Top Instagram Hashtags for Music Posts
This week, we sampled 66 public Music posts on Instagram. Across the sample, the average view count is 591,298 and the median engagement rate is 4.19%. ContentScout reads this social data and ranks the hashtags used by the best-performing posts.
ContentScout's own analysis: we sample real public posts matching music search terms on Instagram and score them by how much engagement they're getting relative to how recently they were posted. Hashtags are ranked by the average views of the posts using them, not by how often they appear. The numbers describe those posts, they don't promise results.

Questions, answered.
How is this data measured?+
ContentScout samples public Instagram posts in the Music niche this week and analyzes their view counts, engagement rates, and hashtag usage. This page is the first time this data has run, so there is no prior run to compare against yet.
Should I use all of these hashtags at once?+
No. The data lists individual hashtags used by different posts, not a required combination for a single post.
Do these view counts guarantee results for my posts?+
