Taylor Swift’s “august” peaked at number 11 on Malaysia’s singles chart after its 2020 release.
The song performed internationally even though it was not released as Folklore’s main single. Its original chart run placed it in the top 20 in several markets, including Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, and Canada. Those results reflect the broad global reach of Folklore’s surprise release.
The Malaysian peak is separate from the song’s later annual August revival. In later years, renewed streaming and online discussion helped “august” reappear in charts and streaming conversations, but the number 11 figure refers to its initial Malaysian chart performance.
Readers sometimes confuse Malaysia’s result with Singapore’s peak of number 12 or Australia’s peak of number 13. Each number belongs to a different national chart, so the country named in the question is essential to identifying the correct answer.
