Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 13 in Australia after Folklore was released.
The Australian result came from the ARIA singles chart, where the song reached the top 20. The track also achieved top-20 peaks in Malaysia, Singapore, and Canada, so the country-specific wording matters.
Its international chart performance reflects the strength of Folklore’s surprise release and the song’s immediate streaming attention. Later August resurgences brought the track back into public conversation, but the Australian peak listed for its original chart activity was number 13.
Listeners sometimes confuse Australia with Canada, where the song peaked at number 16, or Singapore, where it reached number 12. Those are separate national chart results. The annual August trend is global in reach, but its individual chart positions depend on each country’s own ranking system.
