    How to get a hashtag trending on X

    Trending is a competition, not a fixed number. Here is how a hashtag gets into the Trends tab and stays there.

    X decides what trends by comparing how many people are posting about a topic right now against everything else that is being posted in the same place. That is why a hashtag can trend in one country and not in another, and why the same hashtag can trend easily in a quiet hour and struggle against a major news event.

    1. 01

      Pick a short, memorable hashtag

      Short, memorable hashtags that match the moment work best. Use the release title, the tour name or the artist name, not a sentence.

    2. 02

      Choose where it should trend

      Every country has its own Trends list and its own threshold. A country trend reaches one market. Worldwide puts the hashtag in X's Worldwide Trends.

    3. 03

      Build volume until it crosses the threshold

      A hashtag trends when enough posts use it at the same time to beat the competing topics. The volume needed rises and falls with what else is trending that hour.

    4. 04

      Hold it for the whole window

      Reaching the Trends tab is half the job. Volume has to keep scaling to hold the spot, and the ranking position can still move as other trends rise and fall.

    How many tweets does it take to trend?

    There is no fixed number. It depends on the country's threshold and on how much competition there is during your window. That is why we do not sell a tweet count: post volume scales with whatever the trend requires, and what you pay for is the trend itself, held for the duration you choose.

    The posts themselves matter too. Original, text-based posts are clean, fast and algorithm-friendly. Images, links and promotional content can flag a campaign, so we leave them out.

    Use cases

    When to use each duration

    A trend works best when it lines up with a moment fans are already looking for: a drop, an announcement or a premiere.

    1 to 2 hours
    Bundled into a campaign of $1,000+

    Announcement spikes and quick credibility hits.

    For music: A tour announcement, a surprise single going live, or the moment a music video premieres.

    5 hours
    From $1,200

    Sustained visibility during launches or live moments.

    For music: Release-day launches and live moments, like a premiere or a livestreamed set.

    12 to 24 hours
    From $2,400

    Major drops, campaigns and press capture windows.

    For music: A single or album drop, or the day press covers the release.
