- Each source carries a different weight -Apple and Spotify count the most, reflecting their larger listener base.
- The country score reflects how well a podcast ranks on each platform's chart for Canada specifically.
- A score of 100 means #1 on every platform. A score of 50 means solid rankings on most platforms.
The top podcasts in Canada, ranked
About 13 million Canadians listen to podcasts each month. The Canadian podcast chart has a lot of overlap with the US, since most top American shows chart well here too. But there's a layer of Canadian content underneath that doesn't get enough credit. This ranking uses Apple Podcasts Canada, Spotify Canada, and PodcastIndex data to surface the most popular podcasts in Canada right now.
CBC is a major force on the Canadian charts. Someone Knows Something, Uncover, and Front Burner are consistently among the best Canadian podcasts, and they hold their own against big American imports. True crime does well. News commentary does well. Hockey podcasts surge during the NHL season, which is about eight months of the year.
Canada's bilingual market is the thing that makes this chart unusual. French-language podcasts chart heavily in Quebec but barely register in the rest of the country. So when you look at the top 100 podcasts in Canada, you're seeing two separate listening cultures stacked on top of each other. Spotify and Apple Podcasts are roughly even in market share. If you need Canadian podcast recommendations, this monthly ranking is the place to look.
