Sports Podcast Covers in Germany: Top 100

Right now the top three are Stammplatz – Fußball News täglich, Reif ist live – Fußball Talk von BILD and FUSSBALL MML. Those three covers are the ones a German listener browsing Sports sees first, so they are the fairest thing to hold yours up against.

What is different about the German chart

Germany is the most independent chart in this set by a wide margin: an average of only 12 shows per hundred are shared with the US, and in one genre it was a single show. The public broadcasters carry it, with ZDF holding 11 of TV & Film, ARD 11 of Fiction and tagesschau 8 of News on 10 September. German show names are also the longest of any store here at 29 characters on average, which makes the small sizes harder than they are anywhere else.

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 Germany right now.

48 of these 100 shows have a name longer than 25 characters. The average is 29.7. The longest is "ENJOYYOURBIKE! Cycling-Lifestyle / Gravel- & Roadbike-Talk + Bike-Technik", which is not a name that fits in a list row.

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

BILD holds 4 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.

6 of these 100 also chart in the United States. The other 94 are local to this store, which is the part of the chart worth studying if you are publishing into it.
