Taylor Swift’s “august” reached a new Billboard Global 200 peak in 2023.
The song was originally released in 2020 on Folklore, but its chart life continued well beyond the album’s debut period. Its annual rise in attention during August became a recurring feature of Swift’s streaming history and eventually helped the track achieve a new global-chart high.
The Billboard Global 200 was introduced after Folklore’s release, so the song’s later appearance on that chart reflects renewed listening rather than its original album-week performance. In 2023, the track reached number 46, its listed Global 200 peak.
This timeline is easy to confuse with the song’s 2020 Hot 100 debut or the 2022 streaming resurgence reported by Billboard. Those are separate milestones. The specific year connected with the new Global 200 peak is 2023.
