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…
* “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.
