Taylor Swift’s “august” later reached number 46 on the Billboard Global 200.
The song first appeared on charts after Folklore’s 2020 release, but its recurring August resurgence produced new chart activity in later years. The track reached the Global 200 peak of number 46 in 2023.
That performance reflects the song’s unusual seasonal trajectory. Rather than relying only on release-week interest, “august” returns to listeners’ playlists each year as the calendar reaches the month named in its title.
The Global 200 is distinct from the US Billboard Hot 100 because it measures songs across territories. “august” peaked at number 23 on the US chart in 2020, while its later worldwide peak was number 46.
