Search Twitter/X Trends by Country & Location

Trending hashtags change constantly based on current events, social movements, and popular conversations. You can find what's trending right now by checking Twitter/X's trending section, using our trends search tool, or exploring popular topics by country. Popular trending hashtags often include current news events, viral challenges, sports events, or cultural moments.

There are several ways to check trending topics on X (formerly Twitter): 1) Use the built-in "Trending" section in the X app or website, 2) Visit our trends search tool to explore trends by country and time period, 3) Search for specific keywords or hashtags to see their popularity, 4) Use the "Explore" tab to discover trending content in your region.

Hashtags on X appear in posts, trending sections, and search results. To see hashtags: 1) Look at the trending topics sidebar, 2) Search for specific hashtags using the search bar, 3) Browse through popular posts and conversations, 4) Use our trends tool to explore hashtag performance by country and time period. Hashtags are clickable and will show you all posts containing that specific tag.

The "3 hashtag rule" is a social media strategy that suggests using exactly 3 hashtags per post for optimal engagement. The theory is that 1-2 hashtags might be too few to increase visibility, while more than 3 can make posts look spammy. However, this rule is more of a guideline than a strict requirement - focus on using relevant, trending hashtags that add value to your content rather than forcing yourself to use exactly three.

To find viral hashtags: 1) Monitor trending topics regularly using our trends search tool, 2) Research hashtags related to current events, challenges, or popular culture, 3) Analyze successful posts in your niche to see what hashtags they use, 4) Create unique, memorable hashtags for your own campaigns, 5) Combine trending hashtags with branded or niche-specific tags. Viral hashtags often emerge from breaking news, entertainment events, or user-generated challenges.

Viral hashtags typically have these characteristics: 1) Timely - related to current events or breaking news, 2) Emotional - evoke strong feelings like humor, outrage, or inspiration, 3) Shareable - encourage user participation and sharing, 4) Unique yet understandable - easy to remember and type, 5) Community-driven - created by users rather than brands. Examples include challenge hashtags, event-related tags, or cultural movement hashtags that capture widespread attention.

Hashtags that get the most attention are typically: 1) Trending topics shown in X's trending section, 2) Popular news and current events (#BreakingNews, #Election2024), 3) Entertainment and pop culture (#SuperBowl, #Oscars), 4) Viral challenges (#IceBucketChallenge style), 5) Sports events (#WorldCup, #NBA), 6) Social movements or awareness campaigns, 7) Holiday and seasonal tags (#Christmas, #NewYear). Use our trends tool to see which hashtags have the highest tweet volumes and engagement rates.

To check if a hashtag is trending: 1) Look for it in X's "Trending" section, 2) Use our trends search tool to search for specific hashtags and see their tweet volume, 3) Search the hashtag directly on X and check the number of recent posts, 4) Monitor the hashtag's performance over time using our chart feature, 5) Compare it with other similar hashtags to gauge relative popularity. High tweet volumes (thousands or millions) within a short time period usually indicate trending status.

Choose hashtags strategically: 1) Mix trending and evergreen hashtags, 2) Use relevant tags that match your content's topic, 3) Include location-based hashtags for local reach, 4) Create branded hashtags for campaigns, 5) Research what your target audience uses, 6) Avoid overusing hashtags (2-3 per post is often optimal), 7) Make hashtags readable and memorable. Quality over quantity - focus on hashtags that genuinely relate to your content rather than stuffing posts with unrelated trending tags.

To spot trends early: 1) Monitor emerging hashtags before they hit the trending section, 2) Follow industry influencers and thought leaders, 3) Set up alerts for specific keywords using our search tools, 4) Check regional trends that might go global, 5) Analyze social media conversations around breaking news, 6) Look for patterns in user-generated content, 7) Use our historical trends data to identify recurring patterns.
