Yeah, But Is It Popular?

Some stats regarding "High School Musical 2":
Told you this would be big. That peppy little monster, "High School Musical 2," exploded in the ratings last week and became the most-watched show on cable ever.

There you go, a major record and no steroids involved. The sequel to Disney Channel's über- popular "High School Musical" drew 17.2 million viewers and showed just what can happen when there's a beat you can dance to.

"HSM2," which is what you call it, by the way, was also the most-watched show on all television all summer, going all the way back to the final week of the TV season in May. And there's more.

It was the most-watched TV show in history by kids ages 6 to 11 -- an important demographic if you sell toys or breakfast cereal -- and it was the most-watched entertainment TV show in history for 'tweens, ages 9 to 14. The only TV event ever to draw more 'tweens was the 2004 Super Bowl.
