Taylor Swift’s “august” has received a 2× Platinum certification in the United Kingdom.
The certification appears in the song’s regional certification table and is attributed to the British Phonographic Industry. The track’s UK performance also included a later peak at number 78 on the UK Singles Chart during the period when its August popularity was recurring.
Certification levels measure a recording’s qualifying sales and streaming units under the relevant organization’s rules; they are not the same as a chart position. That distinction matters here because the song’s UK chart peak and its 2× Platinum award describe different achievements. The song has also earned certifications in several other territories, including Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, and Spain.
