The Voice Season 5 Top 5 episode adds more viewers, gives The Sing-Off big ratings night
NBC's The Voice is THE powerhouse singing competition on the airwaves and it continues to dominate in the ratings for the Peacock. The show, which aired its Season 5 Top 5 performance episode on Monday, drew huge ratings and also helped its fellow singing show The Sing-Off score some big ratings.
The Voice hauled in 12.8 million viewers and a 3.4 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, which marked an increase in viewers from last week but the demo rating stayed the same. The Sing-Off, meanwhile, used that lead-in to the tune of 8.4 million viewers and a 2.4 demo rating in its Season 4 premiere. That marks a huge improvement on the Season 3 premiere, which drew 5.3 million viewers and a 1.9 rating, and the Season 3 finale, which amassed 4.2 million viewers and a 1.1 rating. Neither of those episodes had The Voice as a lead-in. The premiere also marked The Sing-Off's best demo rating since the Season 2 finale.
On Fox, Almost Human moved up one-tenth in the demo rating with a 1.8 and hauled in 6 million viewers. Sleepy Hollow's midseason finale dropped a tenth to a 2.1 demo rating and 6.5 million viewers.
Mike & Molly was the only new sitcom episode on CBS on Monday night and dropped 13 and 16 percent, respectively, to 7.6 million viewers and a 2.0 rating. Hostages stayed even in the demo at 1.1 and added a few viewers at 4.6 million.
ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight had 6.6 million viewers and a 1.8 demo rating, the best numbers for ABC in December in that time slot in five years. The numbers also represent a massive improvement over the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition numbers from the same time last year.
