Below is a network analysis of the most popular topics on Clubhouse. This type of data can help predict trends on the app based on previous rooms and conversations. In addition, we analyzed all of the Clubhouse hot topics based on the conversations happening on other social media channels and within traditional media coverage.
Before we jump into the data, let’s first define Clubhouse.
What is Clubhouse?
Clubhouse started as a social audio app that enabled users to have audio conversations about the topics they were passionate about. It was designed to be a space for people to share their thoughts and feelings about politics, sports, gender diversity, and entrepreneurship. Today, it’s become more commercialized and a place where users can join rooms and listen to celebrities and athletes.
The data for the Clubhouse topics were collected in a few different ways. First, we pulled all the social media mentions of Clubhouse dating back to January 2020. From there, we clustered the mentions into popular topics based on the volume of each topic. From there, we tagged each one and classified them across various themes.
The data is sorted by total mentions, unique authors, and impressions. See below for the most popular topics on Clubhouse since 2020.
The social data below is a drill-down of the popular topics and themes on Clubhouse based on the number of unique authors mentioning each Clubhouse room or event, the total volume of mentions, and the corresponding impression count.
It’s great to see the diversity of topics across business and technology (AI, Digital Transformation, Bitcoin), black culture, women in technology and business, startups and venture capital, and healthcare topics like mental health.

The data below shows the traditional media publications writing about the most popular topics on Clubhouse. There are three data points to consider when looking at this Clubhouse data:
- The volume of coverage: Along the X-axis, you will see the total volume of articles published about Clubhouse topics from these media publications.
- Topical relevance: Along the Y-axis, you’ll see engagement data in social actions (Like, Comment, Share, Retweet).
- Reach of publication: The size of the bubble represents the reach of that media publication as measured by UVMs or unique visitors monthly.
For example, Business Insider, which is to the far right of the graph, writes a lot about Clubhouse trending topics. And when they do, it resonates exceptionally well with their audience. But, again, when a story resonates with an audience, the typical user behavior is to engage with that article in the form of a comment, share, retweet, etc.
Lastly, compared to the other media publications within this data set, Business Insider has the largest reach, as displayed by the size of its bubble. This does not represent the reach of articles covering Clubhouse. Instead, it is the reach of the entire publication as measured by monthly visitors to their website.
When exploring more on the media coverage trending on Clubhouse, we clustered the coverage into various sub-topics driving the conversation.
Everything from Elon Musk and his guest appearance on Clubhouse to Chinese censorship of the platform and everything in between. This type of data is critical for media measurement or at least research to plan for PR programs in the future.
