For stars like Amy Winehouse Grammys, LALATE was number one across the board, the number one (a) read online news site, (b) ranked news site on search engines, and (c) voted news site by fans on social bookmarking sites.

For its Grammy Coverage, LALATE posted its second highest readership for 2008, only behind LALATE’s Super Bowl Coverage the week before.
