Nielsen Social Ratings: October 25, 2017

Wednesday Nielsen Social Ratings are in!

Leading the night was The CW’s Riverdale, scoring 154,000 interactions from 56,000 unique social media accounts. Though the series fell in terms of interactions from last week, it managed to win the number one spot this week.

Queen Sugar‘s return earned the OWN drama 111,000 interactions and the number three spot. Veteran procedurals took the final two spots in the top five, tying with 50,000 interactions. Criminal Minds came in at number four while Law & Order: Special Victims Unit took the number five spot.

Wednesday shows that didn’t make the top 5 this week: Empire (World Series took the drama’s spot), Survivor, and Speechless.

As a Refresher: The Content Ratings use the total number of social interactions across Facebook and Twitter to rank the top 5 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 top 5 Uniques and Interactions below.
