A Musical Marketing Month 🔥
If Coachella wasn’t hyped enough with Lana Del Ray and Billie Eilish’s comeback, Taylor Swift’s album launch captivated us all. Every millennial felt as though they had teleported to the golden era with reels and all posts talking about Coachella, and then Taylor shook up the world by releasing her album with 31-freakin-songs!
And she lived up to her reputation as the marketing queen with easter eggs scattered all over social media. In fact, Instagram gave her an exclusive feature for the ‘Tortured Poet’s Department’ launch countdown, redirecting to Threads.
We couldn’t help but track this absolute madness, and results are just what we live for:
- Total number of posts shared: 8.4M vs 401.4K
- Total posts shared at peak hour: 1.89M vs 175K
- Total impressions: 19.2B vs 1.5B
- Sentiment Score: 71 vs 59
It was interesting to see that it took Coachella 2 weeks and hundreds of artists and brands to make it a success while an album release from Taylor Swift in 2 days could contribute 5% in the total share of voice.
