This week, <strong>Stephanie Soo\u2019s<\/strong> true crime and horror storytelling show Rotten Mango surged to #1, with CBS\u2019 long-running 48 Hours rising one spot to #3.<\/p>\n<p>Law&amp;Crime Sidebar with Jesse Weber landed in the top five, the only podcast not ranked in the set last week to break through, moving up from #32. Part of the network created by Mediaite\u2019s own founder <strong>Dan Abrams<\/strong>, the daily news breakdown from host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=teAqj-QGPXQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Jesse Weber<\/strong><\/a> likely owes its ascent to heightened attention on the unfolding <strong>Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/strong> trial, which the show has covered intensively, including analysis of search warrants and federal raids.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a banner moment for the true crime genre, which now claims at least seven of the top 30 spots \u2013 double the number from last week. Nancy Grace\u2019s Crime Stories and <strong>Bailey Sarian\u2019s<\/strong> Murder, Mystery &amp; Makeup also saw notable gains.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s only week two but the traditional dominance of personality-driven talk \u2014 <strong>Joe Rogan<\/strong>, <strong>Tucker Carlson<\/strong>, <strong>Theo Von<\/strong> \u2014 is already being challenged to share space with genre-based binge-listening, particularly crime, mystery, and legal commentary.<\/p>\n<p>Legacy media also held firm. 60 Minutes stayed in the top 20. NewsNation\u2019s UFO deep dive show Reality Check with Ross Coulthart bumped up to #16, just one place behind <strong>Megyn Kelly<\/strong>, and NBC\u2019s Nightly News made the top 35.<\/p>\n<p>As YouTube continues to tout its dominance in podcast streaming, this week\u2019s rankings show a platform increasingly defined by genre loyalists, legal obsessives, and audiences chasing narrative over noise.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a full rundown of the top 100 podcasts from YouTube, May 12 \u2013 May 18, 2025:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rotten Mango<\/li>\n<li>The Joe Rogan Experience<\/li>\n<li>48 Hours<\/li>\n<li>Kill Tony<\/li>\n<li>Law&amp;Crime Sidebar with Jesse Weber<\/li>\n<li>Shawn Ryan Show<\/li>\n<li>The MeidasTouch Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Smosh Reads Reddit Stories<\/li>\n<li>This Past Weekend w\/ Theo Von<\/li>\n<li>The Diary Of A CEO<\/li>\n<li>H3 Podcast<\/li>\n<li>The Tucker Carlson Show<\/li>\n<li>Murder, Mystery &amp; Makeup<\/li>\n<li>Flagrant<\/li>\n<li>The Megyn Kelly Show<\/li>\n<li>Reality Check with Ross Coulthart<\/li>\n<li>The Pat McAfee Show<\/li>\n<li>Dr Insanity<\/li>\n<li>60 Minutes<\/li>\n<li>Crime Stories with Nancy Grace<\/li>\n<li>Club Shay Shay<\/li>\n<li>Timcast IRL<\/li>\n<li>Karen Read<\/li>\n<li>A Closer Look \u2013 Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/li>\n<li>Gil\u2019s Arena<\/li>\n<li>Bad Friends Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Creepcast<\/li>\n<li>The Benny Show<\/li>\n<li>PBD Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Lex Fridman Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Legal AF Podcast<\/li>\n<li>It Is What It Is<\/li>\n<li>Nightcap<\/li>\n<li>The Lets Read Podcast<\/li>\n<li>NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt<\/li>\n<li>The Yak<\/li>\n<li>The Philip DeFranco Show<\/li>\n<li>Just Trish<\/li>\n<li>The Bulwark Podcast with Tim Miller<\/li>\n<li>The Trish Regan Show<\/li>\n<li>Bulwark Takes<\/li>\n<li>Matt and Shane\u2019s Secret Podcast<\/li>\n<li>IHIP News<\/li>\n<li>Timcast News Stories<\/li>\n<li>True Crime with Kendall Rae<\/li>\n<li>Distractible<\/li>\n<li>Cancelled with Tana Mongeau &amp; Brooke Schofield<\/li>\n<li>Smosh Mouth<\/li>\n<li>Reallyfe Street Starz Podcast<\/li>\n<li>The 85 South Comedy Show<\/li>\n<li>Barry Cunningham Podcasts And Live Shows<\/li>\n<li>Unsubscribe Podcast<\/li>\n<li>StarTalk Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Julian Dorey Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Crime Fix with Angenette Levy<\/li>\n<li>Breaking Points<\/li>\n<li>Dark History<\/li>\n<li>The Joe Budden Podcast<\/li>\n<li>You Should Know Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Huberman Lab<\/li>\n<li>Next Question with Katie Couric<\/li>\n<li>No Spin News<\/li>\n<li>rSlash<\/li>\n<li>Reel Rejects<\/li>\n<li>Club 520 Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Cam Capone News<\/li>\n<li>#RolandMartinUnfiltered<\/li>\n<li>Stories from the Bible<\/li>\n<li>Javier Ceriani Show<\/li>\n<li>Power Hour<\/li>\n<li>Serialously with Annie Elise<\/li>\n<li>The Mel Robbins Podcast<\/li>\n<li>The Ben Shapiro Show<\/li>\n<li>Breaking News<\/li>\n<li>Two Hot Takes<\/li>\n<li>The Pivot Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Pardon My Take<\/li>\n<li>Democracy Now!<\/li>\n<li>The David Pakman Show<\/li>\n<li>Impaulsive Podcast<\/li>\n<li>On Purpose Podcast<\/li>\n<li>The Broski Report<\/li>\n<li>Authorized Account<\/li>\n<li>The Intersection with Popok<\/li>\n<li>ScreenCrush<\/li>\n<li>Extra Anormal Podcast<\/li>\n<li>MrBallen Crime<\/li>\n<li>Crime Weekly<\/li>\n<li>The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart<\/li>\n<li>The Matt Walsh Show<\/li>\n<li>Interviews with Brian Tyler Cohen<\/li>\n<li>Gusgri Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Your Mom\u2019s House w\/ Tom Segura &amp; Christina P<\/li>\n<li>Dan Wootton Outspoken<\/li>\n<li>The Bill Simmons Podcast<\/li>\n<li>Critical Role<\/li>\n<li>Million Dollaz Worth of Game<\/li>\n<li>Are You Garbage?
