Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Nobel laureate concerned about AI-generated image of black hole at the center of our galaxy - Space
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Woman banned for life from cruise after 'breaking rule' she shared on social media - LADbible
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
Literie – ~19,000
The mystery rise of lung cancer in non-smokers - BBC
Audible – ~550,000
