The original version of American Idol ran for 15 years before being cancelled by FOX, and now it’s coming back — but to ABC instead. Meanwhile, NBC has The Voice, which continues to be a Nielsen ratings darling. Not one to suffer in silence, FOX has introduced The Four: Battle for Stardom TV show — yet another competitive reality TV series for singers. Does it have a large enough range to hit all the high notes, or will it fall flat? Will The Four: Battle for Stardom be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
Solo artist and Black Eyed Peas vocalist Fergie hosts The Four: Battle for Stardom, in which singers face off in hopes of winning a promotional deal with iHeartRadio. During the FOX competition, the contestants are advised by industry pros Sean Combs, DJ Khaled, Meghan Trainor, and Charlie Walk. In addition to the IHeartRadio promotion, the winner will also benefit by having Combs, Khaled, Trainor, and Walk join their team and guide them toward stardom.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like The Four: Battle for Stardom TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season on FOX?
2/8/18 update: FOX has renewed The Four for a second season. Details here.
I am looking 4wrd to season#3 & I think their should be 4 judges not #3 & it should b a judge 4 each type of music say….country, hip hop/rap, pop & rock~n~roll & then get some real judges 2 run the show for a 3rd season b4 u throw in the towel MY OPINION, JUST SAYIN’ & VOICING MY OPINION….I really liked this show a lot & I thoroughly enjoyed the first & 2nd season, change it up a lil’ more & c how it plays it all out…Seriously ppl think about it….
didn’t like the voting on the series finale. Poor judging because that person that was there from start to finish was robbed. Sharon
Will not be watching show again unfair judging!
I think Ali Caldwell should have won!! Wrong decision! She performed better!
Love love love
I hate the “eat” chant! It is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Makes me wonder about their intelligence. Plus, Kalid’s horn is annoying!
What a great show! The voice has provided us with 0 hitmakers in 15 seasons. American idol what 2 over 15 seasons, AGT 0 hitmakers as well. All three of those shows suck and the 4 comes with a real feel of the industry and the 4 will produce 2x more stars in half the time than the voice or AI…..
The judges have to be kidding that Zhavia didn’t win the finale that is a BIG jOKE ! HER SONGS AND HER VOICE IS ON POINT. FROM THAT VOTE IM DONE WATCHING. i guess diddy had a big hand in the vote.
They should have picked Zhavia. She had a fan base already and she was different. Her low singing tones were great. The judges may think they can transform a singer to a super star but it doesn’t mean anything if people don’t buy their music. Evvie was a good singer but there was nothing different or special about her voice. There are a lot of singers out there just like her. Zhavia has something special and I think the judges could have done a lot more with her. You don’t have to be a belter or screamer to be good… Read more »
The show sucks the people have no taste
Show should be cancelled. Very disappointed in its unfair process. The audience choices are not appreciated by the judges who you can tell have their own favorite and want to push her on the people. Why bother with the audience choices if you are going to make way for who you want to win.
