A typical post picks up 485 interactions against 3.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 30 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 19,932 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 29K times each, and 1.66% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.913% 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 almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 30 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 27% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 9.3K interactions, about 19x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Pink Floyd's engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (19,932 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 62% 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 0.015%, Pink Floyd sits above the 10th percentile of the 201,555 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 201,555 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,929 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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: 10:00 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

  • 93% 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.
  • 27% 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 289 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% 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.

    Many happy returns to Roger Waters, who celebrates his 83rd birthday today. One of the founding members of Pink Floyd, he left in late 1985 to pursue a successful solo career, including some spectacular live presentations such as the more than 200 date The Wall Live. Happy birthday, Roger!

    It's an incredible 39 years since A Momentary Lapse of Reason was released in the UK. In these days of AI, it would be simple to create a cover image like that seen on AMLOR, but even if tools like that had been around and in common use in those days, Storm Thorgerson would never have used them! This video, originally put together for the release of The Later Years box set, shows the set-up for the pictures shot by Robert Dowling...

    56 years ago today, Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother was released in the UK, becoming the band's first number one album. The album's cover was famously hated by EMI, seemingly having nothing to do with the band or the music within, but the picture of Lulubelle III - taken nears Potters Bar. Storm Thorgerson said of the image: "I think the cow represents, in terms of the Pink Floyd, part of their humour, which I think is often underestimated or just unwritten about."

    Fifty-one years ago today, Pink Floyd released Wish You Were Here. The cover being wrapped in black plastic resulted in a compromise for retailers, when the round, handshake sticker was added. The handshake itself represents the empty gesture of the greeting, particularly in business settings, and the four quarters behind represent the four classical elements — earth, air, fire, and water. These are expanded on in the interior artwork...

    Today in 1967, Pink Floyd's debut album, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn was released (with a US, eponymously named edition coming in October that year, with a revised track list). The front cover was photographed by Vic Singh, and the rear was a drawing by Syd Barrett of a picture taken by Colin Prime in London's Ruskin Park a month earlier.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 485 interactions against 3.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 30 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 19,932 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 29K times each, and 1.66% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.913% 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 almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 30 posts sampled, 93% carry an image or video and 27% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 9.3K interactions, about 19x its own typical post.

What is Pink Floyd's engagement rate on X?
Pink Floyd (@pinkfloyd) has an engagement rate of 0.015%, based on the median interactions across 30 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,205,579 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.015%, Pink Floyd sits above the 10th percentile of the 201,555 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 @pinkfloyd have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (19,932 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 @pinkfloyd post?
Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.03 posts per day across the measured window.
