The week of May 23-29 brought the end of the 2015-16 TV season and the start of the summer on the broadcast networks — and thus a lower threshold to make the Top 25.
The finale of “The Voice” (2.2 rating) led the adults 18-49 chart for the week, well off the 4.1 for “Empire’s” finale that topped the rankings the previous week. The final performance episode of “Dancing With the Stars” led in viewers with 12.34 million.
