How to see an account’s most liked tweets
X has no sort-by-likes button. Type the account’s handle into the finder above and it lists the 10 most liked posts of its whole history, with dates and counts. On X itself, search from:handle min_faves:1000 and change the number until only the best posts remain.
With this finder
Any public account, its whole history, the past year or the past 30 days, ranked by likes, views, reposts, replies or bookmarks. Free, no sign-up.
With X search
from:handle min_faves:1000Shows the account’s posts above the number of likes, newest first. Raise the number when you get hundreds, lower it when you get none. Nothing is ranked.
With X Analytics
For your own account only: the account overview at x.com/i/account_analytics lists your posts with their numbers and needs X Premium.
How the finder picks the number
It starts near the account’s follower count divided by 20, searches X with that min_faves, and steps the number down until at least 10 posts qualify. Then it reads up to 60 of them and ranks them. Replies and reposts stay out.
Looking for one particular post rather than the top ones? Search by words, account and dates with the Twitter Advanced Search, or read a whole day of an account’s posts with Search Tweets by Date.

Each number crowns a different post. Likes are the classic measure and compare across the years; views measure reach, but X counts them only since December 2022; reposts show spread, replies conversation, and bookmarks the posts people saved to read again.

- RepostsSpread: the posts people wanted their own followers to see.

}Questions about top tweets
The finder
Is the top tweets finder free?
Yes. It needs no sign-up, and it works on any public account. To pull every post of an account, or of a whole list, a free Sorsa API key gives you 100 requests: about 2,000 posts.
How does it find an account’s most liked tweets?
It uses the query from:handle min_faves:N, where N starts near the account’s follower count divided by 20 and steps down until at least 10 posts qualify. It reads up to 60 of them from the account’s whole history and ranks them. Replies and reposts are left out.
How do I see my own most liked tweets?
Type your handle and keep Likes. You get your 10 most liked posts with dates and counts, and a CSV of every post the search found.
Can I see someone else’s most popular tweets?
Yes, for any public account: a creator’s, a brand’s or a competitor’s. Rank them by likes, views, reposts, replies or bookmarks. Protected accounts can’t be searched.
Can I find someone’s most viewed tweet?
Yes: choose Views. The finder ranks the posts it found by their views. X counts views only on posts since December 2022, so older posts have none and come last.
Why is a famous old post missing?
Deleted posts are gone from X, and an account that turned protected can’t be read. Replies are left out on purpose. If the post is still public, make sure the period is All time.
Can I search one year or one month?
Yes. Pick All time, Past year or Past 30 days before you search. Each period is a new search.
Can I download the results?
Yes. Download CSV gives every post the search found, up to 60, with its likes, views, reposts, replies, bookmarks, date and link.
Will the account know I looked?
No. The finder only reads public data, and X doesn’t notify anyone. Your own X account is never touched.
Most liked tweets on X
What is the most liked tweet of all time?
The August 28, 2020 post from Chadwick Boseman’s account announcing the actor’s death, with 6,750,591 likes on Nov 1, 2026. Second is Elon Musk’s April 2022 Coca-Cola joke (4,177,609), third Barack Obama’s 2017 Nelson Mandela quote (3,396,878).
What are the top 10 most liked tweets?
In order on Nov 1, 2026: Chadwick Boseman’s death announcement, Elon Musk’s Coca-Cola joke, Barack Obama’s Mandela quote, Joe Biden’s “It’s a new day in America”, Greta Thunberg’s reply to Andrew Tate, Obama’s tribute to Kobe Bryant, Musk’s photo from the Butler rally, two posts by Jungkook of BTS and Thunberg’s pizza box joke.
What is the most viewed tweet?
X publishes no ranking of views, and it counts them only on posts since December 2022. Among the most liked posts above, the most viewed is Greta Thunberg’s reply to Andrew Tate, with 328,563,024 views on Nov 1, 2026.
Who has the most liked tweets?
BTS: 15 of the 28 most liked posts still on X, ten of them posted by Jungkook and V. Elon Musk has 3; Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Greta Thunberg 2 each.
Can I sort tweets by most liked on X?
Not on X itself: profiles show posts newest first. The nearest thing is a search like from:handle min_faves:1000, which filters but doesn’t rank. The finder above ranks them.
Can I see who liked a tweet?
No. Since June 2024 likes on X are private: only a post’s author sees who liked it. The finder counts likes; it never lists the people behind them.
What does min_faves mean in X search?
It sets a minimum number of likes (“faves”, from favorites, the old name for likes): from:handle min_faves:10000 returns that account’s posts with at least 10,000 likes. min_retweets and min_replies work the same way.
