What are the most popular podcasts on Spotify?

Spotify’s most-streamed shows consistently include The Joe Rogan Experience, Call Her Daddy, and Huberman Lab.

How do Spotify podcast charts work?

Spotify rankings are based on “momentum,” which combines recent unique listener counts with audience growth rates. The algorithm prioritizes shows that are currently trending rather than just those with the highest total play counts.

Which podcasts are the most popular in the world overall?

Globally, news and true crime giants like The Daily and Crime Junkie share the top spots with massive talk shows. Overall popularity is measured by aggregating data across all major platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

What does “Top Podcasts” mean, is this based on plays, followers, or something else?

The “Top Podcasts” chart is determined by a mix of total follower counts and recent unique listener activity. This ensures the list highlights both established hits and emerging shows with significant viral traction.

How often is this chart updated?

This chart is updated every 24 hours to reflect the most recent listening trends and audience shifts on Spotify. Daily updates ensure you are always viewing the most current data for the US and global markets.

Why is a podcast I know is popular not on this list?

A show might be missing if it lacks recent growth “momentum” or if the current chart is filtered for a specific region. Even famous shows can drop off the charts if they aren’t generating a high volume of new, unique listeners today.

Can I track where my own podcast ranks over time?

Yes, you can use Ausha’s free tracking tools to monitor your podcast’s ranking history across various categories and countries. You can even set up daily email alerts to get notified whenever your show moves up in the rankings.
