BARC Ratings Week 51: We Finally See A New Leader On The TRP Chart
After staying put on rank 1 for weeks, Naagin 2 has finally been pulled down to number 2 position by Sony’s dance reality show, Super Dancer in the urban ratings. It was such a relief to see a new name on the number one spot. I want to thank Super Dancer for giving me the opportunity of writing a new name as the TRP leader for this week. sheds a tear of gratitude
However, in the cumulative rankings, Naagin 2 continues to be at number 1 while Super Dancer stands at number 2. The surprise entry for week 51 was Sony SAB’s Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah which came in at rank 5 in urban ranking.
Star Plus still dominates the charts while Colors is trying to regain its lost position. Weekend reality shows, Super Dancer and The Kapil Sharma Show have given Sony TV a push in channel rankings as it has risen to rank 3 while Zee TV declined to number 4 on the rating’s chart.
