Ratings: American Idol down 5% from last week, down 3% from last season

American Idol continues to rule TV!

Dancing with the Stars was not able to beat Idol in total viewers this week. This is what you get when you have the most talented cast every assembled on the show.

B-B-B-BENNAY!

From TVbytheNumbers:

Of course Fox easily won the night as American Idol averaged a 7.5 adults 18-49 rating, that was down 5% from last Wednesday’s Idol, but upward adjustments for Idol in the final ratings have become typical in recent weeks so the decline may be less severe than the preliminary ratings indicate. Compared to the comparable “Top 10? episode last season it was down just 3% for adults 18-49, not too shabby.
