YouTube has introduced its podcast popularity chart, awkwardly named 'Weekly Top Podcast Shows.' The initial chart ranks 100 podcasts from May 5-11, with 'The Joe Rogan Experience' leading the list. Although the chart's design is criticized for its poor aesthetics, particularly on desktop, it is optimized for mobile users. The chart presents a new perspective on podcast popularity, contrasting YouTube's play count data with Edison Research's survey-based rankings, inviting comparisons—all while maintaining its unique structure despite some design flaws.
YouTube has launched a podcast popularity chart named 'Weekly Top Podcast Shows,' featuring 100 ranked podcasts, with the first chart covering the period of May 5-11.
The chart showcases notable podcasts, starting with 'The Joe Rogan Experience' at #1 and 'Crime Weekly' at #100, illustrating the varying popularity across platforms.
While the YouTube ranking is based on play counts, Edison Research's Top 50 Podcast ranking is derived from survey data, highlighting differing methods in podcast popularity assessment.
The layout of the chart, intended for mobile viewing, has been criticized for its aesthetics but is functional enough for those willing to scroll through the rankings.
