Most Engaged Most Viewed Most Followed All X / Twitter →

This ranking covers 7 X / Twitter creators in the News niche, drawn from 464 posts ViralHunt tracks — 663K in combined views, likes, reposts and replies.

@TheEconomist leads it with 48.6K across 58 tracked posts, 7% of everything on this page and 1× the median creator here.

Positions come from the posts themselves, not from audience size: an account with a small following that consistently outperforms it places above a larger one that does not. Ranked by follower count, recalculated as new posts are collected, so this page moves as the X / Twitter accounts we track do. How ViralHunt measures this →
