The Beatles engagement report
@thebeatles - 3.5M followers on X
Measured over 11 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3.1K interactions against 3.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0.088%. Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 83% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 110K times each, and 2.82% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.13% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 11 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 9% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 22K interactions, about 7.0x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
The Beatles's engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 85% 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 0.088%, The Beatles sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.08% to 0.433%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

- What is The Beatles's engagement rate on X?
- The Beatles (@thebeatles) has an engagement rate of 0.088%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 3,527,403 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.088%, The Beatles sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,654 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.

- Its engagement rate beats 83% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the top quarter for its size 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.
