American Idol’s ratings bounced back nicely this week. In fact, the total estimated audience for Sunday’s show checked in a 5.36 million. That’s up slightly from last season’s Top 7 show (5.27 million). That’s up 5 percent over the previous week’s show (5.07 million). And it’s Idol’s largest audience since the Hollywood Week episode…
Hannah Harper continues to appear the clear favorite heading into the final two weeks of American Idol Season 24. Based on Facebook views, Hannah scored the most popular performane during both rounds of the competition Monday night. That’s in spite of highly-praised performances from Keyla Richardson and Jordan McCullough. And it continues a trend…
