Sunday night's show, which featured an exclusive interview with Brown had 3.5 million viewers tuning in. According to Nielsen ratings quoted by OWN, the episode gave the network significant triple-digit growth across all key demos.

To put the numbers in perspective, the top-rated cable show for the last week of February - an episode of AMC's "The Walking Dead" - drew 6.7 million viewers while the top-rated network show for that period - an episode of "NCIS" on CBS - drew 18.1 million viewers.

Whitney Houston's brother Gary and his wife, Patricia, who was Whitney Houston's manager, were also interviewed. They all talked about the singer's death and how they're coping with their grief.
