Joe Rogan is now dominating on all podcast platforms.
The Joe Rogan Experience was Spotify’s top global podcast for the sixth year in a row. But he also topped Apple and YouTube’s lists this year, marking all-around domination for the first time. This came as the popular, controversial podcaster, known for his long-form conversations, had some breakout episodes this past year, including his interview with Elon Musk as well as figures such as Mel Gibson and Bernie Sanders.
The Mel Robbins Podcast has also been rising up in the ranks, coming in third on the global and the U.S. podcast list, behind The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett. The Mel Robbins Podcast had the same placement on Apple’s list this year.
