Spotify may have lost exclusivity rights for The Joe Rogan Experience this year, but that didn't stop the comedian's podcast from ascending to the No. 1 spot for the fourth year running on the streamer's annual "Wrapped" roundup. Variety notes that both Rogan's show and the runner-up, Alex Cooper's Call Me Daddy, delved into politics this election cycle: Rogan interviewed GOP nominee (and now president-elect) Donald Trump, while Cooper had a sit-down with Dem nominee Kamala Harris. Spotify had similarly lost exclusivity to Cooper's podcast in 2024. Variety adds that more than one-third of the podcasts on Spotify's list this year were video podcasts; just 1 out of 7 were the previous year. Here, the top 10 podcasts, per the streaming service:
- The Joe Rogan Experience
- Call Her Daddy
- This Past Weekend w/Theo Von
- Crime Junkie
- The Daily (New York Times)
- The Tucker Carlson Show
- Huberman Lab
- Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard
- Smosh Reads Reddit Stories
- The Shawn Ryan Show
