Taylor Swift’s “august” reached number one in none of the countries listed on its song article.
The track performed strongly in several markets but did not top the listed singles charts. Upon release, it reached number 11 in Malaysia, number 12 in Singapore, number 13 in Australia, and number 16 in Canada. Those are notable international placements, but none is a number-one result.
The song later gained renewed chart attention during the annual August trend. In 2022, it reached number seven in the Philippines, number 17 in Indonesia, and number 85 in Vietnam. It also achieved new peaks of number 38 in Ireland and number 78 in the United Kingdom. These later appearances reflect its seasonal resurgence rather than an original number-one run.
This question distinguishes chart presence from chart leadership. “august” peaked at number five on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, but that genre-chart position is not the same as topping a national singles chart.
