Justin Bieber’s Wild Ride, a half-hour special about the pop star’s recent arrest, was the highest-rated show across CNN’s prime time lineup Friday night in both the 25-54 demo and total viewers. The 10pm special, which was previously promoted as “Bieber’s Troubles,” drew 205K viewers in the demo and 515K total viewers, outpacing Anderson Cooper 360 at 8pm and Piers Morgan Live at 9pm.

Still, CNN’s Bieber special trailed Fox’s Hannity in both the demo and total viewers. Sean Hannity’s show was #1 at 10pm with 271K in the demo and 1.221M total viewers.
