Iron Maiden engagement report
@IronMaiden - 2.3M followers on X
Measured over 1 original post from a 30-day window, last computed on October 29, 2026.
Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 1 original post for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 4.7K interactions against 2.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.203%. Posts are seen about 183K times each, and 2.58% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.89% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.03 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 1 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 9.9K interactions, about 2.1x its own typical post. Only 1 original post have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Friday 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.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 100% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 100% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 1492 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Live After Death was released 40 years ago today ⥠Weâre happy to announce a brand new 2 LP collectors edition colour vinyl of the legendary live album! With the original gatefold sleeve artwork, one blue and one yellow 140g vinyl, a replica World Slavery Tour programme, this album also offers the original 8-page booklet with an additional essay: âRime And Punishment: Celebrating 40 Years Of Live After Death,â featuring interviews with Steve, Nicko, Rod, and album artwork designer Derek Riggs. As Steve explains of the time, âWe were touring our arses off. It was literally just, ârecord, tour, record, tourâ â we didnât stop. Rod was cracking the old whip, and that was the right thing to do. I mean, we were totally up for it, itâs not like we were doing stuff that we didnât want to do. You think youâre invincible â âYeah, weâll take that on, no problem.â Thatâs the way to crack it. Itâs the only way for a band like us because we had no radio play whatsoever back then.â To be released on 28 November everywhere, and 12 December for USA.
