Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
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:
Risk Of Dengue Fever Is Just Another Reason Cruises Suck - Jalopnik
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Mariska Hargitay will reveal past secrets, new family at 'My Mom Jayne' premiere - USA Today
Literie – ~19,000
Audible – ~550,000
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Witness testifies about Sean Combs’ ‘hotel nights’: ‘I was repulsed’ - NPR
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
