New Stars Hit YouTube’s Top 100 Rankings
Willa Pope RobbinsJul 2nd, 2025, 4:11 pm The brand new ranking of YouTube’s Top 100 Podcasts featured seven new titles which appeared on the chart for the first time since its initial release in May — while the top of the list has largely remained status quo, with a few notable exceptions. All the usual suspects are back in the top five. Joe Rogan remained the king, hanging on to the No. 1 spot, with The MeidasTouch Podcast sticking in second. Kill Tony and Rotten Mango finished third and fourth — flip-flopping spots from last week. And 48 Hours rounded out the Top 5 — as Tucker Carlson, who occupied that position last week after a run of bombshell interviews, is down to No. 10. Now for the new faces. Entering the charts with a bang at #26 was Black Conservative Perspective, a pod hosted by political commentator Greg Foreman. Legal and crime analysis shows maintained a strong presence, with Rotten Mango and Law&Crime’s Sidebar with Jesse Weber making the top 10. NewsNation anchor Ashleigh Banfield hit the ranking at #41 with her true crime show Drop Dead Serious. Fox News host Will Cain made his first appearance in the top spots with Will Cain Country coming in at #56. Some other first timers include the reaction and review pod CinePals (#68), professional wrestler Cody Rhodes’ show What Do You Wanna Talk About? (#89), and reality TV star Nick Viall’s podcast The Viall Files (#70). Both Megyn Kelly and Roland Martin are back on the charts after their unusual absences last week (sitting at #17 and #74 respectively), and so are Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova, whose pod The Bald and the Beautiful is a mainstay of the rankings that didn’t quite make the cut in the last round.
