Ratings: The X Factor wins Thursday

The X Factor was the #1 show last Thursday! It had a 3.1 rating and 10.20 million viewers which is steady from last week. Steady is a good word!

The rest of the numbers:

From TVbytheNumbers:

Fox won the night with adults 18-49 and total viewers. The X Factor's 3.1 adults 18-49 rating was even with its last Thursday original. Bones' 2.8 adults 18-49 rating was up a tenth versus its last original (though even with its fast national rating, Bones wound up being adjusted down a tenth in the finals two weeks ago). Steady is good, particularly entering the holiday season though two weeks ago, CBS wasn't in repeats so some might have been looking for more from Fox last night.

ABC took second place for the night with the classic Santa Claus Is Coming to Town which pulled a 2.2 adults 18-49 rating and a CMA Country Christmas special that drew a 2.1 adults 18-49 rating across its two hours and was up 50% year-to-year with adults 18-49.
