Spotify Wrapped was released, including Spotify Wrapped for Creators, which gives podcasters a year’s data for your own show. We learn 76 fans have the Podnews Daily as their #1 show (and Taylor Swift is your favourite artist). For shows hosted elsewhere, the data is only for consumption on Spotify.

Nina Yiamsamantha, Spotify’s Head of Creator Marketing, Podcasts, told Podnews: “Wrapped for Creators this year is bigger than ever and dedicated to creators and their fans. It’s a look at which episodes sparked the most engagement, where new fans discovered your show, what kept them coming back, and more. We hope you enjoy exploring the experience as much as we enjoyed building it!”

Spotify Wrapped included the Spotify top podcasts for 2025 in various countries. Notably, in the UK, Steven Bartlett has overtaken Joe Rogan for the first time; and Goalhanger’s “Rest Is” has four shows in the top ten.

Within the consumer Spotify Wrapped, “Your Top Podcasts” appears if you’ve consumed podcasts during the year, says a post about methodology. Podcasts in this list are ranked by total minutes listened. Interestingly, if you listen to a podcast at 2x, Spotify only counts the actual minutes you spend listening, not of the original content.
