ABC’s live “Greatest Hits” finale enjoyed substantial week-to-week gains in adults 18-49 and total viewership.<\/p>\n
According to fast national data posted by Showbuzz, the two-hour broadcast averaged a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating and 3.60 million total viewers.<\/p>\n
While not a blockbuster performance, the episode markedly outdrew last week’s broadcast. That episode, which focused on the 2000-2005 period, posted a 0.6 rating and drew 2.41 million total viewers.<\/p>\n
Airing from 9-11PM ET, this week’s “Greatest Hits” was the third-most-watched of the series’ six episodes; only the 1980-1985 premiere and 1985-1990 episodes drew larger audience figures. It ties the 1985-1990 and 1995-2000 episodes for second-best in adults 18-49; only the premiere fared better in that regard.<\/p>\n
With performers like Ariana Grande, Adam Lambert, Smash Mouth, Sheryl Crow, Hunter Hayes, John Legend, and Richard Marx, Thursday’s episode focused on the entire 1980-2005 window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64524,"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],"tags":[233,6400],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
