A typical post picks up 481 interactions against 386K followers, an engagement rate of 0.124%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 15K times each, and 3.29% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.78% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 30% carry an image or video and 30% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 24x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

9th Wonder's engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 81% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.124%, 9th Wonder sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.024% to 0.143%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,048 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 15:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video30% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 30% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 164 characters, which falls in the 80 - 180 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 80 to 180 characters run 3% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    Shouts to the young adults and the kids that didn’t grow up in the 80s and 90s, and still discovering music from that time. Take your time, there’s TONS to go through. This is all of the R&B, Hip-Hop, MTVs Rock, Reggae/Dancehall and House since 1980. It’s an abyss….

    It’s the fact that Stove God has married the stories of the street, and the hustle, back to soul. Back to that sound. It’s like Curtis Mayfield with SuperFly. But Hip-Hop, @Stovegodcooks

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 481 interactions against 386K followers, an engagement rate of 0.124%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 74% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 15K times each, and 3.29% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.78% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 30% carry an image or video and 30% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 12K interactions, about 24x its own typical post.

What is 9th Wonder's engagement rate on X?
9th Wonder (@9thwonder) has an engagement rate of 0.124%, based on the median interactions across 10 original posts from the last 30 days against 386,310 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.124%, 9th Wonder sits above the 25th percentile of the 205,048 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @9thwonder have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 74% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @9thwonder post?
Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.87 posts per day across the measured window.

Keep going
