Other fun facts: The most contemporary song on our list is British singer Duffy’s Grammy-winning 2008 single “Mercy,” and the song most commonly sung by the different shows’ overall winners is Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.” So perhaps after a dozen years of watching, studying, and analyzing these singing competitions we don’t, in fact, have them figured out after all? And while the artist whose songs are chosen most often isn’t too surprising (Stevie Wonder by a wide margin), the most commonly performed songs by some of the names on the list aren’t always what we expected (Beyoncé’s “If I Were a Boy,” for example) and only one musician’s songs appear twice in the top twenty (and it’s not Whitney Houston). The biggest revelation: The number of times any one song has been performed on a television competition is much lower than we anticipated, with the top tune appearing only seventeen times. So with American Idol kicking off its thirteenth season tonight, it had us wondering: Which songs have become go-to choices for the contestants competing on these programs over the years?Īfter a trip down a deep rabbit hole to research the song selections on twelve different American reality singing competitions (see our helpful note on how we compiled our data below), we discovered a lot of our previous theories about song choice were wrong. The right take on a well-known tune can win over with the judges - and the viewers - while a wrong note will send your reality-TV dreams home in a Ford-sponsored body bag. At 10 PM, during the second hour of the DWTS finale, Chicago Fire (1.6/5) fell 24%.Anyone who’s watched even five minutes of a reality singing competition since American Idol first became a phenomenon in 2002 knows that song choice is everything. The CW’s Supernatural (0.9/3) was down 10% from last week. Over on Fox, their comedies New Girl (1.3/4) and The Mindy Project (1.1/3) held up much better against the DWTS finale with a 7% slip for the former and an even with last week for the latter. Facing the DWTS finale and on a night that saw demo usage down about 5% on average from last week, the NBC comedies were down 27% and 23% from last week. The same could not be said for Marry Me (1.1/3), which had a 1-minute overrun from Voice, and About A Boy (1.0/3). Fellow 8 PM slotters The Flash (1.4/4) and MasterChef Junior (1.5/5) were both even with their November 18 shows However, with The Voice commonly seeing adjustments in the final number, that result could change. Even though it dipped 8% from last week’s strong showing, CBS vet NCIS (2.4/8) took the top spot for the first time. Unlike most Tuesdays this season, an original Voice was not the 8 PM slot winner among the demo. There was a double blow for the Voice actually. However, heading towards the finale of next month, last night’s 1-hour live show was down 15% from last week’s show. On NBC, the reality road to their finals continued as The Voice (2.3/7) had more eliminations to reach a Season 7 Top 8. Which means, if you hadn’t guessed, ABC solidly won the night with a 2.6/8 rating and 14.31 million watching. The 1-hour recap DWTS Road To The Finals (1.9/6) lead-in was up 11% over the similar clip show for the Season 18 finals on May 20 this year. That show got a 3.0/8 in the demo and 16.7 million viewers overall.
