Music fueled the soul Sunday night as Fox’s iHeart Living Room Concert for America special and ABC’s American Idol tied as primetime’s top-rated show to lead the night. The iHeart Living Room Concert, a benefit to provide relief and support to help fight the spread of COVID-19, featured big musical acts including Mariah Carey, Elton John and Billie Eilish. The special earned a 1.3 in the adults 18-49 demographic and 4.57 million viewers. A two-hour American Idol (1.3, 7.27M) matched despite dipping a tenth from a week ago.

Other programming gains last night included ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos (1.1, 6.54M), which was up a tenth, while CBS saw the steady return of God Friended Me (0.6, 6.37M), which saw its best viewership since December. CBS’ Sunday included 60 Minutes (1.0, 10.22M) and NCIS: Los Angeles (0.7, 6.84M), which both slipped in the demo, while NCIS: New Orleans (0.7, 6.54) held steady.
