For Pam Healy‘s ‘Basketball Wives LA’, it would seem the only way is up…well, at least as far as its ratings go.
Now on its third season and occupying the 8pm time slot on Viacom‘s ‘VH1‘, last night saw its leading lady Draya Michele lead its cast towards viewing figures that surpassed the 3 million mark.
Details below…
Directed by Salim Akil and penned by Kenny Smith, season 7 of BET‘s ‘The Game‘ kicked off in spectacular fashion on March 4th, marking the first serving of the show since September 3rd 2013.
The above, facts any familiar with the series will already be aware of.
However, what these fans may not know, is that their support of the series helped it to pull in a viewing figure that made it the highest viewed cable show of the night, beating the likes of MTV’s ‘Teen Mom’ FOX‘s ‘Family Guy’ and ABC‘s ‘Pretty Liars.’
Now find out why members of the general public have cited R&B royal Brandy as the driving force behind the season’s success below!
4.6 million.
Much to the delight of NBC’s ‘Bravo’, the above stood as the number of viewers who tuned in to this week’s episode of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’!
Marking the highest viewed episode of the show’s current season, the serving’s groundbreaking ratings came as audiences descended on it to witness the aftermath of a brawl involving all of its central and current supporting cast, including Brandon DeShazer– seen defending Peach carrying pal Kenya Moore in the clip above.
Will next week’s episode fare just as well?
Keep it locked on That Grape Juice TV to find out if it does next week!
BET‘s ‘Being Mary Jane’ ended Tuesday night a ratings champion, reports reveal. The Gabrielle Union-led show offered the network some of its best ratings to date with a whopping 5 million tuning in to see the show’s premiere.
“An average of 3.3 million viewers tuned in to check out BET‘s first original scripted drama series, Being Mary Jane at 10 PM Tuesday, after which an immediate repeat clocked 1.8 million. BET boasted that made it the No. 1 original series debut on cable for the 2013-14 TV season.”
The premiere comes six months after the scripted drama first appeared on BET as a 90-minute film. With 4 million reportedly tuned into that July showing, BET followed with an order for a full fledged series of the Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil-penned showing.
Praises have come pouring in for ‘Genie In A Bottle’ beauty Christina Aguilera for her stirring performance of ‘Say Something’ with A Great Big World at last night’s American Music Awards.
The ballad had already enjoyed a ride atop Itunes charts following its debut, but it seems Aguilera’s emotional showing – amidst high octane performances from Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, and more – won over enough fans to give the tune a boost back to #1.
They weren’t the only act to benefit from the ratings winning show:
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…
#Gladiators helped the highly anticipated return of ABC‘s ‘Scandal’ triumph over competitors this week with a whopping viewership.
Led by Emmy-nominated actress Kerry Washington, the series‘ season 3 opener opened to a series high of 10.5 million! The story below:
“With so much of Thursday’s attention fixed on three brand-new comedies, the spotlight may have been stolen by ABC‘s Scandal. The drama returned to the 10 p.m. hour with series highs, averaging a 3.6 rating with adults 18-49 — a 71 percent jump year-over-year — and 10.5 million viewers.”
The news came as a surprise to Washington, who spent most of the night tweeting the show’s faithful followers.
Via AccessHollywood:
“It really is amazing! I’m so happy that so many people caught up with the show on Netflix and with the DVD during our hiatus,” she said. “It feels like we were able to have a lot of new Gladiator converts.”
The folks over at ‘X Factor USA’ are undoubtedly breathing a sigh of a relief after last night’s episode showed signs of improvement from Wednesday’s abysmal ratings showing.
Indeed, not even the likes of Paulina Rubio, Demi Lovato, and Kelly Rowland were able to sail the sinking ship that brought in a series low in ratings for its September 11th premiere.
Full story below (via THR):
“The second night of The X Factor‘s third season gave Fox a win among adults 18-49, though the singing competition still saw steep drops from last year’s comparable episode.
The two-hour auditions averaged a 2.2 rating with adults 18-49 and 6.8 million viewers. In the demo, that’s a tenth of a point improvement from Wednesday’s one-hour opener, but a 30 percent fall from the sophomore run’s Thursday debut (3.1 adults).”

The report above surfaced just a day after outlets slammed the show for its season 3 premiere rating of 6.2 million – 22% less than its season 2 premiere.
The cast of ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ have much cause to celebrate today, now the ratings for the second half of their reunion special have hit the net!
Hitting VH1 at 8pm on Monday night, part two of their reunion brought in an audience of 4,126,000 million viewers- making it the highest rated cable program of the night.
Quite interestingly, this episode marks the second highest viewed episode of the entire season, outperforming its launch episode which secured 2.94 million viewers on April 22nd.
While failing to match or better its first half ( 4.19 million), the special’s ratings saw it best efforts made by FOX’s ‘Family Guy (2,870,000 million)’ and WWE Entertainment.
Coming in at #3, the Vince McMahon led wrestling series drew in 4,317 million with an Adult Rating (18-49) of 1.6%!
When the likes of Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Usher are taken out of the equation, R&B has oft struggled to find its footing in today’s terrain, struggling to match feats nabbed by its Pop adversaries.
Now, thanks to a number or radio programmers and label execs who’ve made it their mission to pour the genre’s best back into the mainstream, the last two years have seen a revival of the field….led by none other than ‘Let’s Just Be‘ sensation Miguel.

Oprah Winfrey‘s OWN celebrated yet another touchdown with ‘The Have and Have Nots’ – the long awaited debut of its creative union with filmmaker Tyler Perry.
The scripted drama, acting as the network’s first, found favorable viewership during its two episode premiere Tuesday night reports say.
“The 9 p.m. airing delivered 1.77 million viewers (1.57 million of them women age 25-54). The second episode at 10 p.m. grew to 1.8 million viewers (1.67 million were women 25-54).”
*******
Viewers may have been singing the show’s praises, but critics were singing a much different tune.
“Brian Lowry of Variety called the show “claustrophobically cheap, not to mention poorly written and indifferently acted.” He added that the show could potentially damage Winfrey’s legacy of uplift and self-empowerment.
Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times was even more scathing, calling the show ‘so awful that the awfulness appears intentional. Except that might make it interesting, and it just isn’t.'”
