From Radio Business Report and Nielsen:

With “American Idol” in high gear, it’s pretty much a given that Fox is going to win the Nielsen ratings in the 18-49 demo, where Idol claimed the top three spots for the week. But CBS won in Households, although Tuesday’s Idol was still the #1 show.

Here are the week’s top 20 shows.
