In 2022, which country gave Taylor Swift’s “august” its highest listed national chart peak?

The story behind the answer

In 2022, the Philippines gave Taylor Swift’s “august” its highest listed national chart peak, at number seven.

The song’s renewed chart activity came from its annual August resurgence rather than from a new studio release. As listeners returned to the track during the month named in its title, it appeared on additional national charts in 2022. The Philippines peak was number seven, while it reached number 17 in Indonesia and number 85 in Vietnam.

Those results show how streaming-driven seasonal interest can create a second chart life for an older album track. The song had originally charted after Folklore’s 2020 release, including a number 23 peak on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The country is easy to confuse with Malaysia, where “august” reached number 11 upon its original release. Malaysia is an earlier chart result; the Philippines is the 2022 national-chart answer. The figures refer to chart positions, not the percentage increase in daily streams.
