What was “august” by Taylor Swift’s peak position in Malaysia?

The story behind the answer

Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 11 on Malaysia’s singles chart.

That position was recorded after the song’s release as part of Folklore in 2020. Malaysia was one of several markets where “august” reached the top 20, alongside Singapore, Australia, and Canada.

The song’s international performance illustrates how Folklore traveled beyond the US even though it was not promoted as a conventional standalone single. Its atmospheric production and vivid summer imagery also made it well suited to later social-media sharing, particularly around the beginning and end of August.

This Malaysian peak is often confused with nearby chart figures from other countries. The song reached number 12 in Singapore, number 13 in Australia, and number 16 in Canada. Those are separate national charts, not alternate Malaysian results.
