Engagement
A typical post picks up 162 interactions against 847K followers, an engagement rate of 0.019%. Measured over 13 original posts, its engagement rate beats 45% of 15,519 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 13K times each, and 1.25% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.53% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 13 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video, 8% are part of a thread and 23% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.8K interactions, about 18x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #cmaawards, #9to5day, #dollydaynashville.

Compared with accounts its own size
CMA Country Music's engagement rate beats 45% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 56% 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 0.019%, CMA Country Music sits above the 10th percentile of the 156,396 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.022%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday 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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 23% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 100% 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.
- 23% 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 207 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

We will always love you, @DollyParton 🦋 https://t.co/sP88dyb3cc

We are heartbroken at the loss of Country icon, @DollyParton. Her impact around the world will be felt for generations to come. "At the end of the day, few artists define Country Music better than the one-word, Dolly. Over her decades-long career, I worked with her on a number of programs. She was always the most professional in every setting, often walking off the bus in heels and hair and makeup ready to go, before expected and before the cast and crew. However, along with the music, our biggest loss today is her work as a philanthropist and the genuine difference she has made in people’s lives throughout the world. There will only ever be one Dolly.” – Sarah Trahern, Country Music Association CEO

It's hard to imagine Country Music without Dolly Parton. Her unmistakable voice, unforgettable songs and larger than life spirit have left an indelible mark on the music we love. From “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene” to “Coat of Many Colors” and “9 to 5”, her music has given us songs to sing, stories to remember and moments we'll carry with us for years to come. Take a moment to remember Dolly through the music she gave us. Press play and listen to some of her most beloved hits. Click the link to listen now: https://t.co/95qPi0mJFi

- What is CMA Country Music's engagement rate on X?
- CMA Country Music (@CountryMusic) has an engagement rate of 0.019%, based on the median interactions across 13 original posts from the last 30 days against 847,102 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.019%, CMA Country Music sits above the 10th percentile of the 156,396 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 @CountryMusic have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 45% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 @CountryMusic post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1 posts per day across the measured window.
