‘Dancing With the Stars’ Scores Season Best Ratings With Grammy Night

*Dancing With the Stars* posted its strongest preliminary ratings of the season on 10 November, as contestants performed Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated songs. The result extends the show’s year-on-year ratings rise and may set a new season high once final figures are available.

The episode averaged 7.33 million viewers on ABC and Disney+ in preliminary Nielsen figures, before the addition of the company’s big data component. It scored a season-best 1.58 rating among adults aged 18 to 49, equivalent to about 2.15 million viewers; the previous high was 1.56. The programme is averaging 6.89 million same-day viewers this season, compared with 6.1 million at the same point last season, and the competition has narrowed to six couples ahead of the 17 November semi-final.
