Audible Celebrates Ten Years And Guess What’s Been Most Popular?

For 10 years, Audible has been revolutionizing the way we consume stories, transforming commutes, workouts, and daily routines into immersive audio experiences. As my favourite audiobook and podcast service celebrates its first decade globally, it’s worth reflecting on the journey and the impact it has had on listeners across worldwide.

This year, Audible listeners consumed over 4.6 billion hours of content globally in 2023 alone, making it clear how popular the audio listening genre really is. For me, it’s helped me get through my book club books, where half the room of our literary group listen rather than read the monthly titles.

Since its launch in 2014, Audible has quickly become a household name, capturing the hearts of listeners with its vast collection of audiobooks, podcasts, and exclusive Audible Originals. The platform’s catalogue has seen phenomenal growth, now boasting more than 800,000 titles. With an impressive year-on-year increase of over 20% in listening hours, it’s clear that audio storytelling is here to stay.

One of the most compelling aspects of Audible’s success is its commitment to local content and talent. Since 2019, Audible has produced 135 Australian Audible Originals, celebrating unique voices and stories that resonate with listeners. Notable titles like The Greatest Menace by Patrick Abboud and Simon Cunich, Nut Jobs by Marc Fennell, and Pillow Talk by Laura Nagy have garnered critical acclaim, earning 35 prestigious awards from 70 nominations. These stories not only entertain but also spark important conversations, showcasing the versatility and power of audio.

Ben Rolleston, Country Manager for Audible Australia, said: “It’s been incredible to witness the growth in demand for premium audio storytelling in Australia, as consumers increasingly look for ways to integrate entertainment and education into their daily lives. We’re proud to be the pioneer and innovator in this space and are passionate about continuing to explore what’s possible in audio entertainment.”

To celebrate a decade of captivating audio experiences, Audible’s editorial team has curated a list of the top 100 era-defining listens of the past ten years. This includes bestselling titles such as Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, The Barefoot Investor by Scott Pape, and It Burns by Marc Fennell.
