Glossary · Format

Trending

Topics surfacing as currently popular on X, ranked by velocity of mentions in a given location.

In depth

Trending topics are X's discovery engine for what's happening right now. They're location-aware (Trends for You vs. country trends) and update every few minutes.

Trending coverage decays fast: hopping on a trend within the first hour can earn outsized reach; piling on after it peaks usually gets ignored.
