How is this data measured?

ContentScout reads social data from public posts and ranks them using its own scoring system, rather than relying on the platform's native metrics. This week's sample includes 159 posts.

Which hashtags have the highest average views?

#sandwich leads the ranking with 79,320,694 average views across 2 posts. #foryou follows with 62,125,522 average views across 4 posts.

Which hashtags appear on the most posts in the sample?

#cooking is the most frequent tag in the sample, appearing on 44 posts with 21,317,917 average views. #fyp appears on 26 posts with 20,097,186 average views.

Do high average views guarantee success?

No. A hashtag's average views describe the performance of the posts using it in our sample, and they do not guarantee reach for your own content.

Should I use all of these hashtags on every post?

No. The data shows individual performance metrics for specific tags, and you should mix broad and specific terms based on your content rather than using them all at once.
