Note: Due to late-running, live DNC coverage, the ABC primetime lineup started late on the west coast. The delay may lead to greater-than-typical revisions in the final ratings report (though the effect of last week’s RNC-related delay was minimal).
From a live+same-day standpoint, Thursday’s “Greatest Hits” was the lowest-rated and least-watched of the five broadcasts.
According to fast national data posted by Showbuzz, Thursday’s episode drew a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating and 2.41 million total viewers. The series low numbers trail the 0.7 rating and 2.89 million viewers drawn by last week’s episode, figures which then ranked as lows for the music-themed series.
Thursday’s “Greatest Hits” focused on the music from 2000-2005. Performers included Fifth Harmony, Rachel Platten, LeeAnn Womack, Little Big Town, Zendaya, Mario, Pat Monahan, and Kenny Loggins. Co-host Kelsea Ballerini also performed a medley of hits by Shania Twain, Maroon 5, and Britney Spears.
“Greatest Hits” concludes with next week’s live, two-hour finale.
— ABC’s other Thursday shows included “BattleBots” (0.8, 3.39 million total viewers) and the aforementioned DNC coverage (live broadcast, fast national rating of limited relevance).
