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

True crime is back on top of American headphones as Labor Day weekend fades into September's work grind. Crime Junkie seized the No. 1 spot on Apple's most-listened chart for September 7, 2026, pushing The Daily down to second and proving that Ashley Flowers' fanbase still dictates podcast habits more than any newsroom. The week's other stunner is COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller at No. 7 — a serialized true-crime story that, weeks after its premiere, is still pulling new listeners at a pace that kept the chart's most entrenched shows honest. Pod Save America held the political middle at No. 3, while British import The Rest Is History cracked the U.S. top ten at No. 8, a reminder that Atlantic-spanning history podcasts now travel as easily as songs. Apple Podcasts ranks episodes by plays, listens, and follow-through inside its U.S. storefront, so the chart reflects both habitual bingers and curious clickers. That mix is what makes this daily top ten worth scanning: it shows what America pressed play on today, not just what launched last month.

Trend Analysis

True crime dominates five of the ten slots — Crime Junkie at No. 1, Morbid at No. 6, COERCED at No. 7, Dateline NBC at No. 4, and arguably The Joe Rogan Experience, which leans heavily on long-form true-crime and conspiracy interviews. That is half the chart devoted to the genre that refuses to die. News and current affairs claim another three: The Daily, Pod Save America, and Up First from NPR, all leaning on the September return to civic attention after a quiet August. The surprise is The Rest Is History at No. 8 — a British history podcast hosted by Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland, sitting comfortably above Up First. Its presence signals that history content with a conversational, debate-style format is crossing oceans, not just genres. Mick Unplugged at No. 9, a leadership and self-development show, hints at a quiet undercurrent of aspirational listening alongside the murder-and-politics mix. Together the chart paints an American audience that wants to be informed, unsettled, and occasionally inspired on the same commute. Expect true crime's grip to tighten again as autumn brings longer nights and new case drops.
