Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 9 on Sweden’s Sverigetopplistan Heatseekers chart.
The Heatseekers ranking is distinct from Sweden’s main singles chart. It is designed to highlight newer or emerging recordings, so a song can have a documented Heatseekers position without that number representing its peak on a country’s primary all-songs ranking.
For “august,” the Swedish result sits alongside chart peaks in several other territories. The song reached the top 20 in Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and Canada upon its initial release, while later seasonal attention contributed to renewed chart activity in other markets.
This fact is easy to confuse with the song’s US genre-chart peak of number 5 or its Billboard Hot 100 debut at number 23. Each figure belongs to a different chart, and the Swedish number 9 specifically identifies the Sverigetopplistan Heatseekers listing.
