The Joe Rogan Experience has long been the most listened-to podcast in the world through Spotify, where it arrived in 2020, although specific subscriber numbers were never shared. In February 2024, Rogan inked a new multiyear deal—estimated to be worth up to $250 million—with Spotify that saw the streamer drop the exclusive part of their contract, allowing his show to air on other platforms.

New podcast charts unveiled by Spotify this week show that Rogan’s hugely popular show has dropped to second place, behind relative newcomer The Tucker Carlson Show. The conservative commentator debuted his show on his Tucker Carlson Network in December, several months after his April 2023 firing from Fox News.

Rounding out the top five are Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy, followed by Cancelled with Tana Mongeau and Brooke Schofield, and the Dan Bongino Show.

Per the Daily Caller:

The Tucker Carlson Show leapt into the top spot on Spotify’s USA podcast charts, passing the massively popular Joe Rogan Experience on Thursday.

The podcast, which Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson started in December after Fox News dismissed him last April, gained the top spot Thursday after trailing Rogan the previous day.

The podcast has been wildly successful, garnering tens of millions of views on YouTube alone since its inception.

The most recent episode with Dr. Ben Carson earned over 160,000 views in the first four hours after its release.
