Ratings: American Idol up 1% from last week, down 8% from last season

American Idol won the night again, even improving from last week. The show is a success people! This is what happens when you have the most talent that the show has seen in years.

From TVbytheNumbers:

Of course Fox easily won the night as American Idol averaged a 7.7 rating with adults 18-49 and 23.5 million viewers. ‘Idol’ was up 1% from last week with adults 18-49, but down 8% versus last year’s comparable episode. But with 10% year/year declines being the recent norm, Fox can still say “Simon who?”
