Update:<\/b> Per final broadcast data, Wednesday’s “American Idol” drew a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating with 8.48 million viewers.<\/p>\n
Its very narrow lead over last week’s broadcast, which drew a 1.7 with 8.46 million, suggests that the heavy Kelly Clarkson involvement did not substantially move the ratings needle.
\n===============<\/p>\n
Effectively a tribute to original “American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson, Wednesday’s episode featured Clarkson as a mentor and guest performer. It also asked its contestants to exclusively select songs from her discography.<\/p>\n
An interesting endeavor, it did not make a noticeable impact on the ratings.<\/p>\n
Per fast national data, Wednesday’s “Idol” drew a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating with 8.01 million viewers at 8PM and a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating with 8.72 million viewers at 9PM. The performance was almost precisely on par with last week’s episode, which drew a 1.7\/8.07 million at 8PM and a 1.7\/8.62 million in the comparable fast nationals.<\/p>\n
Final data confirmed an average rating of 1.7 and average viewership mark of 8.46 million for last week’s broadcast.<\/p>\n
Among adults 18-49, this week’s “Idol” placed third at 8PM (behind CBS’ “Survivor” and ABC’s “The Middle”\/”The Goldbergs”) and second at 9PM (behind ABC’s “Modern Family”\/”black-ish”).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[19,255,711],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
