5 Seconds of Summer engagement report

Compared with accounts its own size

5 Seconds of Summer's engagement rate beats 75% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 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 86% 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.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 01:00 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.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 5.5K interactions against 11M followers, an engagement rate of 0.052%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 75% of 3,739 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 183K times each, and 2.98% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.74% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.37 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 01:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week.

At 0.052%, 5 Seconds of Summer sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,261 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.
