What UK certification did Taylor Swift’s “august” eventually earn?

Taylor Swift’s “august” eventually earned a 2× Platinum certification in the United Kingdom. The certification reflects the song’s accumulated sales and streaming performance in that market.

The track’s popularity continued well beyond its 2020 release. Annual August listening, social-media posts, and renewed streaming helped turn a nontraditional album track into a recurring seasonal success.

Certification levels are sometimes confused with chart peaks. A chart position measures a song’s rank during a particular period, whereas a certification records cumulative consumption after the relevant threshold is reached. “august” had a UK peak of number 78 but later received 2× Platinum status.
