The Joe Rogan Experience, which was bought by Spotify in an exclusive deal thought to be worth millions, is the platform’s most popular podcast, while the feminist-led show Call Her Daddy and the true-crime inspired Crime Junkie are second and third.

Spotify also says that Dua Lipa is the UK’s most popular music export on the platform, with artist being the most streamed Briton globally.

She’s followed by Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, One Direction and Queen.

The streamer’s data dump is to celebrate its latest iteration of Spotify Wrapped – a tool which shows users what they have listened to throughout the year, which launches today.

Millions of users share their results across social media, with this year including TikTok connectivity.

Users that have been identified as “top fans” of certain artists or podcast hosts will also receive video messages in the app, thanking them for support.
