Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number seven on the Philippines Songs chart in 2022.
The result came during the song’s renewed seasonal popularity, rather than at the time of its original 2020 release. As each August brings renewed interest in the track, streaming activity can push it onto charts in countries where it did not previously have a major chart run.
The Philippines result is distinct from the song’s 2022 chart appearances in Indonesia and Vietnam. It reached number 17 in Indonesia and number 85 in Vietnam. Those country-specific positions are easy to mix up because they were all connected with the same later resurgence.
The track also reached new or notable positions in several other markets during the broader period of renewed attention. Its annual pattern demonstrates how streaming can give an older album track fresh chart life without a new single release or remix.
