Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Audible – ~550,000

Potential measles exposure in Bernalillo, Sandoval and Santa Fe counties - KOAT
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Literie – ~19,000
GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Simulations Show What Really Happens When a Black Hole Devours a Neutron Star - Gizmodo
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
