Nielsen Social Ratings: Week of August 7 – August 13

As summer winds down, Nielsen Social Ratings will be ramping up in time for the return of fall television!

HBO scored with two of its Sunday night shows earning a spot on the Nielsen Top 10. Game of Thrones scored the top spot with over 1 million interactions while the critically acclaimed Insecure rounded out the top 10, with 152,ooo interactions.

In terms of other premium cable series, Power earned the number eight spot with 156,000 interactions.

Over on the reality side of programming, Big Brother, Love & Hip-Hop, and The Bachelorette scored spots in the top 10, with Big Brother coming in at number four, six, and seven.

Elsewhere, Teen Choice Awards scored the number two spot.

Check out the full social ratings below.

As a refresher: the Content Ratings use the total number of social interactions across Facebook and Twitter to rank the top 10 series/specials and sporting events, separately. The chart includes uniques, which are “unique social media accounts that have authored original content related to a linear TV episode or engaged with that content,” and interactions, which are “original social media posts related to a linear TV episode and the engagement with that content.”
