FOX smash ‘Empire’ continues to deliver ratings of the epic variety.

Continuing its incredible run, the freshman series once again rose in viewership – for its ninth consecutive week.

Details below…

Last night’s episode of the Lee Daniels music drama commanded a giant audience of 14.33 million – representing a 3% increase from the March 4th episode. In the ever crucial 18-49 adult demographic, the show delivered a 5.8 rating.

The feat serves as quite the coup for cast (anchored by Terrence Howard, Taraji P. Henson) heading into its two-hour finale next week.
