Duchess’s new show climbs Spotify charts, fuelling talk of streaming comeback
Meghan Markle has received an uplifting career boost just hours before the release of the second episode of her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder—a success that may pave the way for a potential return to Spotify.
The Duchess of Sussex's debut episode has surged into Spotify’s global top 10 podcast chart, while also securing the No. 2 spot on the platform’s business podcast rankings. The episode featured Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd in a candid discussion about entrepreneurship and scaling successful ventures.
This early success has drawn renewed attention to Meghan’s media efforts, especially after her previous Spotify deal ended in 2023. Sources say she is thrilled by the positive reception.
Meghan announced her new podcast on Instagram on March 13, describing the series as a space for open conversations with women who have transformed dreams into thriving businesses. The aim, she noted, is to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs with real stories and practical insights.
Marking the milestone, she shared a heartfelt message following the release of the first episode on April 8: “So grateful for the love and support! Keep listening to Confessions of a Female Founder anywhere you get your podcasts.”
The podcast’s second episode is set to launch today, Tuesday, as Meghan continues her journey in the world of audio storytelling.
