@XXL - 4.9M followers on X
Measured over 147 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 22, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 339 interactions against 4.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 147 original posts, its engagement rate beats 49% of 1,003 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 78K times each, and 0.437% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.59% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 147 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 12% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 13K interactions, about 38x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
XXL Magazine's engagement rate beats 49% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 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 38% 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 0.007%, XXL Magazine sits above the 25th percentile of the 9,981 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.007% to 0.047%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Friday 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 | 93% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 12% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 93% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 12% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 308 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 13% above 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.

Blueface nearly gets knocked out in a wild street brawl. On Thursday (Aug. 20), a new video surfaced showing an intense squabble involving Blueface that reportedly happened on Sunday night (Aug. 16) following Blueface and Nevaeh's baby shower in Los Angeles. In the new footage, a fight breaks out involving Blueface and several men. One of the men tussling with Blueface socks the rapper with a clean shot, sending him falling backward into the street. The haymaker does not deter Blue, who gets back up and continues to get it on as more people jump in. This fight happened prior to Chrisean Rock catching the fade with a woman outside the same event, which was captured on video and has been making the rounds on social media. 🎥: solfendi2/Instagram

Gunna gives a look inside his refrigerator. The Atlanta rapper has been on a strict fitness journey for the past few years. On Tuesday (Aug. 11), Men's Health magazine shared a video of Wunna showing off the contents of the fridge in his Malibu, Calif., home. Gunna is definitely eating healthy, as his fridge is mostly full of fruits and vegetables, including Brussels sprouts, which he says are a favorite of his. Gunna appears to have an entire side of his fridge dedicated to recovery drinks and supplements. Last month, Wunna appeared on the cover of Men's Health magazine. He is currently working on the follow-up to 2025's The Last Wun. 🎥: Men's Health/YouTube

- What is XXL Magazine's engagement rate on X?
- XXL Magazine (@XXL) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 147 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,864,213 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.007%, XXL Magazine sits above the 25th percentile of the 9,981 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 @XXL have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 49% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 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 @XXL post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.67 posts per day across the measured window.
