May 15, 2025 – [[read-time]] minute read
Chart your way to the top …of YouTube’s new Weekly Podcast Shows chart! Today, we’re announcing a US-based, weekly chart to showcase the most popular podcasts on YouTube.
On charts.youtube.com/podcasts, you can check out YouTube’s Top 100 podcast shows in the US to see where your favorite podcasts rank, or which podcasts you’re really missing out on!
Podcasts on YouTube have more than 1 billion monthly active viewers and according to Edison, YouTube is the most frequently used service for listening to podcasts in the U.S.
Our Weekly Top Podcast Shows chart recognizes and celebrates top podcasters who are redefining the next era of entertainment with engaging, influential, culture-defining shows across a variety of genres like News, Sports, Comedy, and True Crime.
Every Wednesday, the Weekly Top Podcast Shows chart is updated with podcast shows ranked by watchtime. Generally, charts will include playlists that are designated as “podcasts” by the creator in the upload process, and will not include playlists that contain only clips or Shorts.
Continue to keep an eye (and ear) out for more updates! We’re building out more features and expanding podcast charts to additional regions. And don’t forget that youtube.com/podcasts is home to even more podcasts to enjoy.
