Tuesday’s episode of “The Voice,” the final round of blind auditions, fell in the ratings from last week but was still the top show in prime time, propelling NBC to a nightly victory in a key demographic.

“The Voice” averaged 13.1-million viewers, according to early numbers from Nielsen. Its rating among 18-to-49-year-olds, the demographic preferred by advertisers, fell 17% from last week to a 3.4. In the 18-to-49 category, a ratings point equals about 1.3-million people.

The new comedy “About a Boy” also fell week-to-week by 16% in a key demo to a 2.1 and drew an overall audience of 7.9 million. Fellow newcomer “Growing Up Fisher” was down slightly from its most recent episode and held onto most of its lead-in, earning a 1.8 in 18-to-49. After the comedy hour, “Chicago Fire” scored a 2.0 and 7.3-million viewers, improving on last week.
