WHY DO TRENDING REELS AUDIO MATTER? 👇🏻
Reels Are Here To Stay
Do you notice your Instagram engagement increase after posting an Instagram Reel? We thought so, and you’re not the only one. In a world of short attention spans, these bite-sized videos grab your audience's focus and hold onto it.
There was a 57.4% year-over-year increase in usage for Instagram Reels in 2023.
Can’t argue with that.
Instagram users are getting lost in the Reels scroll – and we’re here for it.
What Is A Trending Audio on Instagram?
Now, let's get to the heart of the matter - the audio. When a sound or song is "trending" on Instagram, that means it's growing in popularity — which means that if used well, your Reel could be on the upward swing. You’ll know if a sound is trending by a tiny arrow next to the audio's name. ↓
Do Trending Audios Actually Matter?
So, why should you care? Because the right trending Reels audio can turn a “pretty good” Reel into an unforgettable “holy sh*t” one. It sets the mood, enhances the vibe, and makes your content stand out in the crowded world of social media. Using a trending audio indicates to Instagram’s algorithm that your post will likely perform well, which means that your Reel will be shown to more users, more often.
Even Instagram’s very own @creators account shares trending audios, and that’s how you know it’s real.
The data is worth a thousand words. Instagram Reels generate an engagement rate of 1.23%, where carousel posts are at 1.02% and standard image posts are at 0.72% (source: Influencer Marketing Hub).

The Power of Trends
Tapping into trending audio is like riding the social media wave. It puts your content in front of a broader audience, helps you stay relevant, and might just land you on the coveted Explore page.
That said, they also aren’t the “end all, be all”. If you can’t find a trend that fits your business and audience, no worries – skip the trend today and set your own path.
Regardless of how you use them, Reels are one of the best – and most effective – ways to harness the power of short form video is through Instagram Reels.
