Australian chart

News podcast covers in Australia

News covers are a flat colour field with a network wordmark or a presenter's head. Below is Apple’s current top 100 for News in Australia, in chart order, with somewhere to put your own cover and see how it holds up beside them.

Looked after by Sleeve, a record sleeve.

Right now the top three are The Daily, Full Story and The Karl Stefanovic Show. Those three covers are the ones an Australian listener browsing News sees first, so they are the fairest thing to hold yours up against.

Your cover in the Australian News chart

Add a JPEG or PNG and move it up or down the ranking. The library row draws it at 55 pixels, which is where somebody meets it first, and the same artwork carries across to the browse wall, the size ladder and the file requirements without being added again. The image never leaves your browser: there is no upload, no account and no limit.

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.

What is different about the Australian chart

Roughly 43 shows in each hundred also chart in the US, so this store sits between the borrowed charts and the independent ones. ABC Australia is the strongest local presence by some distance: 9 of the top 100 in News, 9 in Society & Culture and 9 in Kids & Family when counted on 10 September. Australian show names are also among the shortest here, averaging 23 characters, which is genuinely helpful at thumbnail size.

Counted, in this hundred

Off the same chart drawn above, which is in Apple’s order: number one is the cover doing the most work in Australia right now.

17 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 18.5. The longest is "Global Roaming with Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald", which is not a name that fits in a list row.

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

ABC Australia 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.

34 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 66 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
