Nielsen Social Ratings: October 2 – October 8

Another week, another Nielsen Social top 10!

And we’ve got a new winner, with WWE’s Pay-Per-View event Hell in a Cell taking the top spot, followed by WWE Monday Night RAW.

Meanwhile, This Is Us slipped to number four with 359, 000 interactions. Scandal‘s final season premiere came in at number three with 361,000 interactions. Empire came in at number five, down two spots from last week.

The Gal Gadot-hosted Saturday Night Live came in at number six, up one spot, garnering 341, 000 interactions.

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.”

Check out the full top 10 below.
