Taylor Swift’s “august” reached number 11 on Malaysia’s singles chart.
On its original release, the song also reached the top 20 in Singapore, Australia, and Canada, but Malaysia gave it the highest peak among those four listed markets. Its other early peaks included number 12 in Singapore, number 13 in Australia, and number 19 on the Canadian Hot 100.
The country is sometimes confused with the song’s later international chart appearances. In 2022, “august” appeared on charts in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam, while it achieved new peaks in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Those later results belong to the song’s renewed popularity, not its initial Malaysia ranking.
Malaysia’s number 11 position demonstrates that “august” connected with listeners outside the United States from the beginning. The later annual August trend expanded that international visibility as fans repeatedly streamed the song during its namesake month.
