Spotify rolls out Top Podcasts and Trending Podcast charts which are available in 26 countries on Spotify mobile (iOS and Android). The charts will not only share the fastest-climbing of-the-moment trends for podcasts with users, but will also list the overall most popular shows in your region based on recent listener numbers.
Certain markets, including Brazil, Australia, Germany, Mexico, Sweden, UK and the US will dig further into the podcast data and will separate out the Top Podcasts by category. So if you’re a lover of true crime or want more health and wellness content, you can see the top podcasts by genre. Top Podcasts charts will list the top 200 overall shows in the selected region or category, and Trending Podcasts charts will display the top 50 rapidly rising shows.
Spotify have also rolled out an updated experience for podcasters in Spotify for Podcasters. Creators will get a notification on their dashboard when their podcast is charting. They can then turn their notifications into a visual card to share across social media platforms, alerting fans to their podcast’s rising status.
The streamer has more than 1 million podcasts on its platform and the Top and Trending charts will help listeners categorize and discover their new favourites.
To find these charts go to the Browse All section of your Spotify app, hit Podcasts and then you’ll see the tile for Podcast Charts.
