News covers, and how yours sits among them

News is the genre where the cover is doing brand work rather than design work, and it shows.

Looked after by Sleeve, a record sleeve.

Put your cover in the News chart

This is Apple’s current top 100 for News in the United States, the largest of the ten stores on this site. Add your artwork once and it shows up in all four views: in a library row at 55 pixels, on the browse wall, at every size on its own, and against Apple’s file requirements. If you publish elsewhere, the other nine charts are linked below and each one is genuinely different.

Your image is read by your own browser and never sent anywhere. No account, no upload, no limit. Add it once and every view below uses it.

Other genres

What News covers actually do

A single flat colour, the masthead set plainly, sometimes a presenter photographed against it. The Daily is a blue gradient, Up First is white, Still Counting is pink, Morning Wire is a skyline. Where a face appears it is usually the anchor, framed the way a channel would frame them.

At 55 pixels

This genre gets small sizes right almost by accident. Flat colour plus a short name is the most legible thing you can put in a 55 pixel box, and News has the shortest average name length after True Crime.

Counted, in today’s chart

22 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 20.4. The longest is "Smart Money Happy Hour with Rachel Cruze and George Kamel", which is not a name that fits in a list row.

28 of them get by on two words or fewer. Those are the covers that can set their name large enough to read while scrolling.

iHeartPodcasts holds 9 of the 100 places. A publisher with that many shows in one chart is running a house style, so several of the covers you are placed against are variations of one another.

These numbers come from the same chart drawn above and change as it does.
