ContentScout's own analysis: we sample real public posts matching music search terms on YouTube 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.

How is this data measured?+
ContentScout reads social data from public YouTube posts. The platform ranks hashtags using its own scoring system, rather than relying on YouTube metrics.

What do the view numbers mean for my own posts?+
Average views describe the specific posts using each tag in the sample. They are not a guarantee of reach for your own content.

#harmony leads the ranking with 80,750,000 average views across 2 posts, followed by #kpop with 78,502,150 average views across 2 posts.
