Empire’s success makes Cookie SO HAPPY!
UPDATE: Empire, American Idol, Arrow and Survivor were each adjusted up a tenth while black-ish, Nashville and The 100 were each adjusted down a tenth among adults 18-49 versus the preliminary Wednesday broadcast ratings. Via TVByTheNumbers
There’s no stopping Empire. The FOX freshman musical drama rises for the SEVENTH consecutive week, setting another series hight. American Idol fell 2/10ths, but will likely rise a 1/10th when the finals are released later today. It actually BEAT the Survivor premiere, which is down a bit from last spring’s cycle. Amazing Race matched last spring’s premiere.

On FOX, American Idol earned a 2.6, down two tenths from last week’s 2.8 adults 18-49 rating. Empire earned a 5.3, up a tenth from last week’s 5.2 adults 18-49 rating, rising again for the seventh consecutive week and setting yet another series high.

Nashville notched a 1.4, up a tenth from last week’s 1.3 adults 18-49 rating.
