Out of all the royal highlights which marked the Decembers of 2022, was the Sussexes’ major victory in almost all of their global projects. Although all of their works found themselves on the receiving end of trenchant criticism, Meghan Markle and her Spotify Podcast win thrashed it all with style. Nonetheless, not only the royal spectators but also gave cold shoulders to some previous giants in the industry. 

While it left behind well-known podcasts by Hollywood stars like Jason Bateman’s Smartless, what made major news was its triumph over another well-known established podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Long before claiming the Best Podcast of The Year title for itself, Meghan Markle’s Archetypes had already outpaced the U.S. frontrunner way back in August. 

As reported by Deadline, back in the day revealed how the royal episodes spiked US charts overtaking the two critically acclaimed podcasts and making it to the top. While it pushed a leading giant, The Official Game of Thrones Podcast to the third spot, The Joe Rogan Experience fell down to second with Archetype as the number one most listened-to show. 

Not only in the US but owing to its connection with the United Kingdom for apparent reasons, Archetypes also breached the UK headlines. In addition to that, the Duchess’s mind-provoking anti-stereotypical discussions were also heard far away in Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand as well. 

How did Archetypes by Meghan Markle reach the heights? 

What gained major highlights was the presence of world-renowned personalities exploring sensitive topics with the Duchess. Markle’s podcast gathered a tremendous audience as it boldly aimed at voicing fundamental and basic rights for women. Ever since the first session to the very last, Markle aimed at breaking the stereotypes of women in modern society to make this world a better place to live in. While Meghan Markle brought Canada’s First Lady on sets, she also welcomed top celebrities like Trevor Noah, Paris Hilton, and global athlete Serena Williams on the inaugural episode. 

Archetypes also bagged the People’s Choice Award for the Best Podcast of the Year due to its successful milestones. Nevertheless, despite all its fame and glory, angry spectators did not hold back from dishing the podcast. Rumors also had it that all the sessions by Markle were scripted.
