Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 2 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 406 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.041%. Posts are seen about 22K times each, and 1.89% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.14% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 20% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 2 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 25K interactions, about 62x its own typical post. Only 2 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

28 years ago this morning, I was in the Scottsdale hospital with Pam, and we were getting ready to welcome Electra Nicole into the world. Imagine the incredible joy I got to experience when the doctor asked if I wanted to deliver Electra. Of course I said yes, and they gave me some sanitized clothes and gloves and I got ready! The best and most successful productions I’ve ever done in my career have been becoming a father to Electra Nicole, and her incredible big brother, Justis David. Happy birthday, Electra. I love you, Dad.

When I was 13, I watched Bruce Lee’s The Way of the Dragon, and instantly became a fan of Chuck Norris. Today, I send my condolences to the Norris family. I know he will be missed by millions of fans and friends. I know I certainly will. Dave Mustaine https://t.co/pVbwBzP1Yw

To the best fans in the world: 2025 was a year of creation, forging the next Megadeth record—and through it all, you were the soundtrack. Thank you for filling the arenas and banging your heads with us. In 2026, the next chapter begins as we embark on our farewell tour. Wait until you see what we have in store for you! Until then, celebrate the turning of the year. Happy New Year… I’ll see you soon. 📷 @RossHalfin

Panic show, circa 1980, and clearly a Jimmy Page fan! Note: I was playing wireless back then on a NADY system. https://t.co/nTXyxjynSj

My new book, "In My Darkest Hour", releases on September 8th. One of most harrowing experiences of my adult life has been my seven-year journey through cancer treatment and onward into remission. This story is considerably more than just go to the doctor, get diagnosed, get treatment and hopefully I live happily ever after. This was a journey of me saving myself, staying alive, keeping my family together, and continuing to make music through it all.
