Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 8 on the Rolling Stone Top 100 chart. The song’s chart table lists that position among its 2020–2021 weekly-chart results.
The track appeared on several different charts, and each has a separate peak. It reached number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 5 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, and number 46 on the Billboard Global 200 during its later resurgence. Those figures should not be substituted for its Rolling Stone position.
The chart performance reflects “august” gaining attention beyond its original album release. Although it was not issued as a conventional standalone single at launch, its recurring seasonal popularity and strong listener interest helped it chart internationally and reappear on major rankings.
