I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many consecutive years was American Idol the top rated show?
All the background I'm provided with is that "It holds the distinction of having the longest winning streak in the Nielsen annual television ratings; it became the highest-rated of all television programs in the United States overall for an unprecedented seven consecutive years, or eight consecutive (and total) years when either its performance or result show was ranked number one overall.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
