[via press release from NBC]

Correction: Note the correct week-to-week increase for "New Normal" is 100 percent in 18-49 (1.4 vs. 0.7).

Tuesday Results:

* From 8-9 p.m. ET, "The Voice" (3.9/12 in 18-49, 12.0 million viewers overall) delivered the #1 rating of the night on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, topping the #2 telecast, CBS's "NCIS" head to head by 26 percent (3.9 vs. 3.1).

* Last night's 3.9 for "The Voice" beats every Tuesday telecast on every Big 4 net since January 15 ("NCIS," 3.9).

* The Tuesday "Voice" debut is up 22 percent versus the year-ago initial Tuesday telecast (with a 3.9 rating vs. a 3.2 from 9-10 p.m. on April 3), which ran one week later than this year's Tuesday debut. In total viewers, the Tuesday premiere of "The Voice" is up 42 percent (12.017 million vs. 8.450 million).

* Versus the first Tuesday telecast last fall, which did not face original competition on ABC or CBS, this Tuesday debut of "The Voice" is running within a tenth of a point in 18-49 (3.9 vs. 4.0) and is up 6 percent in total viewers (12.017 million vs. 11.418 million). This is NBC's best non-sports 18-49 rating in the time period since November 13, 2012. "The Voice" is up 95 percent versus NBC's average in the time period last season in 18-49 rating (3.9 vs. 2.0) and 96 percent in total viewers (12.017 million vs. 6.116 million).

* "Go On" is currently running within 0.1 of a point of #2 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in its competitive time period in 18-49 and is within 0.5 of #1.

* At 9:30 p.m. ET, "The New Normal" (1.4/4 in 18-49, 3.6 million in total viewers) is up week to week by 100 percent in 18-49 rating (to a 1.4 from a 0.7) and up 70 percent in total viewers (3.584 million vs. 2.114 million). It's the highest-rated "New Normal" in 18-49 since January 15 and biggest overall audience for the show since December 4.

It's the top "Smash" in 18-49 since the season premiere did a 1.2 on February 5 and best in total viewers since February 19.
