Only 2 semi big boxers lost their first fights within a week

Album did less than big Sean and French Montana

Most movies flopped

Starz is basically added with most digital cable packages .

According to Nielsen, the initial 9 p.m. telecast of “Power” averaged 1.082 million viewers — up from 754,000 one week earlier — and two quickie replays brought the show’s total for the night to 1.769 million. Counting all airings over the weekend, its nearly 2.5 million viewers is the largest total audience for a Starz finale since the conclusion of “Spartacus: War of the Damned” in April 2013.

Starz said that prior to the finale, episodes of “Power” had been averaging about 4 million viewers across all platforms, including Starz on Demand and Starz Play.

Just to put things in perspective...
White Collar has 2.8 million viewers.... so 50 Cent's show has way more viewers than white collar???

However.... viewers.
NBC Sunday Night Football, NBC (21.5 million)
The Big Bang Theory, CBS (20 million)
NCIS, CBS (19.8 million)
NCIS: Los Angeles, CBS (16 million)
Dancing With the Stars, ABC (15.2 million)
The Blacklist, NBC (15 million)
The OT, FOX (14.8 million)
The Voice (Monday), NBC (14.6 million)
Person of Interest, CBS (14 million)
The Voice (Tuesday), NBC (13.9 million)

But keep in mind this is Starz not a major like NBC

This article is very misleading.They're combining numbers from multiple show airings.It's also a paid promotion.Look at how they give you all the dates of the re-broadcast episodes to be aired on Black Encore.

that's not true
they are talking about viewers, if you re-watch you are a second viewer because you are also rewatchign commercials.
secondly..... why not? If ppl watch shows on different channels at different times then why not?

This is show ratings, not channel ratings!

[Michael's Black Son]

Personally, Id leave the music biz if I was him..

what you think he been doin

50 throughout his entire career has made muuuuuuch more outside of rap than from it. same with the majority of all the wealthiest hip-hop figures

i think people naturally like 50's personality and persona as the likable bad guy and want to fukk with him and his endeavors, it's just that musically he is a midget, this nikka has shown no growth at all in 12 years, he isn't appealing musically anymore to the masses. glad to see him winning in different areas tho, i'm a always rock with homie. QUEENS! Power the illest shyt since the Wire

 

[ThaPrez]

all the reviews seem positive... not just from stans, but objective voices too.

shame I ain't got Starz so I can't peep.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

This is the 1st real W in years for him. I'm happy to see it, he puts the work in. Knowing FIF, he gonna try to be back with 3 diff shoes next season

 

[BruhMayne]

the show got better as the season went on.

But damn...more black people watched Power than The Wire?!

All things considered, its not that surprising to me.

I've watched the Wire with females and kinda had to "explain" the greatness. Doubt they woulda continue watching on their own after Idris Elba died

I've watched Power with females and didnt have to say shyt. They just liked it off top. Plus in the social media word get around 10x as fast
