Top 10 Apple Podcasts — Top Shows (US) — September 7, 2026

True crime still rules American ears. Crime Junkie sits atop Apple Podcasts' most-listened chart for September 7, 2026, holding the #1 slot that audiochuck's flagship has occupied for stretches throughout 2026. The Daily from The New York Times holds steady at #2, a reminder that 20-minute news explainers remain a daily ritual for commuters and caffeine sippers alike. Lower on the chart, COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller from LUNASHARK crashes the top 10 at #7 — a dramatic jump for a newer series that signals how fast-breaking cases can hijack public curiosity overnight. Politics hasn't vanished either: Pod Save America claims #3, the highest-rated political show on the list. These rankings reflect plays, completions, and follows within Apple Podcasts' US storefront on September 7, 2026 — not editorial picks, but raw listener behavior. The list is a snapshot of where America tunes in when the day starts.

Trend Analysis

True crime is the gravitational center of this chart, claiming three of the top ten slots: Crime Junkie (#1), Morbid (#6), and COERCED (#7). News and current affairs form the second pillar, with The Daily (#2), Dateline NBC (#4), Up First from NPR (#10), and the politics-leaning Pod Save America (#3) — four entries that underscore how Americans use podcasts to keep pace with the day's events. The Joe Rogan Experience at #5 continues to anchor long-form interview listening, while The Rest Is History (#8) represents a transatlantic history hit finding traction in the US market. The most surprising entry is COERCED from LUNASHARK — a newer true-crime series breaking into the top ten on the strength of a single high-profile case. Mick Unplugged at #9 rounds out the list with motivational-business content, a category that rarely cracks mainstream charts. Together, the list paints a portrait of listeners craving narrative, context, and companionship. Expect the true-crime bloc to deepen as fall release schedules collide with the season's appetite for dark storytelling.
