And as of day one, Amazon is at the top.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EmDC9H\">Amazon&#8217;s stable of shows dominates the new charts. <em>morbid<\/em>, <em>SmartLess<\/em>and <em>Something Was Wrong<\/em>, which release early for subscribers of Amazon-owned Wondery Plus, nab the top three spots among subscriber shows in the US.  The type of limited-time exclusivity arrangement, which is looser than the platform-exclusive arrangement that Spotify has with shows like <em>The Joe Rogan Experience<\/em> and <em>Call Her Daddy<\/em>appears to be working in driving subscriptions, even if it&#8217;s away from Amazon&#8217;s platforms. <\/p>\n<p id=\"ho1mTq\">Wondery Plus, meanwhile, is the top subscription channel overall in the US, Canada, and the UK.  In the US, the Sword and Scale +PLUS Light (elegant!), The Binge, Luminary, and Pushkin Plus take the next four spots.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"ylmkcY\"><q>The charts don&#8217;t directly show the top moneymakers<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"5o8oTX\">These new charts should give those paywalled shows and channels, which may not make it onto the main rankings, a little more visibility.  I personally love it because it lets me keep an eye on which shows people are willing to spend money on.<\/p>\n<p id=\"phmcnx\">Caveats abound, of course.  Like the main Apple Podcasts charts, these new ones use a unique and somewhat opaque definition of \u201ctop.\u201d  That&#8217;s to say: these are not a direct measure of which shows and channels have the most subscribers or are making the most money \u2014 though those elements are factored in.  Like Apple&#8217;s other podcast charts, these new charts base their rankings on a mix of listener engagement, follows, and completion rate.  They also weigh total subscribers and engagement with subscription content, Apple spokesperson Zach Kahn tells <em>Hot Pod<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"oNU0tC\">TL;DR: making a ton of money isn&#8217;t enough to hit the top of the list \u2014 people still have to be tuning in.  Though if you&#8217;re making all that cash\u2026 chances are you&#8217;ve got some big fans anyway.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"WQ2XGO\">\n<div class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box \" id=\"newsletter-signup-short-form\" data-newsletter-slug=\"podcasts\">\n<div class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box__main\">\n<p>      <span class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box__icon\"><br \/>\n        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 54.47 53.1\"><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#000000\" x1=\"1.77\" y1=\"49.98\" x2=\"27.93\" y2=\"23.82\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#000000\" x1=\"33.82\" y1=\"17.93\" x2=\"49.43\" y2=\"2.32\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#ff7f00\" x1=\"10.32\" y1=\"41.43\" x2=\"21.32\" y2=\"30.43\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#000000\" x1=\"2.42\" y1=\"21.87\" x2=\"22.31\" y2=\"1.76\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#000000\" x1=\"27.97\" y1=\"51.33\" x2=\"41.2\" y2=\"38.1\"\/><line fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" stroke-width=\"5px\" stroke=\"#ff7f00\" x1=\"46.47\" y1=\"32.83\" x2=\"52.7\" y2=\"26.6\"\/><\/svg><br \/>\n      <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box__title\">\n      <span class=\"sr-only\"><\/p>\n<p>        Sign up for the newsletter<\/p>\n<p>      <\/span><br \/>\n      Hot Pod<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p class=\"c-newsletter_signup_box__blurb\">Every Tuesday receive analysis, insights, and commentary on the growing audio industry.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Podcasts is introducing a pair of new top 100 charts today that track subscription podcasts and subscription podcast channels.
