The Voice season 18 ratings ended on a low note, with the finale results show garnering a 0.9 in the key 18-49 demo and 7.4 million viewers. That’s down 1/10ths from Monday’s 1.0/7.6 million performance show. The ratings are also 1/10ths of a point lower than Sunday’s American Idol finale, which earned a 1.0 in the demo. However, The Voice finale earned more overall viewers, 7.4 million vs Idol’s 7.3.
While a The Masked Singer clip show over on FOX also garnered a 0.9 rating, tying with NBC for the top spot, it only earned 4.2 viewers. In other words, Masked Singer attracts a younger audience, which advertisers love.
For another comparison, last spring’s The Voice season 17 finale earned a 1.1 rating in the key demo.
Looking at the numbers for both The Voice and American Idol, it’s clear that viewers were not feeling the at-home format for either show. Simon Cowell as we speak is hatching a plan to get America’s Got Talent back in the studio sooner rather than later.
Overall, The Voice earned higher same day ratings than American Idol. But The Voice had more in studio shows banked, and aired them while network viewership surged at the start of coronavirus lockdowns.
