What Australian certification did Taylor Swift’s “august” earn?
Answer
4× Platinum
Taylor Swift’s “august” earned a 4× Platinum certification in Australia.
The certification is listed by the Australian Recording Industry Association, commonly abbreviated ARIA. It reflects the song’s certified sales and streaming performance in Australia rather than its position on a weekly chart.
The track’s original Australian singles-chart peak was number 13. That chart result and the later certification measure different things: a peak records the highest weekly position, while certification records accumulated eligible consumption.
The song also earned certifications in several other territories, including 2× Platinum in Brazil and the United Kingdom, 3× Platinum in New Zealand, and Platinum in Poland, Portugal, and Spain.
