We look to Spotify to meet this moment and are committed to continuing our work together as it does. “We have continued to express our concerns to Spotify to ensure changes to its platform are made to help address this public health crisis.
“Last April, our co-founders began expressing concerns to our partners at Spotify about the all too real consequences of COVID-19 misinformation on its platform. Hundreds of millions of people are affected by the serious harms of rampant mis – and disinformation every day,” the statement read. Spotify data has revealed that the Philippines has seen more than 60 growth in time spent listening to podcasts in the last 12 months, with local shows leading the charge. “Since the inception of Archewell, we have worked to address the real-time global misinformation crisis. Next week’s episode of “Archetypes” will feature an interview between Markle and Mariah Carey.Įarlier this year, Markle’s production company Archewell Audio, co-owned by Prince Harry, issued a statement of concern relating to the spread of misinformation on COVID-19 on Spotify through podcasts like Rogan’s.
Markle’s rise to the number one spot on the Spotify charts marks the end of Joe Rogan’s steady hold on the top spot, a position he’s consistently held since Spotify secured the exclusive rights to “The Joe Rogan Experience” in 2020. Markle’s podcast now holds the number one spot not only in the US, but also in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
