"American Idol" is pushing the reset button on their judging panel.

New judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban won't be back next season if Fox has their way, and even original judge Randy Jackson's head is on the chopping block, according to The Wrap.

"All four are gone," a show insider said. "They feel they've lost their core audience and they want it back."

Viewership for Fox's genre-defining singing competition show have been in steady decline and the show's ratings are already down 22 percent this season with the show hitting a record low last week when it attracted just 11 million viewers. At it's peak in 2007, the show was pulling in 30 million viewers a week.

The first of the four judges to go will definitely be Mariah Carey, who is making a reported $18M for the current season of "Idol," according to E! Online.

The fate of the other three judges is less certain as Fox will only make decisions based on who they can get to replace them.
