There was little change at the top of the Podcast Ranker for July 2023.
Triton Digital released the new Podcast Ranker today which saw Hamish & Andy maintain top spot, trailed by Casefile True Crime at #2 and Mamamia Out Loud at #2.
Four of the top five podcasts boated more than 2m downloads each for the month.
The only new entry in the Top 10 was Smartless the podcast featuring Hollywood actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. The podcast comes from the Wondery studio, repped in Australia by LiSTNR.
The equal biggest mover in the top 40 was Darling, Shine!, the podcast created and hosted by best friends Chloe Fisher and Ellidy Pullin that is published by LiSTNR. It moved up eight places to #29.
LiSTNR’s The Scorecard was also a big mover, also up eight places, to #30.
The highest new entry on the ranker this month was The Streaming Service with Justin Hill from LiSTNR. The series crashed into the chart at #85.
Podcast Ranker: LiSTNR performance
Commented on the results, LiSTNR noted it has retained its no.1 position in July as Australia’s largest podcast sales representation network with more than 7.6 million listeners.
LiSTNR had 21 podcasts in the top 50 on the ranker, more than any other podcast network.
7am with Schwartz Media once again was the no. 1 news podcast in the Top 150 Australian Podcast Ranker.
On the All Australian Podcast Ranker LiSTNR saw growth across its major titles in key genres.
New podcasts Crime Insiders and Luke and Sassy Scott made their debut in the All Australian Top 150 podcasts.
“It’s great to see so many Australian-created podcast titles finding new audiences across LiSTNR’s podcast verticals of Entertainment and Culture, Sport, News, Factual and Drama, Parenting and Kids Entertainment and Radio podcasts,” SCA executive head LiSTNR Podcasts, Grant Tothill, said.
“Our international and domestic partner titles also continue to perform well and as a podcast network LiSTNR offer advertisers new opportunities to reach Australians that are making podcasting a part of their daily audio consumption.”
iHeartPodcast performance
ARN’s iHeartPodcast Network Australia noted it is the #1 publisher for the 39th consecutive time with over 20 million downloads; an achievement that places iHeart with almost 10 million more monthly downloads than any other publisher and over 700k more monthly listeners.
ARN’s iHeartPodcast Network Australia claimed more podcasts in the Top 10 than anyone else with Audioboom’s Casefile the most downloaded podcast in the top 5 with 2.3M (#1 crime podcast and #2 overall), The Imperfects (pictured) increased its audience by 19% month on month and is now the #4 podcast overall (#1 Health & Wellness).
The Kyle & Jackie O Show held strong with over 2.2m downloads across the month of July, taking out the #5 spot on the ranker (#1 catch up), Life Uncut with Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne came in at #9 overall (#1 Relationship), and Stuff You Should Know sits at #10 as the most downloaded podcast for the month (#1 Knowledge).
ARN’s head of digital audio, Corey Layton, said: “The Imperfects continues to provide Australians with something uniquely different, beating its past record by engaging over 575 thousand listeners per month. With 1 in 5 Australian adults experiencing mental ill-health throughout the year, its proof that podcasts like these provide so much more.”
