Taylor Swift’s “august” initially reached number 11 in Malaysia.
The song performed especially well across several international charts when Folklore was released. It reached the top 20 in Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and Canada, showing that its appeal extended beyond Swift’s main English-language markets.
Malaysia’s number 11 position is distinct from the song’s later Billboard Global 200 peak of number 46. The Global 200 is a worldwide chart, while the Malaysian chart measures performance in one national market.
The track later experienced renewed attention each August, when listeners and fan communities revisited its late-summer imagery. That annual pattern helped “august” remain culturally visible even though it was not promoted as a traditional standalone single at the time of Folklore’s release.
