Joe Rogan Had the Most Popular Podcast On Apple in 2025 (Exclusive)

Joe Rogan is now topping Apple’s podcast charts as well.

The longtime leader on Spotify ranks as the top show in the U.S. on Apple Podcasts, based on 2025 listenership, with his interview with Elon Musk also charting highly. He took over the spot from The Daily, which is now the second most popular podcast on Apple, and, in turn, saw their episode “Trump, Again” also rank highly.In 2024, Rogan was the third most popular show on Apple Podcasts.

The Mel Robbins Podcast climbed up the charts to become the third most popular podcast of the year, which also moved Crime Junkie, which has often held the first or second spot, down to fourth.

Among the new shows of 2025, Good Hang with Amy Poehler topped the charts, followed by Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce. Poehler’s appearance on SmartLess also ranked among the most listened to episode on Apple, as did Taylor Swift’s appearance on New Heights, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce, Kylie’s husband.

Those episodes were beaten out, however, by an episode from Telepathy Tapes, which explores the idea that non-speaking individuals with autism can communicate telepathically. The show also was the top series on Apple.
