A typical post picks up 696 interactions against 2.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.029%. Measured over 8 original posts, its engagement rate beats 64% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Posting runs at about 0.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 23% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 8 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video and 13% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 32K interactions, about 46x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #equipegil, #saiajusta, #temporei.

Compared with accounts its own size
Gilberto Gil's engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 87% 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.

At 0.029%, Gilberto Gil sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

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

Receber esse reconhecimento da Academia do Latin Grammy por toda minha carreira e pela minha história é sentir um furacão atravessando minha alma, trazendo memórias que nem eu lembrava mais. Passei a vida lutando para manter minha arte a mais baiana e a mais brasileira possível, percorrendo uma trilha difícil para não ceder aos modismos momentâneos do mercado da música. É como se eu estivesse fazendo alta costura com a minha música no sentido de fazer uma construção artesanal até chegar ao resultado final. Sempre segui minha intuição e sempre quis ter as contribuições de músicos e arranjadores da minha terra natal. Minha formação como artista, bailarina, cantora, compositora e intérprete foram fundamentais para eu saber o que queria e definir repertório, timbres e estratégias da carreira. Tudo impacta na nossa trajetória. Até o meu casamento com Malu impactou. Tive que lidar com o preconceito e a discriminação e tomei essa luta como bandeira de vida nas políticas para a comunidade LGBTQIAPN+. Sempre investi muito em pesquisa musical. Minhas gravadoras não tinham essa visão e não queriam disponibilizar verba para isso. Essa foi uma das razões para eu abrir minha própria gravadora há mais de 20 anos. Não foi e não é fácil. Mas sou livre para criar e para gerir minha obra, meu legado e minha história. História agora reconhecida mundialmente pelo Grammy. Em tantos anos de premiação, apenas cinco mulheres brasileiras receberam este prêmio e eu me sinto extasiada em me juntar a Gal Costa, Simone, Rita Lee, Beth Carvalho e Astrud Gilberto. A primeira da Axé Music a receber o Lifetime Achievement Award. CHOCADA! Em novembro, estarei em Las Vegas para receber, com muito orgulho, este troféu. Agora, vou gritar e pular aqui em casa! Esse é o meu Oscar. Fernandinha, a vida presta mesmo! 🏆❤️

Luiz Carlos Barreto, Barretão. Alto, forte, pernas rijas, coração imenso, compreensão profunda sobre nossa gente. Artista de olhos sempre abertos para a paisagem da nossa vida social, dos nossos mares belos, das nossas florestas imensas. Luiz Carlos Barreto, Barretão. Viveu longa trajetória de existência nesse mundo. Vai deixar muitas saudades, mas muita coisa realizada pra nós agora e pra gerações futuras.

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh ah ah… A gente sabe que você leu no ritmo! “A Novidade” foi composta por Gil a pedido dos amigos @os_paralamas , e virou um sucesso do repertório deles, assim como de seu Gilberto! A faixa “A Novidade - Ao Vivo em Brasília” faz parte do volume 2 do álbum “Tempo Rei, Ao Vivo”, que já está disponível agora em todas as plataformas, com audiovisual completo no YouTube! Qual faixa você quer saber mais sobre a composição? #EquipeGil

- What is Gilberto Gil's engagement rate on X?
- Gilberto Gil (@gilbertogil) has an engagement rate of 0.029%, based on the median interactions across 8 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,445,828 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.029%, Gilberto Gil sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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 @gilbertogil have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 64% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 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 @gilbertogil post?
- Most posts go out around 15:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.3 posts per day across the measured window.
