In which country did Taylor Swift’s “august” peak at number 11 on the 2020–2021 singles charts?

The story behind the answer

Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 11 in Malaysia on the 2020–2021 singles charts.

The song also performed strongly in several other markets. It reached number 13 in Australia, number 12 in Singapore, number 16 in Canada, and number 19 on Canada’s Billboard Hot 100 listing as recorded in the song’s chart table. These figures show that its appeal extended well beyond the United States.

The Malaysian result belongs to the song’s original chart-performance period, before later August resurgences produced additional peaks in other territories. In 2022, the track appeared on charts in countries including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

Country-specific chart positions are easy to confuse because the song appeared on multiple national and international rankings. The number 11 result is specifically the Malaysian peak, not the song’s Global 200 peak or its U.S. Hot 100 position.
