New week, new Nielsen top 10!
There were a few more dramas on the top 10 list this week compared to last week. The Walking Dead took the number one spot this week as the midseason finale served up a major plot twist for fans of the series as the show departed from the comics. The AMC series scored over 1.2 million interactions. Empire came in at number seven with 278,000 interactions. Psych‘s return got fans buzzing, as Psych: The Movie scored the number eight spot with 254,000 interactions.
The CW scored two spots as Riverdale and Supernatural came in at number nine and 10, respectively.
As a refresher: the Content Ratings use the total number of social interactions across Facebook and Twitter to rank the top 10 series/specials and sporting events, separately. The chart includes uniques, which are “unique social media accounts that have authored original content related to a linear TV episode or engaged with that content,” and interactions, which are “original social media posts related to a linear TV episode and the engagement with that content.”
