On which chart did Taylor Swift’s “august” spend two consecutive weeks in 2020?

Taylor Swift’s “august” spent two consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2020.

The song entered the Hot 100 after Folklore’s release and peaked at number 23. The Hot 100 is a singles chart, while the Billboard 200 ranks albums and extended releases, so “august” should not be described as having spent two weeks on the album chart.

Folklore’s surprise-release strategy produced a large group of simultaneous chart entries. Many listeners discovered “august” as an album track rather than through a conventional single campaign, and its later August streaming tradition increased its cultural visibility.

The two-week figure describes the song’s initial chart appearance. It is separate from later seasonal streaming surges, which can produce renewed attention without rewriting the original 2020 chart history.
