Lady GaGa’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ Episode Earns Season-High Ratings

Published: Monday 18th Nov 2013 by Sam

Lady GaGa is not just accustomed to topping the charts, she’s also blazing the ratings too.

The ‘Applause’ singer earned just that during her ‘Saturday Night Live’ takeover this past weekend, thrilling with a well-received set of performances and skits in support of new album ‘ARTPOP’.

With all eyes on how the much-hyped episode would fare, the eccentric star silenced the naysayer with season-high numbers for the show.

Details after the jump…

Via NBC / TV By The Numbers:

*Saturday Night Live,” with host and musical guest Lady Gaga, averaged a 4.9/12 in household results in Nielsen’s 56 metered markets and a 2.6/12 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters, to match the show’s highest rating in metered-market households since March 9 (with host and musical guest Justin Timberlake) and equal SNL’s top 18-49 rating in the Local People Meters since Oct. 5 (with host and musical guest Miley Cyrus).

* Gaga’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” ranked as the #1 telecast of the night on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in metered-market households and 18-49 rating in the Local People Meters, outscoring all primetime programs on those networks in both categories.

Winning.

    Did it translate into record sales?

  2. WE FOUND RIHANNA. November 18, 2013

    GOOD RATINGS BUT WILL PEOPLE STILL BUY ARTPOOP? IF SO WILL IT MATCH HER 1ST ALBUM?

  3. Tisha November 18, 2013

    Because Gaga is a made for tv trainwreck, just when you think she can’t embarrass herself more she let’s a p******** pisser loose for a hit.

  4. Cicidancequeen November 18, 2013

    Who?

  5. Ju don’t even know November 18, 2013

    Still no ones buying artsh*t. Those “high ratings” don’t mean crap and are not going to save this shi*ty album when it flops.

  6. Obamacare November 18, 2013

    Gaga is the new Xtina. The public hates her. She better try out for a spot on the American Idol judging panel because it’s only down from here.

  7. DaHotNig November 18, 2013

    Damn haters at least say congrats before you start back hating! I love art pop! Now what was your fav doing Saturday night and did it break any records?

    • NT November 18, 2013

      what about the people who don’t stan for Ciara , Rihanna, and Katy. Some of us have faves with 2 diamond albums and have sold 31 million in the US alone.

    • ok November 18, 2013

      Flop

  9. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) November 18, 2013

    Too bad those ratings don’t translate to US album sales….album is flopping from nation to nation…

    • What Now November 18, 2013

      How ARTFLOP made number 1 on the UK chart with only 48k is beyond me. Where is Kidz Bop Kidz when you need them

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 18, 2013

        Miley Cyrus made #1 with 35K for Bangerz. UK music buyers are shady like that.

      • ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) November 18, 2013

        No disrespect to the UK but if Rita Ora can go number one there, anything is possible in the UK….

      • C squad above you all November 18, 2013

        Not Rita ora lmao

  10. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 18, 2013

    But of course the Circus was in town, people wanted to see the freak itself in action.

    Whatever the case, that still has not helped Artpop crawl back on the charts. Last time I checked, it’s still on struggle status.

  11. C squad above you all November 18, 2013

    Xtina is on the biggest singing competition show and still cant sell an album…

    • ok November 18, 2013

      You want to talk about selling albums while stanning for ciara? Lmfao. Come back when c error has sold 50M+ albums worldwide.

  12. NT November 18, 2013

    I hope her album sales increase due to this , and she did try EVERYTHING during that performance to get attention

  13. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 18, 2013

    If it wasn’t for Eminem, I’d be convinced this b**** put Interscope in the red.

    Drop her now and count your losses.

  14. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 18, 2013

    @NT

    She didn’t try EVERYTHING, she didn’t show the bulge from her tucked in penis.

    • NT November 18, 2013

      She jumped on-top of Rkelly ATTEMPTED to twerk. She didn’t do everything , but she tried to get EVERYONE’s attention

      • C squad above you all November 18, 2013

        Call that being desperate

  15. SISQO IS A LEGEND November 18, 2013

    HIGH RATING ON SNL FOR ACTING A FOOL..MEANWHILE T***** DADDY IS BEING CLOCKED BY HIS RECORD COMPANY FOR THAT DISASTROUS DROP FROM FARTFLOP

    • Barb 4 lyfe November 18, 2013

  17. The Boy Toy November 18, 2013

    This era has been a disaster. But I guess it’s karma for her and the little morons.

  18. PRESSED YOU ARE. DRAG YOU I WILL. ☺ November 18, 2013

    His album is still a overproduced flopping mess.

  19. LADY GAGA IS FLOPPPPP November 18, 2013

    Her album has sold 65,608 copies in the UK. But:
    Racking up only the ninth highest sale for a number one album so far this year, Artpop would likely have opened with a lower tally had it not been for the m** version of the album being priced at just £4.99 at Amazon and Sainsbury (£8.99 as iTunes), a fact which helped it to sell 30,211 copies on download.

  20. LastDOn November 18, 2013

    Once again Gaga out perform Katy and miley yet she’s a flop so what would u call katy n miley??

    • JOHNVIDAL November 18, 2013

  21. LastDOn November 18, 2013

    Gaga is #1 on TV while britney was on X-factor and her last album can’t sell 1million..

    • Barb 4 lyfe November 18, 2013

      So worried about Britney when you need to be buying all the copies of chartflop that you can.

    • The Boy Toy November 18, 2013

      Britney was still selling big time and snatching wigs 5 years into her career though. GimmickGa is on her last 15 minutes.
