simon Cowell has admitted he works harder on Gareth Gates than Will Young.
They are both signed to his record label BMG.
But the Pop Idol judge says he puts more effort into Gareth even though he lost out to Will, reports The Sun.
Simon said: "I don't think Will wants to work with me and so I put my energies into Gareth.
"I don't think Will likes me very much. Maybe I was nasty to him.
"The difference between Will and Gareth is that Gareth wants to work with me and take my ideas and I don't think Will does. I suggested something to Will recently and he said no. I told him he was making a mistake.
"I would love to work with Will more but you can only do so much."

Will Young says he turned down the chance to duet with Gareth Gates on an Elvis cover.
He said he felt "uncomfortable" performing on the track Suspicious Minds.
The pair release their first joint single, The Beatles' The Long And Winding Road, on September 23.
The single is a double A-side which also features the Elvis Presley classic Suspicious Minds, sung by Gareth.
Will said: "Although I was invited to join Gareth to duet on Suspicious Minds, I was uncomfortable with the track and suggested he did it solo as it suits his voice well.
"It sounds fantastic and I hope both tracks go down equally well."
However he does perform a song on his own, Jackie Wilson's I Get The Sweetest Feeling, as a bonus track on the single.
Following the forthcoming release the two stars say they will "move on" to follow divergent career paths.
Will said: "After this, both Gareth and I will move on and take the different musical routes we both wish to follow."
