Taylor Swift’s “august” received a 2× Platinum certification in the United Kingdom.
The certification is listed in the song’s regional certification table and is associated with 1,200,000 certified units. Certification figures combine the relevant sales and streaming rules used by the issuing organization, so they are not identical to a song’s chart peak or raw purchase count.
The United Kingdom result is one of several certifications listed for “august.” The song is also shown as 4× Platinum in Australia, 3× Platinum in New Zealand, and 2× Platinum in Brazil. Other markets list Gold or Platinum awards.
These awards reflect the track’s long-term listening life as well as its initial release. Its annual August resurgence repeatedly brings the song back into public conversation and streaming playlists, helping explain why a track from Folklore continued to accumulate attention after 2020.
