# Re-run your own hit, quoting its views

A food and nutrition format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/food-and-nutrition/re-run-your-own-hit-quoting-its-views

Re-post or remix your own proven recipe and state its view count or 'viral' status in the first sentence. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 6x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Video, Voiceover.

## Why it works

The big number is social proof that the recipe works, and the sequel carries the original's demand. Megan Kay opens with 'over 12 million views' and Maddie Rickman with '15 million views'.

## How to make it

1. Say how big the original got in the first 3 seconds
2. Add a twist or alternative (new tool, trending format, soupy makeover)
3. Show the finished dish right away

## Hook formula

My [dish] has over [X] million views, so here it is [a new way].

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
