Top Podcasts in the U.S. for the Week of Nov. 9, 2026: Spotify’s Live Top 10
Top Podcasts in the U.S. for the Week of Nov. 9, 2026: Spotify’s Live Top 10
Information checked: Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, approximately 6:04 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00) / 11:04 UTC.
The Spotify U.S. Top Podcasts chart opened the week of Nov. 9 with The Joe Rogan Experience at No. 1, followed by The Daily and This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von. The live page also showed movement arrows: upward markers beside the first five entries and a downward marker beside No. 6, Good Hang with Amy Poehler. Spotify does not show a numeric place-change beside these markers in the public list.
This is a dated snapshot from Monday morning, not a final ranking for the full Nov. 9–15 period. Spotify says its Top Podcasts chart is based on weekly unique audience and updates daily, so positions can change as the week advances. The chart page does not show a separate weekly issue date or an archive comparing this Monday with last Monday; this article reports only the rankings and direction signals visible at the time checked.

The Joe Rogan Experience leads Spotify’s U.S. Top Podcasts list, with The Daily at No. 2 and Theo Von at No. 3.

The ranking is a Nov. 9 chart snapshot based on weekly unique listeners on Spotify, not a cross-platform or completed-week audience survey.

The top 10 mixes long-form host conversations, news briefings, true crime and interview-led shows. News titles appear at Nos. 2 and 7, while Crime Junkie holds a place in the first four. That is a description of this chart’s visible lineup, not a claim that Spotify’s ranking is divided by genre. Spotify maintains separate category charts, and its main Top Podcasts list ranks shows by audience rather than assigning points for topic variety.
What changed in Spotify’s latest chart update?
The strongest change signal near the top is the contrast between the first five listings and Good Hang: the first five rows show upward markers, while the No. 6 row shows a downward marker. The public chart gives direction but not a numerical change for these entries, so it is not possible to say from the chart alone whether a show moved one place or several.
This is movement since Spotify’s prior displayed chart update, not a verified comparison of the week beginning Nov. 9 against the week beginning Nov. 2. Spotify’s public chart currently presents the latest list rather than a dated weekly history. For that reason, this report does not label any podcast a weekly debut or claim that a show entered or left the top 10 since last week. The change that can be verified is narrower: several leading shows are marked upward in the live snapshot, and Good Hang with Amy Poehler is marked downward.
The next daily refresh could alter both the order and the arrows. If Good Hang continues to carry a downward signal in later updates, it could put pressure on its current top-10 position; if the arrow reverses, this morning’s signal would look temporary. That is conditional, not a prediction of audience totals. Spotify does not publish the listener counts or the gap between adjacent ranks on this chart.
How does Spotify calculate its Top Podcasts chart?
Spotify says its Top Podcasts chart lists the top 200 podcasts in each eligible country based on weekly unique audience. It updates daily and reflects listening behavior and engagement on Spotify. The measure is platform-specific: it does not combine Apple Podcasts, YouTube, radio, downloads from other apps or total podcast audiences across the U.S.
Spotify’s chart page is a live view and does not carry a fixed publication stamp. The publication date for this article’s chart reading is therefore the retrieval date above: Monday, Nov. 9, 2026. The week label means the week beginning Nov. 9; it should not be read as a completed seven-day table. The visible chart may move again before the week ends.
Other official charts answer different questions. YouTube’s Weekly Top Podcast Shows chart ranks podcast playlists by total watch time in a market and excludes clips and Shorts; YouTube says that chart updates on Wednesdays. Since this check is on Monday at the start of the Nov. 9 period, a final YouTube ranking for that new week is not yet available. Using a Spotify snapshot here avoids carrying forward a YouTube chart for an older week, but it also means the two services’ ranks should not be treated as interchangeable.
What should listeners take from this week’s snapshot?
For a quick starting point, the chart gives three distinct options at the top: a long-form interview show at No. 1, a daily news program at No. 2 and a comedian-led conversation at No. 3. Listeners looking for reporting can also compare The Daily with NPR’s Up First at No. 7; true-crime listeners will find Crime Junkie at No. 4. These are entry points into the list, not quality scores or endorsements.
For anyone tracking the weekly race, check the live chart again later in the week and compare the same source and market. A Spotify rank should be compared with another Spotify U.S. snapshot; an Apple or YouTube ranking uses a separate platform and, in YouTube’s case, a different primary metric. Until a dated Nov. 2 archive or an official week-close report is available, exact week-over-week changes remain unverified.
