Using these hashtags well
Put the language in the tag
Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil and Bengali listeners often browse by language. #punjabisongs reaches a far more exact crowd than #song.
Mention the song name in the caption
Song titles are the most direct way people search. Write the title and film or album in the caption, not only in tags.
Use one mood tag per post
Posts tagged #rainysongs or #nightdrivesongs find people in that exact mood instead of the whole music crowd.
Questions
Can I use hashtags for songs I did not make?
Yes, tags describe the post, like a lyric clip or a recommendation. Give credit to the creators in the caption.
How many hashtags should a song post have?
Up to five on Instagram, mixing a language tag, a mood tag and one for the format.
Are lyric hashtags different on Reels?
The tags are similar, but a Reel benefits from a few format tags such as #lyricvideo and #songstatus.
