# What is the most liked tweet? (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/data/most-liked-tweet) As of 2026-09-06, the most liked tweet of all time has 7 million likes, posted by Chadwick Boseman (@chadwickboseman), ranked live across 28 public posts via the SocialCrawl API. That is 2 million likes clear of the runner-up, Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in by Elon Musk, at 4 million. Computed 2026-09-06 from a sample of 28. ## Methodology SocialCrawl reads the public like count for a curated basket of historically most-liked posts via /v1/twitter/tweet, then ranks them by the live favorite count. 28 tweets were ranked on 2026-09-06. The basket is drawn from posts already known to sit among the most liked, not an exhaustive scan of every post on X, so it answers which of these has the most likes rather than a census of X. X publishes no official ranking. Photo-only posts with no caption are labelled by the author's @handle, because the API body is a t.co URL rather than a sentence. Long tweets are shown as their first sentence in the table; the verbatim body is kept in the snapshot. Two Wikipedia-listed records that X had already deleted (Andy Milonakis' astronaut joke and Twitter's 'hello literally everyone') were never fetched. Two more posts returned 404 when fetched live and were dropped from the basket. A 404 is not a zero, and this page never backfills a deleted tweet with a stale number. The most retweeted post named here is the most retweeted of these 28, not of X as a whole. Every count is read live, never estimated. ## FAQ ### What is the most liked tweet of all time? As of 2026-09-06, @chadwickboseman by Chadwick Boseman is the most liked tweet in this ranking, with 7 million likes. It is ranked live from public post data across 28 well-known tweets via the SocialCrawl API, so the number tracks the live total rather than a stale estimate. ### How many likes does the most liked tweet have? 7 million as of 2026-09-06, which is 2 million ahead of the runner-up, Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in by Elon Musk at 4 million. Both counts are re-read daily, so the gap on this page is the current one rather than a figure typed in once. ### Does this count every tweet on X? No. X publishes no official ranking of the most-liked posts. This page ranks a curated basket of 28 tweets already known to sit among the most liked, read live on 2026-09-06. It answers which of these has the most likes, not which tweet would win a census of the whole platform. ### Is the most liked tweet also the most retweeted? Not necessarily. As of 2026-09-06 the retweet leader of the 28 tweets ranked here is ZOZOTOWN新春セールが史上最速で取扱高100億円を先ほど突破！！ by 前澤友作, with 3 million retweets. Likes count approval and retweets count shares, so they routinely have different winners. Note this is the most retweeted post in this basket, not on X as a whole. ### What happens to a deleted record-holding tweet? It is not ranked. When X has removed a post, /v1/twitter/tweet returns no like count, and this page never fills a deleted tweet with an old Wikipedia number. Only posts that still publish a public like count as of 2026-09-06 appear here. ### Why is the top tweet labelled with an @handle? A photo-only post with no caption is labelled by its @handle rather than by invented text. The ranking still uses the live like count. Long tweets are shown as their first sentence; the verbatim body stays in the snapshot. ## Explore with AI Questions this API answers, phrased for an AI assistant: - What is the most liked tweet? - What is the most liked tweet of all time? - How many likes does the most liked tweet have? - What is the most liked tweet on Twitter? - What is the most liked tweet ever?
