Tips

  • Release songs and music videos near peak time and repeat the announcement in stories.
  • Use the time slots as a starting point and test for 3 weeks on your account.
  • Post about 15 minutes before the peak, so the post is already live when your audience opens the app.
  • Consider your audience's time zone, not yours.
