American Idol Notches highest ratings of season 21, The Masked Singer 9 ends steady

The penultimate episode of American Idol season 21 on ABC notched its highest ratings in the key 18-49 demo of the season on Sunday for the week 5/14/23-5/20/23. However, the Monday clip show earned the lowest numbers of the season. Clip shows don’t generally garner big numbers. But considering ABC scheduled the clip show right after Jeopardy Masters, the HIGHEST rated show of the night (0.66, 5.8M), it’s hard to imagine ABC not being disappointed in those numbers. Idol lost almost half of Jeopardy’s lead in.

Meanwhile, over on NBC, The Voice–which went live for the first time this season–tied with FOX’s 911 for second highest demo of the night at 0.55. And it came very close to Jeopardy in terms of overall viewers. The key demo numbers were also the highest for the show since March 29.

Next up for American Idol and The Voice are their season finales. The Masked Singer season 9 finale aired on FOX on March 16 earning the show’s highest ratings since April 5.
