The Top Spotify Podcasts of 2025: What Dominated the Charts

This Spotify Wrapped list of 2025’s top global podcasts shows just how diverse listener tastes have become. From heavy-hitting interviews to deep science and pop culture commentary, the lineup reflects a mix of insight, entertainment, and personality-driven storytelling. Dominating the number one spot once again is Joe Rogan, but a mix of new power players are reshaping how audio influence works today.
What’s Standing Out
- Personality still reigns supreme—each top show is anchored by a strong, authentic host.
- Audiences crave meaning as much as entertainment—shows like 'Huberman Lab' and 'On Purpose' balance education with empathy.
- The rise of business and mindset podcasts proves listeners aren’t just passing time; they’re investing in self-growth.

'The Diary of a CEO' by Steven Bartlett cements its place by blending vulnerability with business insight.
