What is the official name of the U.S. chart where Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 23?

Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It entered the chart after Folklore’s release and remained there for two consecutive weeks.

The Hot 100 ranks songs using a combination of activity such as streaming, sales, and radio airplay. Because Folklore was released as a surprise album and many of its songs were immediately streamed, Swift placed numerous tracks on the chart at the same time. “august” was one of those simultaneous entries rather than a traditional pre-release single.

The track’s Hot 100 position is sometimes mistaken for its ranking on genre-specific charts. It peaked at number five on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart and number eight on Rolling Stone’s Top 100. Those are separate rankings. The number 23 specifically refers to the all-genre U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
