Major milestone highlights RBmedia’s leadership in the global audiobook market
LANDOVER, MD, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — RBmedia, the largest audiobook publisher in the world, today announced that its catalog has surpassed 100,000 titles, the largest collection of premium audiobooks in the industry.
Founded in 1979 and widely recognized as the original audiobook publisher, RBmedia now offers titles across 13 audio brands—Recorded Books, Tantor Media, Dreamscape, HighBridge, Graphic Audio, Christian Audio, Ascent Audio, Kalorama Audio, W. F. Howes, Wavesound, BookaVivo, Éditions Thélème, and RBmedia Verlag. Its catalog features stories for listeners of all ages across all major genres and includes both traditionally narrated audiobooks as well as dramatized audio with full casts, cinematic music, and sound effects. The company releases audiobooks in English, Spanish, French, and German.
Across its catalog, RBmedia has published audio for hundreds of New York Times bestsellers, as well as Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winners, Academy Award winners, and a Grammy-nominee. RBmedia titles are also frequent picks for leading celebrity book clubs, including Oprah’s Book Club, Reese’s Book Club, TODAY, and Good Morning America. The company’s titles include some of the most notable and culturally significant audiobooks and franchises in publishing, such as The Lord of the Rings, Outlander, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Bridgerton, The Summer I Turned Pretty, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and the Fourth Wing series.
RBmedia publishes works from many of today’s bestselling authors, such as Rebecca Yarros, Sarah J. Maas, Jenny Han, C. J. Box, Pierce Brown, Christine Feehan, Danielle Steel, and Diana Gabaldon, as well as leading independent authors including Freida McFadden, Dakota Krout, Scarlett St. Clair, K. A. Tucker, and Chloe Walsh. RBmedia’s titles are performed by an equally distinguished roster of award-winning and celebrity narrators.
“Reaching 100,000 titles represents an extraordinary body of work, and we’re grateful to all who have worked alongside us over the years to create it,” said Troy Juliar, Chief Content Officer for RBmedia. “There is a story behind every one of these 100,000 audiobooks, but each one begins with an author or publishing partner placing their trust in RBmedia.
Over time, this catalog has become one of the most remarkable collections in publishing, reflecting the work of thousands of authors across every genre—from bestselling franchises to first-time authors in whom we were happy to invest.
The thousands of narrators who have added their voices to this catalog include many award-winning performers, on whose vocal cords the industry was built and new fans converted. These narrators continuously refined their art, and many became the most trusted partners of many authors.
We’ll continue to build on this legacy with great titles, innovative productions, and more ways to connect even more listeners everywhere with great books in audio.”
