The show,which brought in Harry Connick Jr and Jennifer Lopez to fill the seats left empty by Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Randy Jackson, earned its lowest ratings ever with only 15 million viewers, according to Entertainment Weekly. The show also earned a low number of viewers in the adults 18-49 demographic, earning 4.6 million, down 23 percent from last year.

The show did, however, manage to earn the highest ratings of the night, but the dismally low ratings for the premiere continue the overall downward trend that has been happening since 2006.
