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.
