America’s Got Talent returned for Season 15 on Tuesday, delivering a 1.4 in the adults 18-49 demographic and 9.81 million viewers for NBC. The reality competition dominated the night as it has in past summer runs, though it dipped in the demo compared with last year’s premiere.

From one talent show to another, NBC also debuted the fourth season of World of Dance (1.0, 5.15M), which was down from its Season 3 premiere. Still, the network swept the night handily in both ratings and the demo.
