‘The Masked Singer’ Tops Wednesday Demo & ‘Chicago’ Trio Sweeps Viewership; ‘Batwoman’ Audience Down From Season 2 Opener

Wednesday night belonged to mysterious musicians and first responders as The Masked Singer topped the evening’s demo ratings and Chicago Fire walked away with the most viewers.

After tying for second last week with Chicago Med, The Masked Singer returned as Wednesday’s highest-rated program drawing in a 0.9 in the 18-49 demographic and 4.31 million viewers, up in both counts from the previous installment. Yesterday’s installment revealed Ruth Pointer of the Pointer Sisters to be underneath the Cupcake, making The Masked Singer‘s ratings-topping episode even sweeter.
