Ariana Madix hosts 'Love Island USA.' Ben Symons/Peacock Logo text The final week of Love Island USA‘s eighth season was the show’s biggest one on record — for the second time this season.
The Peacock hit recorded just under 2 billion minutes of viewing time (1.997 billion, to be precise) for the week of July 6-12, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings. That’s a little above its previous high of 1.97 billion minutes, set two weeks earlier. Love Island finished atop the overall chart for the fourth time in its six weeks of new episodes this season, during which it accumulated 10.73 billion viewing minutes — up about 23 percent vs. last season.
