People are loving The Voice. The NBC competition series’ season 30 premiere notched 7.8 million viewers in its first seven days of availability, according to Variety.

In its first three days of availability, meanwhile, the season 30 premiere was up 57 percent from last year. It is now the most-streamed episode of The Voice ever.

The episode was also a hit in terms of reach, as more than 19 million people viewed a portion of the episode on all platforms. On social media, meanwhile, it garnered 337 million video views in five days.
